Making Window Size Negotiation Available for a Telnet
Session
When a telnet connection is established with a switch, the switch always uses
the default values of 80 columns by 24 lines for the window dimensions. The
window can be resized by either dragging the corner of the window, or by
executing the terminal length <x> width <y> CLI command and then configuring
the telnet client with those dimensions. The new window dimensions are lost
after that telnet session ends.
When the telnet connection is established with an HP ProCurve switch, either
the switch or the telnet client needs to initiate the inquiry about the availability
of NAWS. If NAWS is available, you can resize the window by dragging the
corner of the window to the desired size. The telnet software uses NAWS to
tell the switch what the new window dimensions are. If the switch supports
the requested window dimensions, it uses them for all future interactions. If
the switch does not support those window dimensions, it refuses them and
the telnet client requests an alternate set of window dimensions. The negoti­
ation continues until the telnet client and the switch agree on the window
dimensions.
