Changing the boot mode of the switch
Using Telnet
By default, the telnet client is enabled on the GarrettCom Magnum 6K family of switches.
MNS-6K supports five simultaneous sessions on a switch – four telnet sessions and one
console session. This allows many users to view, discuss or edit changes to the MNS-6K.
This also becomes useful as two remote people want to view the commands and other
settings on the switch. The telnet client can be disabled by using the
“telnet disable”
command. Telnet can also be disabled for a specific user by using the
“useraccess”
command discussed in
Chapter 2
.
Multiple telnet sessions started from the CLI interface or the command line are serviced
by MNS-6K in a round robin fashion – i.e. one session after another. If one telnet session
started from MNS-6K interface is downloading a file, the other windows will not be
serviced till the file transfer is completed.
Syntax
telnet <enable|disable>
Magnum6K25#
configure access
Magnum6K25(access)##
telnet enable
Access to Telnet already enabled
Magnum6K25(access)##
exit
