Setting Timeout For Exec Privilege Mode; Using Telnet To Get To Another Network Device - Dell S4048–ON Configuration Manual

Setting Timeout for EXEC Privilege Mode

EXEC timeout is a basic security feature that returns Dell Networking OS to EXEC mode after a period of inactivity on the terminal lines.
To set timeout, use the following commands.
• Set the number of minutes and seconds. The default is 10 minutes on the console and 30 minutes on VTY. Disable EXEC time out
by setting the timeout period to 0.
LINE mode
exec-timeout minutes [seconds]
• Return to the default timeout values.
LINE mode
no exec-timeout
Example of Setting the Timeout Period for EXEC Privilege Mode
The following example shows how to set the timeout period and how to view the configuration using the show config command from
LINE mode.
Dell(conf)#line con 0
Dell(config-line-console)#exec-timeout 0
Dell(config-line-console)#show config
line console 0
exec-timeout 0 0
Dell(config-line-console)#

Using Telnet to get to Another Network Device

To telnet to another device, use the following commands.
NOTE: The device allows 120 Telnet sessions per minute, allowing the login and logout of 10 Telnet sessions, 12 times in a minute.
If the system reaches this non-practical limit, the Telnet service is stopped for 10 minutes. You can use console and SSH service
to access the system during downtime.
• Telnet to a device with an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
EXEC Privilege
telnet [ip-address]
If you do not enter an IP address, Dell Networking OS enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one.
Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is supported.
