Unable to reset vty settings

[Angelo ANELLO]

Hi guys,

     I am having trouble resetting the 'line vty' settings for my switch.  I have incorrectly configured the settings as follows and would like to change them back to default without resetting the entire switch.  The current settings are:

Line vty 0 3

login local

line vty 4

login local

line vty 5

login local

line 6 15

login local

What i am trying to do is to put 'line vty 4' back to be included in the settings for 'line vty 0 4' and also want the same for 'line vty 5' to be added to 'line vty 6 15'.  Can someone guide me as to how to reset these settings or add them together as requesetd.

When i try to run 'no line vty' i get an error that says 'you cannot erase lines 0 15' (or somethins along those lines)

Your help is appreciated

Regards,

Usually when line vty 4 shows up in the config differently from vty 0 3 it is because there is something configured differently on vty 4. I do not see that in what you posted. Similarly when vty 5 shows up by itself it is usually because something is configured on it different from the vty 6 15. Are you sure that there is not something else that shows up in the output of show run for these vty lines?

One approach that might work (but since I have not used it on the vty lines I can not say from experience what it will do) would be to try this:

default line vty 0 4

default line vty 5 15

This might set them back to their default settings and get them to show up together as you want.

Another approach would be to use the command

line vty 0 4

and then to configure any and all parameters that you would like to apply to the vty lines. And then do the same with

line vty 5 15
