Escape fromTerminal Sessions and Switch to Other Connections
After you have started a connection, you can escape out of the current terminal session by using the escape key sequence (Ctrl-Shift-6 then X by default). You can type the command character as you hold down the Ctrl key or with the Ctrl key released; you can type either uppercase or lowercase letters.
Note
By default, the escape key sequence is Ctrl-Shift-6, X. However, the escape key sequence can be changed using the escape-character line configuration command. To determine the current setting for the escape character, use the show terminal privileged or user EXEC command.
You can have several concurrent sessions open and switch back and forth between them.
The number of sessions that can be open at one time is defined by the session-limit VDPN configuration mode command.
Banner Tokens
Banners can be customized with the use of banner tokens. Tokens are keywords in the form $(token) that, when used in a banner message, display the currently configured value of the token argument (for example, the router hostname, domain name, or IP address). Using these tokens, you can design your own banners that will display current Cisco IOS configuration variables. Only Cisco IOS supported tokens may be used. There is no facility for you to define your own tokens.
Table 8 lists the tokens supported by the different banner commands.
Exit a Session Started from a Router
The protocol used to initiate a session determines how you exit that session.To exit from SLIP and PPP connections, you must hang up the dial-in connection, usually with a command that your dial-in software supports.
To exit a local area transport (LAT), Telnet, rlogin, TN3270, or X.3 packet assembler/disassembler (PAD) session begun from the router to a remote device, press the escape key sequence (Ctrl-Shift-6 then X [Ctrl^X] by default for some systems, Ctrl-Z by default for other systems) and enter the disconnect command at the EXEC prompt. You can also log out of the remote system.
You can use either the exit or logout command in EXEC mode to terminate an active terminal session.
To exit a Telnet session to a router, see the "Log Out of a Router" section.
Log Out of a Router
The method you use to logout from or disconnect from a router depends on where you are located in relation to the router, and the port on the router to which you log in.
If your terminal or computer running a terminal-emulation application is remotely connected to the console port of the router, you disconnect by issuing the command or key sequence used by your terminal-emulation package. For example, if you are on a Macintosh computer running the application TCP/Connect from InterCon Corporation, you would press Ctrl-] at the user or privileged EXEC prompt to disconnect.
If you are on a remote terminal and connect to a vty through a synchronous interface on the router, you can issue one of the following commands in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode to log out:
•

Create Menus
A menu is a displayed list of actions from which a user can select without needing to know anything about the underlying command-level details. A menu system (also known as a user menu) effectively controls the functions a user can access. Figure 6 illustrates the parts that make up a typical menu.
Figure 6 Typical Menu Example
Any user that can enter configuration mode can create menus. Remember the following guidelines when you create menus:
•
•
•
•
•
The exec-timeout line configuration command can be used to close and clean up an idle menu; the session-timeout command can be used to clean up a menu with an open connection.
Enable or Disable the Display of Banners
You can control display of the MOTD and line-activation (EXEC) banners. By default, these banners are displayed on all lines. To enable or disable the display of such banners, use the following commands in line configuration mode, as needed:
•
•
•
•
These commands determine whether the router will display the EXEC banner and the MOTD banner when an EXEC session is created. These banners are defined with the banner motd and banner exec global configuration commands. By default, the MOTD banner and the EXEC banner are enabled on all lines.
Disable the EXEC and MOTD banners using the no exec-banner command.
The MOTD banners can also be disabled by the no motd-banner line configuration command, which disables MOTD banners on a line. If the no exec-banner command is configured on a line, the MOTD banner will be disabled regardless of whether the motd-banner command is enabled or disabled. Table 9 summarizes the effects of the combination of the exec-banner command and the motd-banner command.
Table 9 Banners Displayed by exec-banner and motd-banner Command Combinations

None
For reverse Telnet connections, the EXEC banner is never displayed. Instead, the incoming banner is displayed. The MOTD banner is displayed by default, but it is disabled if either the no exec-banner command or no motd-banner command is configured. Table 10 summarizes the effects of the combination of the exec-banner command and the motd-banner command for reverse Telnet connections.

