Usage guidelines
This command is an older version reserved for backward compatibility purposes. As a best practice,
use the line class command.
To configure the same settings for all user lines of a line class, you can use this command to enter
the user line class view.
Some login management commands are available in both user line view and user line class view. For
these commands, the device uses the following rules to determine the settings to be activated:
•
A setting in user line view is applied only to the user line. A setting in user line class view is
applied to all user lines of the class.
•
A non-default setting in either view takes precedence over a default setting in the other view. A
non-default setting in user line view takes precedence over a non-default setting in user line
class view.
•
A setting in user line view takes effect immediately and affects the online user. A setting in user
line class view takes effect only for new login users. It does not affect online users.
Examples
# Set the CLI connection idle-timeout timer to 15 minutes in VTY line class view.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] user-interface class vty
[Sysname-line-class-vty] idle-timeout 15
# In AUX line class view, configure character s as the shortcut key for starting a terminal session.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] user-interface class aux
[Sysname-line-class-aux] activation-key s
[Sysname-line-class-aux] quit
# In AUX line view, restore the default shortcut key for starting a terminal session.
[Sysname] line aux 0
[Sysname-line-aux0] undo activation-key
Alternatively:
[Sysname-line-aux0] activation-key 13
To verify the configuration:
1.
Exit the console session.
[Sysname-line-aux0] return
<Sysname> quit
2.
Log in again through the AUX line.
The following message appears:
Press ENTER to get started.
3.
Press Enter.
Pressing Enter does not start a session.
4.
