44 CHAPTER 3: LOGGING IN THROUGH THE CONSOLE PORT
Note that the command level available to users logging into a switch through the
password authentication mode depends on both the authentication-mode
password and the user privilege level level command, as listed in the following
table.
Configuration Example Network requirements
Perform the following configuration for users logging in through the Console
port:
■ Authenticate users logging in through the Console port using the local
password.
■ Set the local password to 123456 (in plain text).
■ The commands of level 2 are available to users logging into the AUX user
interface.
■ The baud rate of the Console port is 19,200 bps.
■ The screen can contain up to 30 lines.
■ The history command buffer can store up to 20 commands.
■ The timeout time of the AUX user interface is 6 minutes.
Set the timeout time for
the user interface
idle-timeout minutes
[ seconds ]
Optional
The default timeout time of a user
interface is 10 minutes.
With the timeout time being 10
minutes, the connection to a user
interface is terminated if no operation
is performed in the user interface
within 10 minutes.
You can use the idle-timeout 0
command to disable the timeout
function.
