Can someone please clarify what the "0" means in the following command line:

Router(config)line console 0

Is it similar to:

line vty 0 4

where the "0" and "4" applies to virtual teletype terminals 0 thru 4 only?
Can other values be used, for example:

Router(config)line console 2

or not?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated gang.

Thanks, Wavy

The "0" refers to the "first" console port on a router, just as the "0" in "line vty 0 4" refers to the "first" virtual terminal line. When you type "line vty 0 4" this means all FIVE vty lines (lines 0, 1, 2, 3, 4). I don't know of any routers that have more than one console port...the numbering system is just a convention: you see this cropping up in programming languages as well.

Cheers,

Deets
