Limit Concurrent Login Sessions

Dell Networking OS enables you to limit the number of concurrent login sessions of users on VTY,

auxiliary, and console lines. You can also clear any of your existing sessions when you reach the

maximum permitted number of concurrent sessions.

By default, you can use all 10 VTY lines, one console line, and one auxiliary line. You can limit the number

of available sessions using the login concurrent-session limit command and so restrict users to

that specific number of sessions. You can optionally configure the system to provide an option to the

users to clear any of their existing sessions.

Restrictions for Limiting the Number of Concurrent Sessions

These restrictions apply for limiting the number of concurrent sessions:

• Only the system and security administrators can limit the number of concurrent sessions and enable

the clear-line option.

• Users can clear their existing sessions only if the system is configured with the login concurrent-

session clear-line enable command.
