Terminal Characteristics Commands for Dial Sessions

Terminal Characteristics Commands for Dial Sessions

This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax for the commands for setting operating characteristics for remote terminal service connections. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Dial Solutions Command Reference.

absolute-timeout

To set the interval for closing the connection, use the absolute-timeout line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default.

absolute-timeout minutes
no absolute-timeout

minutes

The number of minutes after which the user's session will be terminated.


editing

To enable enhanced editing mode for a particular line, use the editing line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable the enhanced editing mode.

editing
no editing

login (line)

To enable password checking at login, use the login line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable password checking and allow connections without a password.

login [local | tacacs]
no login

local

(Optional) Selects local password checking. Authentication is based on the username specified with the username global configuration command.

tacacs

(Optional) Selects the Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS)-style user ID and password-checking mechanism.


login authentication

To enable AAA authentication for logins, use the login authentication line configuration command. Use the no form of the command to return to the default.

login authentication {default | list-name}
no login authentication [default | list-name]

default

Uses the default list created with the aaa authentication login command.

list-name

Use an authentication list with this name


password

To specify a password on a line, use the password line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove the password.

password password
no password

password

Character string that specifies the line password. The first character cannot be a number. The string can contain any alphanumeric characters, including spaces, up to 80 characters. You cannot specify the password in the format number-space-anything. The space after the number causes problems. For example, hello 21 is a legal password, but 21 hello is not. The password checking is case sensitive. For example, the password Secret is different than the password secret.


rxspeed

To set the terminal receive speed (how fast the terminal receives information from the modem), use the rxspeed line configuration command.

rxspeed bps

bps

Baud rate in bits per second (bps).


session-limit

To set the maximum number of terminal sessions per line, use the session-limit line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove any specified session limit.

session-limit session-number
no session-limit

session-number

Specifies the maximum number of sessions.


session-timeout

To set the interval for closing the connection when there is no input or output traffic, use the session-timeout line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove the timeout definition.

session-timeout minutes [output]
no session-timeout

minutes

Specifies the timeout interval in minutes.

output

(Optional) Specifies that when traffic is sent to an asynchronous line from the router (within the specified interval), the connection is retained.


show terminal

To obtain information about the terminal configuration parameter settings for the current terminal line, use the show terminal EXEC command.

show terminal

speed

To set the terminal baud rate, use the speed line configuration command. This command sets both the transmit (to terminal) and receive (from terminal) speeds.

speed bps

bps

Baud rate in bits per second (bps). The default is 9600 bps.

start-character

To set the flow control start character, use the start-character line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to remove the character.

start-character ascii-number
no start-character

ascii-number

Decimal representation of the start character.


transport input

To define which protocols to use to connect to a specific line of the router, use the transport input line configuration command.

transport input {all | lat | mop | nasi | none | pad | rlogin | telnet | v120}

all

Selects all protocols. Restores the default configuration.

lat

Selects the Digital LAT protocol and specifies both incoming reverse LAT and host-initiated connections.

mop

Selects Maintenance Operation Protocol (MOP).

nasi

Select NetWare Access Servers Interface (NASI) as the input transport protocol.

none

Prevents any protocol selection on the line. This makes the port unusable by incoming connections.

pad

Selects X.3 PAD incoming connections.

rlogin

Selects the UNIX rlogin protocol.

telnet

Specifies all types of incoming TCP/IP connections.

v120

Select the V.120 protocol for incoming async over ISDN connections.


transport output

To determine the protocols that can be used for outgoing connections from a line, use the transport output line configuration command.

transport output {all | lat | mop | nasi | none | pad | rlogin | telnet | v120}

all

Selects all protocols.

lat

Selects the Digital LAT protocol, which is the protocol used most often to connect routers to Digital hosts.

mop

Selects Maintenance Operation Protocol (MOP).

nasi

Select NetWare Access Server Interface (NASI) as the output transport protocol.

none

Prevents any protocol selection on the line. The system normally assumes that any unrecognized command is a host name. If the protocol is set to none, the system no longer makes that assumption. No connection will be attempted if the command is not recognized.

pad

Selects X.3 PAD, used most often to connect routers to X.25 hosts.

rlogin

Selects the UNIX rlogin protocol for TCP connections. The rlogin setting is a special case of Telnet. If an rlogin attempt to a particular host has failed, the failure will be tracked, and subsequent connection attempts will use Telnet instead.

telnet

Selects the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. It allows a user at one site to establish a TCP connection to a login server at another site.

v120

Select the V.120 protocol for outgoing asynchronous over ISDN connections.


transport preferred

To specify the transport protocol that the Cisco IOS software uses if the user does not specify one when initiating a connection, use the transport preferred line configuration command.

transport preferred {all | lat | mop | nasi | none | pad | rlogin | telnet | v120}

all

Specifies all recognized protocols.

lat

Selects the Digital LAT protocol, which is the protocol used most often to connect routers to Digital hosts.

mop

Specifies the Maintenance Operation Protocol (MOP).

nasi

Specifies the NetWare Access Server Interface (NASI) protocol.

none

Prevents any protocol selection on the line. The system normally assumes that any unrecognized command is a host name. If the protocol is set to none, the system no longer makes that assumption. No connection is attempted if the command is not recognized.

pad

Selects X.3 PAD, used most often to connect routers to X.25 hosts.

rlogin

Selects the UNIX rlogin protocol for TCP connections. The rlogin setting is part of the Telnet protocol. If an rlogin attempt to a particular host fails, the failure is tracked, and subsequent connection attempts will use Telnet instead.

telnet

Selects the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. It allows a user at one site to establish a TCP connection to a login server at another site.

v120

Specifies asynchronous protocols over ISDN.


txspeed

To set the terminal transmit speed (how fast the terminal sends information to the modem), use the txspeed line configuration command.

txspeed bps

bps

Baud rate in bits per second (bps).
