TELNETΒΆ
TELNET Display/Change the enabling/disabling of remote Telnet sessions.
Allows the user to display/change whether remote Telnet sessions are currently (temporarily) ENABLEd or DISABLEd. Note that this command only provides control over Telnet sessions during the current power cycle. To ‘permanently’ disable or enable Telnet sessions (i.e. across power-cycles), the user is referred to the NETWORK [TELNET=ON|OFF] command. Note that the default setting for this command at power-on is ENABLEd. The administrator is strongly advised to perform any commands affecting the system’s configuration from the CLI UART only (and not from a Telnet session), and to only perform such commands after issuing the DISABLE command, so that remote users cannot log in to the system in the middle of an administrative command.
- CLEARSTATS
- Clears the collected statistics on Telnet sessions.
- DISABLE
- Allows the user to (temporarily) disable the establishment of remote Telnet sessions during the current power cycle. Users at remote locations will be unable to start a new Telnet session until after a corresponding TELNET ENABLE command is issued. To disable the Telnet functionality completely and maintain that setting through a power-cycle, refer to the NETWORK TELNET=ON/OFF command.
- ENABLE
- Allows the user to (re-)enable the establishment of remote Telnet sessions during the current power cycle. Note that basic Telnet functionality for the system must already have been enabled with the NETWORK TELNET=ON/OFF command for this parameter to have any effect.
- KILLPARTNER[=m] [DISABLE]
- Allows the user to cancel the currently active Telnet session on the other unit in a dual configuration, where ‘m’ specifies the number of minutes to pause after notifying the remote user of the impending termination before actually cancelling the session, and DISABLE, if present, indicates that the creation of future telnet sessions should be disabled after the current session is terminated. Sessions can be re-enabled with the TELNET ENABLE command. Valid values for ‘m’ fall in the range: 0..15. An attempt is made to prompt the remote user to first complete any active CLI command, and then to logout of the telnet session. However, the remote session will be automatically cancelled within ‘m’ minutes if there is no response; ‘m’ defaults to 1 if left unspecified. If ‘m’ is 0, the remote user is notified, but the session is cancelled immediately without waiting for any response from the remote user. Note that if the remote session is KILLed while a CLI command is in progress, the rest of the command’s interaction will be transferred back to the unit’s serial CLI interface.
