Defining the Telnet idle time
You can define how many minutes a Telnet session can remain idle before it is timed out. An idle
Telnet session is a session that is still sending TCP ACKs in response to keepalive messages from
the device, but is not being used to send data.
To configure the idle time for a Telnet session, use the following command.
Brocade(config)#telnet timeout 120
Syntax: [no] telnet timeout <minutes>
For <minutes> enter a value from 0 – 240. The default value is 0 minutes (no timeout).
Changing the login timeout period for Telnet sessions
By default, the login timeout period for a Telnet session is 1 minute. To change the login timeout
period, use the following command.
Brocade(config)#telnet login-timeout 5
Syntax: [no] telnet login-timeout <minutes>
For <minutes>, enter a value from 1 to 10. The default timeout period is 1 minute.
Specifying the maximum number of login attempts
for Telnet access
If you are connecting to the Brocade device using Telnet, the device prompts you for a username
and password. By default, you have up to 4 chances to enter a correct username and password. If
you do not enter a correct username or password after 4 attempts, the Brocade device disconnects
the Telnet session.
You can specify the number of attempts a Telnet user has to enter a correct username and
password before the device disconnects the Telnet session. For example, to allow a Telnet user up
to 5 chances to enter a correct username and password, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)#telnet login-retries 5
Syntax: [no] telnet login-retries <number>
You can specify from 0 – 5 attempts. The default is 4 attempts.
Changing the login timeout period for Telnet sessions
To change the login timeout period for Telnet sessions to 5 minutes, enter the following command:
Brocade(config)# telnet login-timeout 5
Syntax: [no] telnet login-timeout <minutes>
For <minutes>, specify a value from 1 – 10. The default is 2 minutes.
