sends a message to the denied Telnet client. You can optionally suppress the rejection message.
When you enable the option, a denied Telnet client does not receive a message from the Brocade
device. Instead, the denied client simply does not gain access.
To suppress the connection rejection message, use the following CLI method.
To suppress the connection rejection message sent by the device to a denied Telnet client, enter
