Access Server commands, clear all lines ?

johnnyarks

Does anyone know of a command that will clear all console lines on an access server ?

instead of individually inputting
clear line 1,
clear line 2, etc and so on ...

preferably something I can put in the config upon boot, it automatically clears the lines for me ?

Hi Johnny,

Depending on how you have your homelab set up you can expire reverse telnet sessions with the help of keepalives on your access server. This will clear your lines if you terminate a reverse telnet session.

Type in the following and save it to your startup-config on your access server.

Router1# config term Router1(config)# service tcp-keepalives-in Router1(config)# service tcp-keepalives-out Router1(config)# endMore information can be found on Cisco's website:

Could also script/program it on your pc with your scripting or programming language of choice

It's pretty easy with python

Just make sure to not store passwords in our script or at least encode them
