Cisco 881 number of vty lines

[sumit mehta]

I have a Cisco881-k9 model router and the problem i am facing is with the number of vty lines it just shows 5 vty lines(i.e 0 to 4) to be configured .

When i try and configure the line vty 5 it says invalid input . Is it a Hardware Limitation for this model or the change of ios image would solve the purpose.

Please find the show version for the router as below

Could someone please help ?

The 880 only support 5 vty lines. Why you need more?

[sumit mehta]

There is a requirement in which we need more then 5 vty lines. Three for the internal access and three for the Cari access for the client.

Many Thanks for your reply Paolo

So its a hardware limitation and not an ios one right  ?

[paolo bevilacqua]

This is a software limitation decided by Cisco and thatt cannot be overriden by the user.

Thanks for the nice rating and good luck!

[sumit mehta]

Is it possible to override this by changing the ios ?

[paolo bevilacqua]

Again: why is that you need more vty lines ?

[sumit mehta]

We need more vty lines due to a requirement to give the client access to the router on 3 ports through the rotary command on those lines.

and we need to have 3 vty lines reserved for our internal access as per the design guidelines.

so we require 6 vty lines

[paolo bevilacqua]

To be honest with you, 6 users accessing the router simultaneously, seems exaggerated for such a small branch router.

You can try to talk to Cisco, but usually not much comes out of similar feature requests.

Many many thanks for your help Paolo

I will try to talk to CISCO regarding this
