Configuring Telnet Service for Remote Access to a Switch
Telnet provides unencrypted access to network devices. Configuring Telnet service for a switch enables in-band remote access to the switch.
By default, the switch supports a limited number of simultaneous Telnet sessions and connection attempts per minute. Optionally, you can change the default Telnet settings by configuring the connection limit and rate limit at the [edit system services telnet] hierarchy level.
The connection limit is the maximum number of simultaneous connections per protocol (IPv4). The range is from 1 through 250. The default is 75.
The rate limit is the maximum number of connection attempts accepted per minute per protocol. The range is from 1 through 250. The default is 150.
To configure Telnet service:
- To specify the connection limit:[edit system services]user@switch# set telnet connection-limit connection-limit
- To specify the rate limit:[edit system services]user@switch# set telnet rate-limit rate-limit
- Check that the Telnet connection limit and rate limit
show the values you specified:[edit system services]user@switch# showtelnet {connection-limit 50;rate-limit 100;}
