Disabling specific access methods
You can specifically disable the following access methods:
•
Telnet access
•
Web management access
•
SNMP access
•
TFTP
NOTE
If you disable Telnet access, you will not be able to access the CLI except through a serial connection
to the management module. If you disable SNMP access, you will not be able to use Brocade
Network Advisor or third-party SNMP management applications.
Disabling Telnet access
You can use a Telnet client to access the CLI on the device over the network. If you do not plan to
use the CLI over the network and want to disable Telnet access to prevent others from establishing
CLI sessions with the device, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#no telnet server
To re-enable Telnet operation, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#telnet server
Syntax: [no] telnet server
Disabling Web management access
If you want to prevent access to the device through the Web Management Interface, you can
disable the Web Management Interface.
NOTE
As soon as you make this change, the device stops responding to Web management sessions. If you
make this change using your Web browser, your browser can contact the device, but the device will
not reply once the change takes place.
To disable the Web Management Interface, enter the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#no web-management
Syntax: [no] web-management [http | https]
Use the no web-management command with no option specified to disable both web management
through http access and web management through https access.
Use the command no web-management http to disable only web management through http
access.
Use the command no web-management https to disable only web management through https
access.
