connection management
The switch supports three connection methods:
- console
- SSH
- Telnet
The switch always enables console and SSH. Telnet is disabled by default.
management commands place the switch in a configuration mode for changing session connection parameters.
Examples
- The management console
command places the switch in console management
mode:
switch(config)#management console switch(config-mgmt-console)#
- The management ssh
command places the switch in SSH management
mode:
switch(config)#management ssh switch(config-mgmt-ssh)#
- The management telnet
command places the switch in Telnet management
mode:
switch(config)#management telnet switch(config-mgmt-telnet)#
- The exit command
returns the switch to global configuration
mode:
switch(config-mgmt-ssh)#exit switch(config)#
The idle-timeout commands shown below configure the idle-timeout period for the connection type being configured. The idle timeout is the interval that the connection waits after a users most recent command before shutting down the connection. Automatic connection timeout is disabled by setting the idle-timeout to zero, which is the default setting.
Examples
- This idle-timeout (SSH management)
command configures an SSH idle-timeout period of
three
hours.
switch(config)#management ssh switch(config-mgmt-ssh)#idle-timeout 180
- This idle-timeout (Telnet management)
command disables automatic connection timeout for
telnet
connections.
switch(config)#management telnet switch(config-mgmt-telnet)#idle-timeout 0
- The shutdown (Telnet management) command enables and disables Telnet on the switch.
- These commands enable
Telnet.
switch(config)#management telnet switch(config-mgmt-telnet)#no shutdown
- These commands disable
Telnet.
switch(config)#management telnet switch(config-mgmt-telnet)#shutdown
