other methods to access the switch.

Note: Telnet provides a channel you can use to communicate with
the switch, but does not provide encryption. If you require the
security of encryption, use SSH.

before automatically terminating a telnet or SSI session. The
default is 5 (five) minutes. The maximum is 1440 minutes.
CLI version
Specifies the CLI version you want to use:
• v2: Supports version 2 of the embedded CLI. Select this option
if you are running firmware version 2.11 or earlier, or if your
existing scripts were developed using this version.
Previous firmware that shipped with a CLI (most, if not all of the
existing “200 series” of firmware) shipped with this version,
which uses the same inputs and outputs as CLI.
• v3 (default; recommended): Supports version 3 of the
embedded CLI. Select this option if you are running firmware
version 2.12 or later.

EB
X 2.12 introduces this version, which includes features
such as user maintenance, zoning, locking, and port classes.
Although it tries to be backward compatible with v2, it may not
perfectly emulate all commands, which is why v2 is also
provided.
Note: Upgraded switches default to v2 to maintain compatibility
until the administrator explicitly switches to v3.
