Configuring Telnet Settings
• Exec Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits until user input is detected. If user input
is not detected within the timeout interval, the current session is terminated.
(Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 600 seconds)
• Password Threshold – Sets the password intrusion threshold, which limits the number of failed
logon attempts. When the logon attempt threshold is reached, the system interface becomes
silent for a specified amount of time (set by the Silent Time parameter) before allowing the next
logon attempt. (Range: 0-120; Default: 3 attempts)
• Silent Time – Sets the amount of time the management interface is inaccessible after the
number of unsuccessful logon attempts has been exceeded. (Range: 0-65535 seconds;
Default: Disabled)
NOTE
Password checking can be enabled or disabled for login to the console connection (see “login” on
page 77). You can select authentication by a single global password as configured for the password
command, or by passwords set up for specific user-name accounts. The default is for local
passwords configured on the switch.
Interface
To configure parameters for the console port:
1. Click System, then Telnet.
2. Specify the connection parameters as required.
3. Click Apply
