Changing the Telnet Service Port Number

To change the TCP port the WX switch listens on for Telnet connections, use the following command:

CAUTION: If you change the Telnet port number from a Telnet session, MSS immediately ends the session. To open a new management session, you must Telnet to the switch with the new Telnet port number.

clear ip telnet

Managing Telnet Server Sessions
