be displayed on a
screen.

Logging in through Telnet

You can Telnet to the device to remotely manage the device, or use the device as a Telnet client to Telnet
to other devices to manage them.
By default, Telnet login is disabled on the device. To log in to the device through Telnet, you must first log
in to the device through any other method, enable the Telnet server, and configure Telnet login
authentication on the device.
NOTE:
Telnet login is not supported in FIPS mode. For more information about FIPS mode, see
Configuration Guide

Configuring Telnet login on the device

Task
(Required.) Configuring login authentication:
•
Disabling authentication for Telnet login

Configuring password authentication for Telnet login

Configuring scheme authentication for Telnet login
Command
terminal type { ansi | vt100 }
screen-length screen-length
history-command max-size value
idle-timeout minutes [ seconds ]
.
Remarks
By default, the terminal display type is
ANSI.
The device supports two terminal display
types: ANSI and VT100. HP recommends
that you set the display type to VT100 on
both the device and the configuration
terminal. If either side uses the ANSI type,
a display problem such as cursor
positioning error might occur when a
command line has more than 80
characters.
By default, a screen displays 24 lines at
most.
A value of 0 disables pausing between
screens of output.
By default, the buffer saves 10 history
commands at most.
The default is 10 minutes.
If there is no interaction between the device
and the user within the idle timeout, the
system automatically terminates the user
connection on the user line.
If you set the idle timeout to 0, the session
will not be aged out.
Remarks
Configure one authentication mode as
required.
