ML1600#
Users can telnet to a remote host from the MultiLink family of switches using the following
syntax.
telnet <ipaddress> [port=<port number>]
The default port for telnet is 23.
The ML1600 will time out an idle telnet session. It may be useful to see who is currently
connected to the switch. It may also be useful for a person to remotely terminate a telnet
session. To facilitate this, the ML1600 supports the following two commands:
show session
kill session id=<session>
For example:
ML1600# user
ML1600(user)## useraccess user=peter service=telnet enable
Telnet Access Enabled.
ML1600(user)## exit
ML1600# show session
Current Sessions:
SL# Sessn Id Connection User Name User Mode
1 1 163.10.10.14 manager Manager
2 2 163.11.11.1 peter Manager
3 3 163.12.12.16 operator Operator
ML1600# kill session id=3
Session Terminated
ML1600#
In the above example, the user with username “peter” is given telnet access. Then multiple
users telnet into the switch. This is shown using the
show session command. The user
operator session is then terminated using the kill session command.
Note A maximum of four simultaneous telnet sessions are allowed at any time on the switch.
The commands in these telnet windows are executed in a round robin fashion; that is, if
one window takes a long time to finish a command, the other windows may encounter a
delay before the command is completed. For example, if one window is executing a file
download, the other windows will not be able to execute the command before the file
transfer is completed. As well, if a outbound telnet session is started from the switch
(through a telnet window) then other windows will not be able to execute a command until
the telnet session is completed.
