Terminal Configuration
4.2.1. VTY Configuration Introduction
The system uses the line command to configure terminal parameters. Through the command, you can
configure the width and height that the terminal displays.
4.2.2. Configuration Task
The system has four types of lines: console, aid, asynchronous and virtual terminal. Different systems have
different numbers of lines of these types. Refer to the following software and hardware configuration guide for
the proper configuration.
Line Type Interface Description Numbering
CON (CTY) Console To log in to the system for configuration. 0
VTY
Virtual and
asynchronous
To connect Telnet, X.25 PAD, HTTP and
Rlogin of synchronous ports (such as
Ethernet and serial port) on the system
32 numbers starting
from 1
4.2.2.1. Relationship between line and interface
a) Relationship between synchronous interface and VTY line
The virtual terminal line provides a synchronous interface to access to the system. When you connect to the
system through VTY line, you actually connect to a virtual port on an interface. For each synchronous
interface, there can be many virtual ports.
For example, if several Telnets are connecting to an interface (Ethernet or serial interface), you need to do the
following steps for the VTY configuration:
(1) Log in to the line configuration mode.
(2) Configure the terminal parameters.
For VTY configuration, refer to Part 4.2.4 “VTY configuration example”.
4.2.3. Monitoring and Maintenance
Run showline to chek the VTY configuration.
4.2.4. Browsing Logs
By default, the system will export the logs to the console port. After the terminal monitor command is set on
the telnet line, the logs will be exported to this line.
