Syntax line {console | telnet | ssh} • console - Console terminal line. • telnet - Virtual terminal for remote console access (Telnet). • ssh - Virtual terminal for secured remote console access (SSH). Default Configuration This command has no default configuration. Command Mode Global Configuration mode User Guidelines The default authentication list for telnet and SSH is enableNetList. The enableNetList uses a single method: enable. This implies that users accessing the switch via telnet or SSH must have an enable password defined in order to access privileged mode. Alternatively, the administrator can set the telnet and ssh lists to enableList, which has the enable and none methods defined. When using line ssh authentication with a RADIUS server as the primary authentication method, be aware that the default 802.1x timeout is 45 seconds. This is the same timeout value as SSH. Thus a secondary authentication method is unlikely to be invoked due to SSH timing out and dropping the connection attempt. Examples The following example sets the telnet authentication list to enableList: console(config)#line telnet console(config-telnet)#enable authentication enableList The following example enters Line Configuration mode to configure Telnet. console(config)#line telnet console(config-line)# 1520 Line Commands