Changing a Login Username
You can change your login username if you must match outgoing access list requirements or other login prompt requirements. A login server must be running and available to use this command. To change a login username, complete the task in this section:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
DETAILED STEPS
Examples
In this example, assume that a user logged in as user1 needs to change the login name to user2:
Router> loginUsername: user2Password: <letmein>Router>In this example, the password letmein is the same password used at the initial login. (The angle brackets in the example indicate that the password is not displayed on the screen when entered.) At the second
Router>prompt, the user is now logged in as user2.Troubleshooting Tips
If no username and password prompts appear, the network administrator did not specify that a username and password be required at login time. If both the username and password are entered correctly, the session becomes associated with the specified username.
Accessing a System with TACACS Security
To access a system with TACACS security, enter your login name or specify a TACACS server by using the user@tacacs-server syntax when the "Username:" prompt appears, complete the tasks in this section:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.

3.
DETAILED STEPS
Examples
In the following example, user2 specifies the TACACS host host1 to authenticate the password:
Router> login
Username: user2@host1
Translating "HOST1"...domain server (131.108.1.111) [OK]
Password: <letmein2>
Troubleshooting Tips
Only the specified host (tacacs-server) is accessed for user authentication information.
If you do not specify a host, the router tries each of the TACACS servers in the list until it receives a response. If you specify a host that does not respond, no other TACACS server will be queried. The router either will deny access or it will function, according to the action specified by the tacacs-server last-resort global configuration command, if it is configured. If you specified a TACACS server host with the user@tacacs-server argument, the TACACS server specified is used for all subsequent authentication or notification queries, with the possible exception of Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) address queries.
For more information on configuring TACACS, refer to the tacacs-server host global configuration command in the "TACACS, Extended TACACS, and TACACS+ Commands" chapter of the Cisco IOS Security Command Reference.
For an example of changing a login name, see the "Example: Changing a Login Username and Password" section.
Locking Access to a Terminal
To lock access to your terminal session while keeping your connection open by setting a temporary password, complete the tasks in this section.
Restrictions
For this temporary locking feature to work, the line must first be configured to allow locking (using the lockable line-configuration mode command).
Step 1
When you issue this command, the system will prompt you for a password.
Step 2
Step 3
The Cisco IOS software honors session timeouts on locked lines. You must clear the line to remove this feature.
Examples
The following is an example of the prompts displayed after the lock command is entered. Note that the entered password does not appear on screen.

Troubleshooting Tips
Commands requiring a delimiting character (the d argument) are used throughout this chapter. Any character can be used as the delimiting character, but we recommend the use of the quote sign ("), because this character is unlikely to be needed within the message itself. Other commonly used delimiting characters include the percent sign (%) or the forward slash (/), but because these characters have meanings within certain Cisco IOS commands, they are not recommended. For example, to set the vacant message to
This terminal is idleyou would enter the command vacant-message " This terminal is idle ".Configuring a "Line in Use" Message

The following example shows the command used to create the title for the menu shown in Figure 6:
Router(config)# menu OnRamp title %^[[H^[[JEnter TEXT message. End with the character '%'.Welcome to OnRamp Internet ServicesType a number to select an option;Type 9 to exit the menu.%Router(config)#You can position the title of the menu horizontally by preceding the title text with blank characters. You can also add lines of space above and below the title by pressing Enter.
In this example, the title text consists of the following elements:
•
•
•
Title text must be enclosed within text delimiter characters—the percent sign character (%) in this example. Title text delimiters are characters that do not ordinarily appear within the text of a title, such as slash (/), double quote ("), or tilde (~). You can use any character that is not likely to be used within the text of the title as delimiter characters. Ctrl-C is reserved for special use and should not be used in the text of the title.
This title text example also includes an escape character sequence to clear the screen before displaying the menu. In this case the string
^[[H^[[Jis an escape string used by many VT100-compatible terminals to clear the screen. To enter it, you must enter Ctrl-V before each escape character (^[).Clearing the Screen

Specifying the Menu Item Text
Each displayed menu entry consists of the selection key (number, letter, or string) and the text describing the action to be performed. You can specify descriptive text for a maximum number of 18 menu items. Because each menu entry represents a single user interface command, you must specify the menu item text one entry at a time. To specify the menu item text, complete the tasks in this section:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
2.

