Introduction
Logging In and Logging Out
The Command Line Interface allo ws a single Telnet client to be connected to the switch. If
a Telnet client logs o ut, or if after 15 minutes of inac tivity the client’s access times out,
another Telnet client may log in. Also note that the Telnet client (user) must log in any time
the director or switc h is restarted because the current user’s access is lost. Examples of a
restart include an IPL and any po wer-off situation.

show.system commands), as well as the globally available commands (login, logout, and
