Configuring administrative settings using the CLI

Administrative settings control the functioning of the CLI. Important administrative settings include:

•enabling Telnet access to the CLI

•enabling SSH access to the CLI (required in order to use the SREM)

•enabling SRS administration to configure the TunnelGuard SRS rules (see “Enabling TunnelGuard SRS administration using the CLI” on page 485)

•setting CLI idle timeout

To configure administrative settings for the system, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/adm

The Administrative Applications menu displays.

The Administrative Applications menu includes the following options:

/cfg/sys/adm followed by:

snmp	Accesses the SNMP menu, in order to configure
	network management of the cluster (see ).
sonmp onoff	Enables or disables support for SynOptics Network
	Management Protocol (SONMP) network topology
	information. The default is disabled (off).
clitimeout <interval>	Sets the timeout interval for user inactivity in the CLI. At
	the end of the timeout period, if there is still no activity,
	the user is automatically logged out.
	• interval is an integer that indicates the time
	interval in seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h), or
	days (d). If you do not specify a measurement unit,
	seconds is assumed. The range is 300–604800
	seconds (5 m–7 d). The default is 600 (10 m).
	Changes to the timeout value do not take effect until
	the next logon.
	When the user is automatically logged out, any
	unapplied changes are lost. Save your configuration
	changes regularly by using the global apply
	command.
