Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services
Managing Telnet
Telnet requires a valid username and password for access to the switch.
Telnet Login Timers
After the username prompt is displayed, MSS allows 30 seconds to enter a valid username
and password to complete the login. If you do not press Enter or complete the login before
the timer expires, MSS ends the session. This timer is not configurable.
Enabling Telnet
Telnet is disabled by default. To enable Telnet, use the following command:
set ip telnet server
{
enable
|
disable
}
Adding a Telnet User
To log in with Telnet, a user must supply a valid username and password. To add a username
and password to the local database, use the following command:
set user
username
password
password
Optionally, you also can configure MSS either to locally authenticate the user or to use a
RADIUS server to authenticate the user. Use the following command:
set authentication
admin
{
user-glob
}
method1
[
method2
] [
method3
] [
method4
]
You can use the same username and password for SSH or create a new one. For a CLI
example, see Adding an SSH User.
Displaying Telnet Status
To display the status of the Telnet server, use the following command:
show ip telnet
To display the Telnet server status and the TCP port number on which an Switch listens for
Telnet traffic, type the following command:
