Controlling access to the CLI

If you have read/write/all access authority, you can use Device Manager to change the passwords for access to the CLI through a console or Telnet session. If you do not have read/write/all privileges, the user name and password fields will be blank.

The CLI tab allows you to specify the number of allowed Telnet sessions and rlogin sessions. To prohibit Telnet or rlogin access to the switch, specify zero (0) as the number of allowed sessions.

To change passwords for access to the CLI:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Edit > Security.
  2. The Security dialog box opens with the Access Policies tab displayed.
  3. Click the CLI tab.
  4. The CLI tab opens.
