Synopsis

line [line-type] line-number[end-line-number]

Description

This command enters the line configuration mode. Valid line-types are aux, console, tty, or vty. If no line-type is given, the line-number is treated as an absolute line number. (See the results of a show line to see absolute line numbers.)

The line-number is the number of the first line you want to configure. The end-line-number is the last line you want to configure. If you want to configure only a single line, omit end-line-number.

Example

The following commands set the password on lines 0 through 4, inclusive, and then set the connection speed on line 5.

! change the password on vty 0 4 to vtyin
line vty 0 4
  password vtyin
! Change the speed on tty 5
line tty 5
  speed 38400
