Use the Management Services page to enable and disable the available types of management connections. By default, HTTP access is enabled.

Configuring the Idle Session Timeout

The software automatically logs users off the management interface when there is no activity for a specified period of time. The user must reauthenticate after a timeout. You can use the Idle Session Timeout page to configure the timeout period.

To configure the timeout period:

STEP 1 Click Administration > Idle Session Timeout in the navigation window. STEP 2 Specify the parameter:

HTTP Session Timeout—The inactivity timeout for HTTP sessions. The value must be in the range of 1 to 60 minutes. The default value is 10 minutes.

STEP 3 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

Login Sessions

The Login Sessions page displays active management login sessions. To display this page, click Administration > Login Sessions in the navigation window.

The page lists the following information for each user currently logged in:

ID—A system-generated ID for the login session.

User Name—Name that the user used to log in.

Connection From—IP address of the host.

Idle Time—Time that has elapsed since the last activity from this user.

Session Time—Amount of time that has elapsed since this user logged in.

Session Type—Protocol in use for the management session (HTTP).

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
