The Outbound Telnet Configuration page displays the current value of the outbound Telnet settings on the device. An outbound Telnet session is a Telnet session initiated from the CLI of the device to the Telnet client on a remote device.
To display this page, click System > Management Access > Outbound Telnet in the navigation menu.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Allow New Sessions | Controls whether new outbound Telnet sessions are allowed. Setting this value to Disable disallows any new outbound Telnet sessions from starting (although existing Telnet sessions are unaffected). |
Maximum Number of Sessions | The maximum number of allowed outbound Telnet sessions from the device simultaneously. |
Session Timeout | Outbound Telnet session inactivity timeout value, in minutes. An outbound Telnet session is closed automatically if there is no activity within the configured amount of time. |
If you change any of the parameters, click Submit to apply the changes to the system. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must save the configuration.
