Configuring Terminal
Attributes
The following commands can be used for configuring the terminal attributes,
including enabling/disabling terminal service, disconnection upon timeout,
lockable user interface, configuring terminal screen length and history command
buffer size.
Perform the following configuration in user interface view. Perform lock
command in user view.
Enabling/disabling terminal service
After the terminal service is disabled on a user interface, you cannot log in to the
switch through the user interface. However, the user logged in through the user
interface before disabling the terminal service can continue his operation. After
such user logs out, he cannot log in again. In this case, a user can log in to the
switch through the user interface only when the terminal service is enabled again.
By default, terminal service is enabled on all the user interfaces.
Note the following points:
■ For the sake of security, the undo shell command can only be used on the user
interfaces other than Console user interface.
■ You cannot use this command on the user interface via which you log in.
■ You will be asked to confirm before using undo shell on any legal user
interface.
