Chapter 32 Introducing the Commands

"The switch automatically logs you out of the management interface after five minutes of inactivity. If this happens to you, simply log back in again.

32.2.1Access Priority

•By default, the switch allows multiple concurrent logins. However, no more than ten concurrent login sessions are allowed.

•If you use the no multi-logincommand in the configuration mode to disallow multiple concurrent logins, only one concurrent access to the CLI is allowed via either the console port or Telnet. Console port access has higher priority.

32.2.2The Console Port

Connect to the switch’s console port using a terminal emulation software configured to the following settings:

•VT100 terminal emulation

•9600 bps

•No parity

•8 data bits

•1 stop bit

•No flow control

32.2.2.1Initial Screen

When you turn on your switch, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization. You can view the initialization information using the console port. After the initialization, the login screen displays (refer to Section 32.3 on page 209).
