 After the changes are completed for each section, click OK to
register the changes.
Note that if the IP address is changed, the
http
session has to be restarted with the new IP
address.
5.2.4 Using Telnet
The telnet client is enabled on the ML3000. The ML3000 supports five simultaneous
sessions on a switch: four telnet sessions and one console session. This allows many users
to view, discuss, or edit changes to the ML3000. This is also useful when two remote users
want to view the switch settings. The telnet client can be disabled through the command
line interface by using the
telnet disable
command with the following syntax:
telnet <enable|disable>
Telnet can also be disabled for specific users with the
useraccess
command. Refer to
Setting the IP Parameters on page 1–13 for details.
Multiple telnet sessions started from the CLI interface or the command line are serviced by
the ML3000 in a round-robin fashion (that is, one session after another). If one telnet
session started from an ML3000 is downloading a file, the other windows will not be
serviced until the file transfer is completed.
The following example changes the telnet access. In this case, the enable command was
repeated without any effect to the switch.
ML3000#
configure access
ML3000(access)##
telnet enable
Access to Telnet already enabled
ML3000(access)##
exit
