3Com Switch 8800 Configuration Guide Chapter 4 User Interface Configuration
4-5
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.
