2.2.4 Configuring Terminal Attributes

The following commands can be used for configuring the terminal attributes, including
enabling/disabling terminal service, disconnection upon timeout, lockable user
interface, configuring terminal screen length and history command buffer size.
Perform the following configuration in user interface view. Perform lock command in
user view.
I. Enabling/disabling terminal service
After the terminal service is disabled on a user interface, you cannot log into the switch
through the user interface. However, the user logged in through the user interface
before disabling the terminal service can continue his operation. After such user logs
out, he cannot log in again. In this case, a user can log into the switch through the user
interface only when the terminal service is enabled again.
Follow these steps to enable/disable terminal service:
Enable terminal service
Disable terminal service
By default, terminal service is enabled on all the user interfaces.
Note the following points:
For the sake of security, the undo shell command can only be used on the user
interfaces other than console user interface.
You cannot use this command on the user interface via which you log in.
You will be asked to confirm before using undo shell on any legal user interface.
II. Configuring idle-timeout
Follow these steps to configure idle-timeout:
Configure idle-timeout
Restore the default idle-timeout
By default, idle-timeout is enabled and set to 10 minutes on all the user interfaces. That
is, the user interface will be disconnected automatically after 10 minutes without any
operation.
idle-timeout 0 means disabling idle-timeout.
