To clear all SSH server sessions, type the following command:

WX1200# clear sessions admin ssh This will terminate manager sessions, do you wish to continue? (yn) [n]y Cleared ssh session on tty3

(To manage Telnet client sessions, see “Logging In to a Remote Device” on page 132.)

Managing Telnet Telnet requires a valid username and password for access to the switch.

Telnet Login Timers

After the username prompt is displayed, MSS allows 30 seconds to enter a valid username and password to complete the login. If you do not press Enter or complete the login before the timer expires, MSS ends the session. This timer is not configurable.

Enabling Telnet

Telnet is disabled by default. To enable Telnet, use the following command:

set ip telnet server {enable disable}

Adding a Telnet User

To log in with Telnet, a user must supply a valid username and password. To add a username and password to the local database, use the following command:

set user username password password

Optionally, you also can configure MSS either to locally authenticate the user or to use a RADIUS server to authenticate the user. Use the following command:

set authentication admin {user-glob}method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]

You can use the same username and password for SSH or create a new one. For a CLI example, see “Adding an SSH User” on page 114.
