The following table describes the fields in this screen.

Table 67 Access Control: Service Access Control

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Services

Services you may use to access the switch are listed here.

 

 

Active

Select this option for the corresponding services that you want to allow to access the

 

switch.

 

 

Service

For Telnet, SSH, FTP, HTTP or HTTPS services, you may change the default service port

Port

by typing the new port number in the Service Port field. If you change the default port

 

number then you will have to let people (who wish to use the service) know the new port

 

number for that service.

 

 

Timeout

Type how many minutes a management session (via the web configurator) can be left idle

 

before the session times out. After it times out you have to log in with your password

 

again. Very long idle timeouts may have security risks. A value greater than "0" must be

 

entered.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the switch’s run-time memory. The switch loses these

 

changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel

 

to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

25.9 Remote Management

From the Access Control screen, display the Remote Management screen as shown next.

You can specify a group of one or more “trusted computers” from which an administrator may use a service to manage the switch. Click Access Control to return to the Access Control screen.
