After the changes are completed for each section, click OK to register the changes.
Note that if the IP address is changed, the
http
session has to be restarted with the new IP
address.
5.2.4 Using Telnet
The telnet client is enabled on the ML1600. The ML1600 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 ML1600. This is also useful when two remote users
want to view the switch settings. The telnet client can be disabled through the command
line interface by using the
telnet disable command with the following syntax:
telnet <enable|disable>
Telnet can also be disabled for specific users with the useraccess command. Refer to
User MGMNT on page 1–12 for details.
Multiple telnet sessions started from the CLI interface or the command line are serviced by
the ML1600 in a round-robin fashion (that is, one session after another). If one telnet
session started from an ML1600 is downloading a file, the other windows will not be
serviced until the file transfer is completed.
The following example changes the telnet access. In this case, the enable command was
repeated without any effect to the switch.
ML1600# configure access
ML1600(access)## telnet enable
Access to Telnet already enabled
ML1600(access)## exit
ML1600#
The show console command can show the status of the telnet client as well as other
console parameters. The following example reviews the console parameters with the show
console command. Note that telnet is enabled.
ML1600#
show console
