Telnet Session
Telnet is a terminal emulation TCP/IP protocol. ASCII terminals can be virtually connected to the local
device through a TCP/IP protocol network. Telnet is an alternative to a local login terminal where a
remote login is required.
The switch supports up to five simultaneous Telnet sessions. All CLI commands can be used over a
Telnet session.
The Telnet Session Configuration page allows you to control inbound Telnet settings on the switch.
Inbound Telnet sessions originate on a remote system and allow a user on that system to connect to the
switch CLI.

Table 23: Telnet Session Configuration Fields
Field
Description
Admin Mode
Enables or disables the Telnet administrative mode. When enabled, the device may be
accessed through the Telnet port (23). Disabling this mode value disconnects all existing
Telnet connections and shuts down the Telnet port in the device.
Telnet Port
The TCP port number on which the Telnet server listens for requests. Existing Telnet login
sessions are not affected by a change in this value, although establishment of any new
Telnet sessions must use the new port number.
Before changing this value, verify that the desired port number is not currently being used
by any other service.
Session Timeout
(Minutes)
Specify how many minutes of inactivity should occur on a Telnet session before the
session is logged off. You may enter any number from 1 to 160. The factory default is 5.
When you change the timeout value, the new value is applied to all active and inactive
sessions immediately. Any sessions that have been idle longer than the new timeout value
are disconnected immediately.
Maximum Number of
Sessions
From the drop-down menu, select how many simultaneous Telnet sessions to allow. The
maximum is 4, which is also the factory default. A value of 0 indicates that no outbound
Telnet session can be established.
Allow New Sessions
Controls whether to allow new Telnet sessions:
•
Yes - Permits new Telnet sessions until the maximum number allowed is reached.
•
No - New Telnet sessions will not be allowed, but existing sessions are not
disconnected.
