Configuring Telnet Settings
Figure 21: Console Port Settings
Use the System > Telnet menu to configure parameters for accessing the CLI over a
Telnet connection. You can access the onboard configuration program over the
network using Telnet (i.e., a virtual terminal). Management access via Telnet can be
enabled/disabled and other parameters set, including the TCP port number, time
outs, and a password. Note that the password is only configurable through the CLI.)
These parameters can be configured via the web or CLI interface.
