5.2.4Using Telnet

The telnet client is enabled on the ML1200. The ML1200 supports five simultaneous sessions on a switch: four telnet sessions and one console session. This allows many users to view, discuss, or edit changes to the ML1200. This is also useful when two remote users want to view the switch settings. The telnet client can be disabled through the command line interface by using the telnet disable command with the following syntax:

telnet <enabledisable>

Telnet can also be disabled for specific users with the useraccess command. Refer to section 1.5.8: User Management, for details.

Multiple telnet sessions started from the CLI interface or the command line are serviced by the ML1200 in a round-robin fashion (that is, one session after another). If one telnet session started from an ML1200 is downloading a file, the other windows will not be serviced until the file transfer is completed.

The following example changes the telnet access. In this case, the enable command was repeated without any effect to the switch.

ML1200# configure access

ML1200(access)## telnet enable

Access to Telnet already enabled

ML1200(access)## exit

ML1200#
