2-8 User Guide for the Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice Switches, v6.1
Chapter 2
CAUTION:
Tabl e 2-3 lists the minimum, maximum, and default values for the Telnet
inactivity timer.
Avaya recommends that you not disable the inactivity timer. If the
inactivity timer is disabled and the maximum number of Telnet
sessions is open, none of them will expire. Subsequent attempts to
establish a Telnet session will fail. Additionally, idle Telnet sessions
may represent security risks.
Using the Web Agent to Configure the Switch
The switch provides an embedded HTTP server that allows you to set
switch parameters by using the Web Agent. You can use this interface for
quick and simple configuration changes.
As a more secure alternative to HTTP , you can use HTTPS. For i nformation
on using an HTTPS connection to manage the switch, see “HTTPS Using
SSLv3 or TLSv1” in Chapter 4, “Security.”
Although this manual provides detailed procedures for using the W eb Agent
to configure the switch, the CLI commands to perform the same task are
listed after each procedure. Se e Command Reference Guide for the Avaya
P580 and P882 Multiservice Switches, Software Version 6.1 for details
about these commands.
This section contains the following procedures:
■Opening the Web Agent
■Logging Out of the Web Agent
