Help With Configuring Telnet Sessions
|
|
|
| Hey all. In the Cisco Companion book (pg. 271), it lists this line for setting a password to telnet sessions:
Router(config)#line vty 0 4
My question is...what is the "0" and the "4" for?
Also, the CCNA Exam Notes book (pg. 104) under "banner incoming" section says "The banner incoming command is used when a host on the network connects to the router for a reverse Telnet session."
I know what telnet is, but what is a "reverse" telnet session?
Thanks in advance.

It means "vty lines 0 through 4", i.e. you configure the first 5 vty lines in one shot.

| VTY means Virtual Terminal .It is where you arrive when you telnet to the router .So line vty 0 4 means line vty 0,line vty 1,...,line vty 4.5 in total.5 persons can telnet to the router at the same time.
Reverse telnet is when you are logged in the router and want to login in the modem attached or internal .There are some router called Access Server that have interior modems and it is useful to get in the modem console to configure them.
Hope this help.
