Disable the Telnet or SSH Menu Item

If the NNMi users in your deployment environment do not require telnet or SSH connections from the NNMi console, you can disable the respective menu item to remove it from the NNMi console.

Disabling a menu item in the NNMi console applies to all users who log on to the NNMi console on this NNMi management server. To disable the Telnet or Secure Shell menu item, follow these steps:

  1. In the Configuration workspace, expand User Interface, and then elect Menu Items.
  2. In the Menu Items view, select the Telnet... (from Client) row or the Secure Shell... (from client) row, and then click the  Open icon.
  3. On the Menu Item form, clear the Enabled check box, and then set the Author field to an appropriate value.

    Changing the author value ensures that this menu item remains disabled when you upgrade NNMi.

  4. Save and close the form.
