• The switch is capable of verifying that a specified user is only connected to the product a
configurable number of times (see "set system login simultaneous-logins" on page 5-6). Any
attempt for a specified user to exceed the configured limit results in a trap.
For example, if simultaneous logins is set to 1, a specific user would not be able to Telnet to the
switch, and then simultaneously try to SSH to the switch or access local management via the
console port.
• All settings are persistent and show up as part of the running configuration. Passwords are
not displayed in clear text.
