Configuring the Console Port
Use the System > Console menu to configure connection parameters for the
switch’s console port. You can access the onboard configuration program by
attaching a VT100 compatible device to the switch’s serial console port.
Management access through the console port is controlled by various parameters,
including a password (only configurable through the CLI), time outs, and basic
communication settings. Note that these parameters can be configured via the
web or CLI interface.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed:
◆ Login Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits for a user to log into
the CLI. If a login attempt is not detected within the timeout interval, the
connection is terminated for the session. (Range: 10-300 seconds;
Default: 300 seconds)
◆ Exec Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits until user input is
detected. If user input is not detected within the timeout interval, the current
session is terminated. (Range: 60-65535 seconds; Default: 600 seconds)
