telnet question

kafifi13

Quick question. I'm trying to remove the VTY lines 0 4 and 5 15 on my home lab and everytime i do i get the following message:

% Can't delete last 16 VTY lines

Are these hard coded? Can i not remove all of my VTY lines and set them up from scratch? Or can this only be done if i erase the entire config which I don't want to do.

Why do you want to delete the actual lines? Why not just clear the configuration you have on them? I'm confused...why do you hate telnet? Telnet likes you!

The reason is when i first set this up i set it u with

line vty 0 4
transport input ssh

line vty 5 15
transport input ssh

then decided to change it to Telnet

I config:

line vty 0 4
transport input telnet

line vty 5 15
transport input telnet

did a show run and it displayed that i had

line vty 0 4

line vty 5 14

and

line vty 15?!?!

I thought maybe i mistyped something

now i want to go back and do transport input ssh

and i'm getting

line vty 0 3
line vty 4
line vty 5 13
line vty 14
line vty 15

I think I've seen this before and if you just reconfigure it the way you want, the lines should cluster back. I saw on a switch where someone had typed in separately:

line vty 0 4
<config>
Line vty 5
<config>
line vty 6 15
<config>

When I typed in my config like so:

line vty 0 4
<config>
line vty 5 15
<config>

When I did a show run, it came back to having lines 04 together and lines 5 15 together. I'm really not sure why you would want to have the ability to configure each different connection differently, but I guess flexibility is the name of the game?

I tried doing that and still having issues. Been looking online and can't find any info on it. Kind of weird. I even tried removing all the configs from each line. Real strange.
