Describes the implementation of physical console ports and virtual terminal lines (vtys) using line templates and vty pools to manage attribute settings for network device access in Cisco IOS XR.
Line templates define standard attribute settings for incoming and outgoing transport over physical and virtual terminal lines (vtys). Vty pools are used to apply template settings to ranges of vtys.
This module describes the tasks you need to implement physical and virtual terminals on your Cisco IOS XR network.
Physical terminal lines
Use this concept to understand how physical terminal lines identify and enable access to device console ports based on specific hardware location within a system.
Virtual terminals
This section explains virtual terminals, which enable remote access and administration of the network device.
Line templates
This section explains line templates, which simplify the configuration and management of multiple terminal lines in Cisco IOS XR software.
Configure the physical and virtual terminals
Use this task to modify the terminal attributes for the console and default line templates.
