SET WEBPORT N

GET WEBPORT

Set or display the current Web port number. Changing the Web port number from the default can be used to provide an additional level of security. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed.

SET TELNETENABLE ON[OFF]

GET TELNETENABLE

Set or display the current state of telnet based access. The Ethernet network management interface will not accept any telnet requests when telnet enable is off. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed.

SET TELNETPASSWORD string

GET TELNETPASSWORD

Set or display the current telnet password. Any mix of upper/lower case letters, numerals, and/or printable symbols can be used. The password must be at least 1 char and no more than 8 chars in length. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed.

SET TELNETTIMEOUT seconds

GET TELNETTIMEOUT

Set or display the current telnet timeout in seconds. After a period of inactivity of this many seconds, the Ethernet network management interface will disconnect any current telnet session. Note that the telnet timeout cannot be disabled, it can however, be set arbitrarily large.

SET TELNETPORT N

GET TELNETPORT

Set or display the current telnet port number. Changing the telnet port number from the default can be used to provide an additional level of security. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed.

SET MONITORIP [X.X.X.X]

GET MONITORIP

Set or display the IP address of the device that the switch is to PING when using the auto switching feature. Setting this to 0.0.0.0 disables the auto switch/recovery function. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE operation is performed. If enabled, the auto switch/recovery functions will PING the monitor IP address. When the PING is not successful, the switch will auto-failover to the alternate path (A), connecting all COMMON ports to their respective A ports. When the PING is successful, the switch will auto-recover to the normal path (B), connecting all COMMON ports to their respective B ports.
