Telnet Server Connection

The Telnet server is enabled by default on a Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch. If you require a secure SSH connection, you need to disable the default Telnet connection and then enable the SSH connection. (See the “Enabling SSH Service” section on page 9-9 .)

Tip A maximum of nine Telnet sessions are allowed on a Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch.

Make sure the terminal is connected to the switch and that the switch and terminal are both powered on.

Working with Configuration Files

Configuration files can contain some or all of the commands needed to configure one or more switches. For example, you might want to download the same configuration file to several switches that have the same hardware configuration so that they have identical module and port configurations.

This section describes how to work with configuration files and has the following topics:

Displaying Configuration Files, page 3-17
