Enabling/disabling terminal service
After the terminal service is disabled on a user interface, you cannot log in to 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 in to the
switch through the user interface only when the terminal service is enabled again.
