Engineering Journal 6.5.7: Configuring command-line access to the router

Use the following steps to configure some parameters that control access to the router, including the type of terminal line used with the router, how long the router waits for a user entry before it times out, and the password used to start a terminal session with the router:

Step 1 Specify the console terminal line:

1600(config)# line console 0

Step 2 Set the interval so that the EXEC command interpreter waits until user input is detected:

1600(config-line)# exec-timeout 5

Step 3 Specify a virtual terminal for remote console access:

1600(config-line)# line vty 0 4

Step 4 Specify a password:

1600(config-line)# password lineaccess

Step 5 Enable password checking at terminal session login:

1600(config-line)# login

Step 6 Exit configuration mode:

1600(config-line)# end
