Setting Time Out of EXEC Privilege Mode

EXEC time-out is a basic security feature that returns FTOS to EXEC mode after a period of inactivity on the terminal

lines.

To set time out, use the following commands.

• Set the number of minutes and seconds. The default is 10 minutes on the console and 30 minutes on VTY.

Disable EXEC time out by setting the time-out period to 0.

LINE mode

exec-timeout minutes [seconds]

• Return to the default time-out values.

LINE mode

no exec-timeout

The following example shows how to set the time-out period and how to view the configuration using the show

config

command from LINE mode.

Example of Setting the Time Out Period for EXEC Privilege Mode

FTOS(conf)#line con 0

FTOS(config-line-console)#exec-timeout 0

FTOS(config-line-console)#show config

line console 0

exec-timeout 0 0

FTOS(config-line-console)#

Using Telnet to get to Another Network Device

To telnet to another device, use the following commands.

NOTE: On the Z9000 platform, the system allows 120 Telnet sessions per minute, allowing the login and logout of 10

Telnet sessions, 12 times in a minute. If the system reaches this non-practical limit, the Telnet service is stopped

for 10 minutes. You can use console and SSH service to access the system during downtime.

• Telnet to the peer RPM. You do not need to configure the management port on the peer RPM to be able to telnet to it.

EXEC Privilege mode

telnet-peer-rpm

• Telnet to a device with an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

EXEC Privilege

telnet [ip-address]

If you do not enter an IP address, FTOS enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one.

Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).

Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is supported.

Example of the telnet Command for Device Access

FTOS# telnet 10.11.80.203

Trying 10.11.80.203...

Connected to 10.11.80.203.

Exit character is '^]'.
