Line Template Guidelines - Cisco NCS 6000 Series Configuration Manual

Implementing Physical and Virtual Terminals
• session-limit—Specifies the allowable number of outgoing connections.
• session-timeout—Specifies an interval for closing the connection if there is no input traffic.
• timestamp—Displays the timestamp before each command.
• width—Specifies the width of the display terminal.

Line Template Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to modifying the console template and to configuring a user-defined template:
• Modify the templates for the physical terminal lines on the router (the console port) from line template
• Modify the template for virtual lines by configuring a user-defined template with the line template-name
Attributes not defined in the console template, or any virtual template, are taken from the default template.
The default settings for the default template are described for all commands in line template configuration
mode in the Terminal Services Commands on module in System Management Command Reference for
Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers.
Note Before creating or modifying the vty pools, enable the telnet server using the telnet server command in
XR Config mode. See IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers
and IP Addresses and Services Command Reference for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers for more
information.
Terminal Identification
The physical terminal lines for the console port is identified by its location, expressed in the format of
rack/slot/module , on the active or standby route processor (RP) where the respective console port resides.
For virtual terminals, physical location is not applicable; the Cisco IOS XR software assigns a vty identifier
to vtys according to the order in which the vty connection has been established.
vty Pools
Each virtual line is a member of a pool of connections using a common line template configuration. Multiple
vty pools may exist, each containing a defined number of vtys as configured in the vty pool. The Cisco IOS XR
software supports the following vty pools by default:
• Default vty pool—The default vty pool consists of five vtys (vtys 0 through 4) that each reference the
• Default fault manager pool—The default fault manager pool consists of six vtys (vtys 100 through 105)
