Use the MAXREQSESS parameter statement to limit the number of session requests received by Telnet in a 10-second period. For this parameter, a BIND received by Telnet defines a session request. If the number of BINDs received in a 10-second period exceeds the limit, the connection is dropped and an error is reported.
Telnet is initialized with a MAXREQSESS value of 20.
The MAXREQSESS statement can be coded in the TELNETGLOBALS, TELNETPARMS, or PARMSGROUP statement blocks. See Rules for Telnet parameter statements and security parameters for more information about the hierarchy of parameter values.
