Cisco Systems RJ-45-to-AUX manual Configuring the Telnet Time−out Value, Configuring the Hostname

The time−out value is now set to five minutes, using seconds.

Tip	You can use the lock command to lock an unused Telnet session. After you issue the lock
	command, the system will ask you to enter and verify an unlocking password.

To configure a Set/Clear command−based switch to five minutes, use the following command:

CAT5009(enable) set logout 5

To configure the time−out value to five minutes on the console port of an IOS−based route processor or router, use the following command:

5000RSM(config)# line console 0 5000RSM(config−line)# exec−timeout 5

Configuring the Telnet Time−out Value

To configure the time−out value to five minutes on the VTY port of an IOS−based route processor or router, use the following command:

5000RSM(config)# line vty 0 4 5000RSM(config−line)# exec−timeout 5

Tip To configure seconds beyond a minute, you can add an additional value to the command. For example, if you want the exec−timeout to be 5 minutes and 10 seconds, the command is exec−timeout 5 10.

Configuring the Hostname

On a Cisco IOS−based switch, configure the hostname using the following command in Global Configuration mode:

Switch (config) hostname CORIOLIS8500

CORIOLIS8500>

Configuring the Date and Time

To set the system clock on an IOS−based switch and to put it in the PST time zone, use the following command:

CORIOLIS8500(config) clock set 22:09:00 08 Oct 00

CORIOLIS8500(config) clock timezone PST −8

Configuring an IP Address and Netmask

To configure an IP address on a Cisco IOS−based switch, enter the following commands in Global Configuration mode (the IP address being used is 68.187.127.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0):

CORIOLIS8500(config) interface vlan 1

CORIOLIS8500(config−int) ip address 68.187.127.254 255.255.0.0

CORIOLIS8500(config−int) exit

Configuring a Default Route and Gateway

To configure the default route for data routing out of the subnet or VLAN, enter the following commands (the address of the local router is 68.187.127.1):

CORIOLIS8500(config) ip default−gateway 68.187.127.1

CORIOLIS8500(config) end