DETAILED STEPS
Examples
The following example specifies the text that is displayed for the three entries in the OnRamp menu:
Router(config)# menu OnRamp text 1 Read emailRouter(config)# menu OnRamp text 2 UNIX Internet AccessRouter(config)# menu OnRamp text 9 Exit menu systemYou can provide access to context-sensitive help by creating a "help server" host and using a menu entry to make a connection to that host.
Troubleshooting Tips
Menu selection keys need not be contiguous. You can provide consistency across menus by assigning a particular number, letter, or string to a special function—such as Help or Exit—regardless of the number of menu entries in a given menu. For example, menu entry H could be reserved for help across all menus.
When more than nine menu items are defined in a menu, the menu line-mode and menu single-space global configuration commands are activated automatically. The commands can be configured explicitly for menus of nine items or fewer. For more information on these commands, see the section "Specifying Menu Display Configuration Options" later in this chapter.
Specifying the Underlying Command for the Menu Item
Each displayed menu entry issues a user interface command when the user enters its key. Each menu entry can have only a single command associated with it. To specify the underlying menu item command, complete the tasks in this section:
SUMMARY STEPS

Examples
The following example specifies the commands that are associated with the three entries in the OnRamp menu:
Router(config)# menu OnRamp command 1 rlogin mailsysRouter(config)# menu OnRamp command 2 rlogin unix.cisco.comRouter(config)# menu OnRamp command 9 menu-exitTroubleshooting Tips
The menu-exit command is available only from within menus. This command provides a way to return to a higher-level menu or to exit the menu system.
When a menu item allows you to make a connection, the menu item should also contain entries that can be used to resume connections; otherwise, when you try to escape from a connection and return to the menu, there is no way to resume the session. It will sit idle until you log out.
You can build the resume connection user EXEC command into a menu entry so that the user can resume a connection, or you can configure the line using the escape-char none command to prevent users from escaping their sessions.
Specifying Connection Resumption
To specify connection resumption as part of the menu item command, complete the tasks in this section:
SUMMARY STEPS

Example: Changing a Login Username and Password
The following example shows how login usernames and passwords can be changed. In this example, a user currently logged in under the username user1 attempts to change that login name to user2. After entering the login command, the user enters the new username, but enters an incorrect password. Because the password does not match the original password, the system rejects the attempt to change the username.
Router> loginUsername: user2Password:% Access deniedStill logged in as "user1"Next, the user attempts the login change again, with the username user2, but enters the correct (original) password. This time the password matches the current login information, the login username is changed to user2, and the user is allowed access to the user login information.
Router> loginUsername: user2Password:Router>Example: Sending Messages to Other Terminals
The following example shows the process of sending a message to all terminal connections on the router:

The following example shows how to use the banner global configuration commands to notify your users that the server will be reloaded with new software. The no exec-banner line configuration command is used to disable EXEC banners and message-of-the-day banners on the vty lines.
!line vty 0 4no exec-banner!banner exec /This is Cisco Systems training group router.Unauthorized access prohibited./!banner incoming /You are connected to a Hayes-compatible modem.Enter the appropriate AT commands.Remember to reset anything you have changed before disconnecting./!banner motd /The router will go down at 6pm today for a software upgrade/When someone connects to the router, the MOTD banner appears before the login prompt. After the user logs in to the router, the router will display the EXEC banner or incoming banner, depending on the type of connection. For a reverse Telnet login, the router will display the incoming banner. For all other connections, the router will display the EXEC banner.
Example: Configuring a SLIP-PPP Banner with Banner Tokens
The following example configures the SLIP-PPP banner using several tokens and the percent sign (%) as the delimiting character:
Router(config)# banner slip-ppp %Enter TEXT message. End with the character '%'. Starting $(encap) connection from $(gate-ip) to $(peer-ip) using a maximum packet size of $(mtu) bytes... %When a user enters the slip command, that user will see the following banner.
