I'm confused of this two command

kambalpogi

Which of this two commands shows my active telnet connections?

Show sessions or show users?

What is the difference between the two commands?thanks!

I tried it on Packet tracer

Router(config)#do sh users
Line User Host(s) Idle Location
* 0 con 0 idle 00:00:00
67 vty 0 idle 00:00:06 192.168.30.100

Router#sh sessions
% No connections open

show sessions shows the active connections that you are currently connected to.
Show users shows you, if there is somebody else connected to that same router/switch.
If there is more than one vty line"vty 0 15" means 16 available telnet configuration(or ssh depend on the configuration). So there might be 16 different user connected to same device simultaneously.

Yeah Turk you were right, It's depends on configuration how much you giving the Line vty 0 ? Function! and Session is a dialogue between two devices actually, Now you have to think Do Show users is the correct command,

To display user information for yourself or one or more users on the Server Switch, enter the show user command in User Exec mode or Privileged Exec mode.
