How do I telnet to a specific VTY line
Nick James Clarke
line..eg: telnet 192.168.1.10 VTY 2....so that i can give different
passsword
to different line...

you can't.
if you have 5 vty lines (0-4), they fill up in the order of incoming
telnet sessions
0 will be first, then 1, then 2...etc etc
if someone telnets and they get vty 0, but they log out before your telnet
session, you will then get vty 0

Telnet requires a password check. Different hardware platforms have
different numbers
of vty lines defined. The range 0 through 4 is used to specify five vty
lines. These
five incoming Telnet sessions can be simultaneous. The same password can be
used for
all lines, or one line can be set uniquely. This often is used in large
networks with many
network administrators. If a catastrophic problem occurs on a network and
all common
vty lines are used, the one unique line can be reserved for recovery.
so how do i connect to the unique line
thanks nick

You configure one vty diffrently from the others to ensure no one can get to
it but you. You do not
specify the line, you merely insure the availability of at least one line.

I think this is indeed in one of the Wendell Odom books, but can't find the
reference right now.

and how you would distinguish which vty is in use? (which password to
use?)
best guest - configure 2 sets of vty with different ACLs

You would try the first one first, if that failed, the second.

HaHaHa - you got me on that one. How could I possibly miss THAT
ok, here comes some doubts ;-)
in a company with the amount of network admins >=1 there is a BIG
chance of people knowing ONLY the first OR the second, or more likely
scenario with TACACS/RADIUS in place. Besides AFAIK you are not going
to jump from ASSIGNED to your session vty just because you put a wrong
password.
The point is - on a normal day you could end up on EMERGENCY vty (if
ACL are not in place) just because the other vtys were busy.
The poster have asked how to RESERVE a vty from being used by regular
activity. My opinion - only by using a dedicated (emergency) management
terminal with an ACL.

Yep, I'd agree with that. ACL pointing to s specific host using that
"access-class" command. To check which vty lines are busy, that's "show
sessions".
