Line Configuration Mode

In this mode, you can modify the operation of a virtual terminal (vty) line.

From Global Configuration mode, type the line vty command and either the lineNumber or the rangeOfLineNumbers you want to configure, and press Enter.

Note: The factory default is 5 vty lines. However, you can increase the number of vty lines available by typing the start number and end number of the vty line range. Once you execute the line vty command, you will have access to line numbers up to the ending line number.
