enter LINE mode
By default, the terminal lines on the system are not configured and you must configure the privilege and
user access. You configure the terminal lines on the system by entering the LINE mode for each type of
terminal connection.
To enter the LINE mode to configure a terminal connection, use one of the following commands in the
CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
line aux 0 CONFIGURATION Enter the LINE mode to configure an auxiliary
terminal line.
line console 0 CONFIGURATION Enter the LINE mode for the console port.
line vty number [end-number] CONFIGURATION Enter the LINE mode to configure virtual
terminals. FTOS supports up to 10 virtual
terminals for Telnet sessions. Specify a number
from 0 to 9 for the virtual terminal.
To configure multiple virtual terminals, enter an
end number. For example, to enter and
configure virtual terminals 0 through 3, enter
line vty 0 3.
To view the current configuration for the terminal connection, enter show config in the LINE mode.
