CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Switch Configuration
Starting the Telnet Session
Observe the following when starting a Telnet session to the switch:
•
In the IP Information screen, the IP State must be set to BootP When Needed
or BootP Always for the IP stack and Telnet to work.
•
The Telnet must be pre-configured to have a VT100/VT220 compatible setup.
•
Only one type of session is supported at any time, either the console or Telnet
session. Starting a Telnet session before ending the console session causes the
screen to display a
Console is currently in use
message.
•
There may be conflicts between Telnet sessions. If one Telnet session is
disrupted by the user at the console, the Telnet session’s configuration may not
have been completed. In some menus, changes take effect immediately, as in
adding filters, and in other menus, such as STP, the changes are not saved until
the menu is exited.
Stopping the Telnet Session
Telnet sessions can be terminated by pressing
CTRL-B
or any other means available
through the user’s Telnet application.
Involuntary Termination of the Telnet Session
The following can terminate a Telnet session:
•
A Telnet session can be terminated involuntarily by the console or by itself.
When the console is idle and Telnet is active, a user at the console can
terminate the Telnet session without warning. When the Telnet sessions ends,
the Telnet session screen displays the message:
Your session has been
terminated due to system maintenance work.
•
If any changes are made in the STP configuration.
•
The Telnet session also ends if a user makes changes in any of the following IP
parameters:
— IP address
— Default gateway
— Subnet mask
— IP state
•
The Telnet session also times out if there has been no activity for 5 minutes.
