Chapter 36 Access Control

The following table describes the fields in this screen.

Table 121 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 Port

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

 

port by typing the new port number in the Server 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.

 

 

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.

session if it does not match.
