Enabling or Disabling the Telnet Server

This procedure describes how to enable or disable the Telnet server on
the switch. You might disable the server to prevent individuals from
managing the switch with the Telnet application if you intend to use the
Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.

To enable or disable the Telnet server, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.

The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 51.

2. From the System Administration menu, type 3 to select Console

(Serial/Telnet) Configuration.

The Console (Serial/Telnet) Configuration menu is shown in
Figure 11 on page 66.

3. Type 4 to toggle Telnet Server between Enabled and Disabled.

Note

Disable Telnet access if you are using the SSH (Secure Shell) feature.
(The SSH feature is not available in all versions of the AT-S63
management software.)

4. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then

type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
