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 (between 1 and 255) 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 back to the switch.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

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.
