disconnecting lines...

I think this topic goes in the CCNA...... I can't seem to kill these idle connections on my 2511 AS. The connection to rtr-1811, well that router isn't even on!

here's my output....

Cisco says on that command...

Number of the line or name of the active network connection to be disconnected.

It seems like yours should work. I'd try the lines name too (Maybe tty 2)? You would think they would time out, or something. Can you boot the active connections?

Stotic

Try the command 'clear line x'

No that actually clears my terminal lines. The who command seems to be displaying VTY sessions from earlier telnet sessions and I'd like to clear the idle ones...

Nope doesn't work either. What's odd is that I just booted up the AS server so it's somehow leftover? I mean the AS was off and it seemed to retain the info.... oh well, no biggie, but I'd surely like to know from a fundamental standpoint what this is all about and why I can't remove it....

have you tried the disconnect x (x representing the number in the session)? You may have to run it a couple of times on that old 2511. I sometimes have to disconnect and then clear the line twice to avoid receiving the... "connection refused" error. HTH.

peanutnoggin

Oops... didn't see that you already did that!

The connection refused error / idle tty connections to the routers can be avoided altogether on the tty lines by configuring "no exec".

I'll have to give that a try when I get home! Thanks!

Is that command suppose to be ran under each router or just the AS?

Interesting, I'll have to try it out. I am constantly clearing my lines on the AS to reconnect....

Funny website you have there...will route for 4 food. LOL...

I see....I'm almost positive i have no exec-timeout 0 0 because well you know, I don't like to get kicked off... LOL...

So I'll give this a shot, that other guy seems to be thrilled it worked for him. haha....

If you don't disable exec on the serial lines then you get a login prompt and when the device connected to that line starts spewing out logging information then everything gets confused.

The no exec-timeout prevents the routers you're connecting to from timing out the connection.

The no exec on the access server line configuration allows outgoing connections only -- that way line noise (or the remote router's bootup process) doesn't make the AS think someone/something is trying to login on that line (meaning lots of attempts to clear the line may be required before you can sneak out a connection).

no exec-timeout and no exec are two different commands on two different routers.

The no exec-timeout prevents the routers you're connecting to from timing out the connection.

The no exec on the access server line configuration allows outgoing connections only -- that way line noise (or the remote router's bootup process or login/password prompt) doesn't make the AS think someone/something is trying to login on that line (meaning lots of attempts to clear the line may be required before you can sneak out a connection).

Thanks for the clarification, I thought they were the same thing!!!
