ONFIGURATION

By default, an asynchronous port supports 1 stop bit.

Note that setting 1.5 stop bits is not available on Switch 8800 Family series at 
present.

By default, an asynchronous port supports 8 data bits.

The following commands can be used for configuring the terminal attributes, 
including enabling/disabling terminal service, disconnection upon timeout, 
lockable user interface, configuring terminal screen length and history command 
buffer size.

Perform the following configuration in user interface view. Perform lock 
command in user view.

After the terminal service is disabled on a user interface, you cannot log in to the 
switch through the user interface. However, the user logged in through the user 
interface before disabling the terminal service can continue his operation. After 
such user logs out, he cannot log in again. In this case, a user can log in to the 
switch through the user interface only when the terminal service is enabled again.

By default, terminal service is enabled on all the user interfaces.

Note the following points:

■

For the sake of security, the undo shell command can only be used on the user 
interfaces other than Console user interface.

■

You cannot use this command on the user interface via which you log in.

■

You will be asked to confirm before using undo shell on any legal user 
interface.
