Configuring Concurrent Session Limit
To configure concurrent session limit, follow this procedure:
Limit the number of concurrent sessions for each user.
CONFIGURATION mode
login concurrent-session limit number-of-sessions
The following example limits the permitted number of concurrent login sessions to 4.
DellEMC(config)#login concurrent-session limit 4
Enabling the System to Clear Existing Sessions
To enable the system to clear existing login sessions, follow this procedure:
Use the following command.
CONFIGURATION mode
login concurrent-session clear-line enable
NOTE: If both concurrent sessions and the maximum number of VTY lines used are the same, the next or the following
attempt will be unsuccessful and the system displays access denied message. It is not possible to attempt after clearing
one of the existing sessions as user authentication has to happen first and before clearing the existing login sessions.
During the next authentication attempt, the system does not allow any attempt to login since maximum VTY sessions
have reached and hence no clear-line option.
NOTE: If the maximum number of VTY lines are more than the concurrent sessions and the same user is attempting to
login second time or more, the system displays the Maximum concurrent sessions for the user reached
message. You are allowed to clear the existing session and login. If you do not want to clear any of the existing session,
the system does not allow any attempt to login since maximum concurrent sessions have reached even though more
VTY lines are available. You are allowed to login as a different user as more VTY lines are available.
The following example enables you to clear your existing login sessions.
DellEMC(config)#login concurrent-session clear-line enable
Example of Clearing Existing Sessions
