Some login management commands are available in both user line view and user line class view. For these commands, the device uses the following rules to determine the settings to be activated:

· A setting in user line view applies only to the user line. A setting in user line class view applies to all user lines of the class.

· A non-default setting in either view takes precedence over a default setting in the other view. A non-default setting in user line view takes precedence over a non-default setting in user line class view.

· A setting in user line class view takes effect on login sessions that are established after the setting is configured.

activation-key

Use activation-key to set the terminal session activation key. Pressing this shortcut key starts a terminal session.

Use undo activation-key to restore the default.

Syntax

Parameters

none: Disables authentication.

password: Performs local password authentication.

scheme: Performs AAA authentication. For more information about AAA, see User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION:

· When authentication is disabled, users can login without authentication. For security purpose, disable authentication with caution.

· When you enable password authentication, you must also configure an authentication password for the line or line class. If no authentication password is configured, you cannot log in to the device through the line or line class at the next time.

· When you enable scheme authentication, make sure an authentication user account is available. If no authentication user account is available, you cannot log in to the device through the line or line class at the next time.

Only users assigned the network-admin, or level-15 user role can execute this command. Other users cannot execute this command, even if they are granted the right to execute this command.

In VTY line view, this command is associated with the protocol inbound command.

· If the settings of the two commands in VTY line view are both the default settings, the settings for the commands in VTY line class view take effect.

· If the settings of the two commands in VTY line view are both non-default settings, the non-default settings in VTY line view take effect.

· If only one command has a non-default setting in VTY line view, the other command uses the default setting, regardless of the setting in VTY line class view.

An authentication mode change does not take effect on the current session. It takes effect on subsequent login sessions.

Examples

# Enable the none authentication mode for VTY line 0.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] line vty 0

[Sysname-line-vty0] authentication-mode none

# Enable password authentication for VTY line 0 and set the password to hello12345.

Parameters

command: Specifies the command to be automatically executed.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION:

After using this command for a user line, you might be unable to access the CLI through the user line. Make sure you can access the CLI through a different user line before you execute this command and save the configuration.

‌

The device will automatically execute the specified command when a user logs in through the user line, and close the user connection after the command is executed.

This command is not supported in console line view or console line class view.

A configuration change made by this command does not take effect on the current session. It takes effect on subsequent login sessions.

Examples

# Configure the device to automatically execute the telnet 192.168.1.41 command when a user logs in through VTY line 0.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] line vty 0

[Sysname-line-vty0] auto-execute command telnet 192.168.1.41

This action will lead to configuration failure through line-vty0. Are you sure?

[Y/N]:y

[Sysname-line-vty0]

# To verify the configuration, Telnet to the device (192.168.1.40).

The device automatically Telnets to 192.168.1.41. The following output is displayed on the configuration terminal:

C:\> telnet 192.168.1.40

******************************************************************************

* Without the owner's prior written consent, *

* no decompiling or reverse-engineering shall be allowed. *

******************************************************************************

Trying 192.168.1.41 ...

Press CTRL+K to abort

******************************************************************************

* Without the owner's prior written consent, *

* no decompiling or reverse-engineering shall be allowed. *

******************************************************************************

<Sysname.41>

This operation is the same as directly logging in to the device at 192.168.1.41 through Telnet. When you close the Telnet connection to 192.168.1.41, the Telnet connection to 192.168.1.40 is closed at the same time.

character-encoding

Use character-encoding to specify character encodings.

Use undo character-encoding to restore the default.

Syntax

character-encoding system { gb18030 | utf-8 } cli-terminal { gb18030 | utf-8 } snmp { gb18030 | utf-8 }

undo character-encoding

Default

No character encoding is specified.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

system: Specifies a character encoding globally for the system. For the login terminal to correctly display Chinese character, make sure the login terminal and the system use the same character encoding.

cli-terminal: Specifies a default encoding for CLI terminals.

snmp: Specifies a character encoding for SNMP clients.

gb18030: Specifies the GB18030 encoding.

utf-8: Specifies the UTF-8 encoding.

Usage guidelines

GB18030 and UTF-8 are two common character encodings. They both support Chinese and English, but the encoding length of Chinese characters is different. If the parameters to configure contain Chinese characters, make sure the login terminal and the device use the same character encoding. Otherwise, the configuration containing Chinese characters on the device might fail to be parsed correctly, or even fail to take effect.

Before using character-encoding, you can use the display character-encoding command to obtain current character encodings on the system and the login terminal.

The settings on CLI terminals and SNMP clients take effect immediately and do not require a device reboot.

For a new character encoding to take effect on the system, reboot the device. Use the following restrictions and guidelines as needed:

· Before rebooting the device, use display | original-encoding to predict whether the configuration in the next start-up configuration file can be parsed correctly in the new character encoding. If a setting displays incorrectly, the setting cannot be parsed, and the new character encoding will cause the setting to fail to be restored after the reboot. To resolve this issue, you can configure another character encoding or use character-encoding again after the reboot.

· A new character encoding does not affect the character encodings that have already specified for the configuration files and log files. The new encoding will not automatically convert the configuration files and log files. You can use display | original-encoding to manually convert the files and save the converted files to a new configuration file.

· Before rebooting the device, you can use undo character-encoding to cancel the change to the system character encoding.

Examples

# Specify UTF-8 encoding for the system, and GB18030 encoding for CLI and SNMP.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] character-encoding system utf-8 cli-terminal gb18030 snmp gb18030

The system-level character encoding change might cause configuration restoration failure after a device reboot. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Please convert and save the running configuration to the next-startup configuration file.For the system-level character encoding change to take effect, you must reboot the device.

Parameters

gb18030: Specifies the GB18030 encoding.

utf-8: Specifies the UTF-8 encoding.

Usage guidelines

When you execute only the display command command, the device displays the output from the specified command in the system encoding. The display command | original-encoding { gb18030 | utf-8 } command enables the device to convert the output from the specified command to the specified encoding.

This feature is mainly used to identify whether the current configuration or command output can be correctly parsed in a new character encoding. If the matching information cannot be correctly parsed, perform one of following operations:

· Modify the command lines that cannot be correctly parsed, and then reboot the device.

· Reboot the device for the new character encoding to take effect, and then modify the command lines that cannot be correctly parsed.

Examples

Syntax

escape-key { key-string | default }

undo escape-key

Default

The escape key is Ctrl+C.

Views

User line view

User line class view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

key-string: Specifies a shortcut key. It can be a character (case sensitive, except for d and D), or an ASCII code value in the range of 0 to 127. For example, if you execute escape-key 1, the shortcut key is Ctrl+A. If you execute escape-key a, the shortcut key is a. If you specify the character d or D for this argument, the actual shortcut key is Ctrl+C. To use d or D as the shortcut key, you must specify the ASCII code value of the character for this argument. For information about ASCII code values of individual characters, see the standard ASCII code chart. For information about ASCII code values of combined keys that use the Ctrl key, see Table 1.

default: Restores the default escape key Ctrl+C.

Usage guidelines

You can press the escape key to abort a command that is being executed, for example, a ping or tracert command. Whether a command can be aborted by Ctrl+C by default depends on the software implementation of the command. For more information, see the usage guidelines for the command.

As a best practice, use a key sequence as the escape key. If you define a single character as the escape key, pressing the key while a command is being executed stops the command. If no command is being executed, pressing the key enters the character as a common character. If you Telnet from the device to a remote device, pressing the key enters the character as a common character on the remote device. The key acts as the escape key on the remote device only when the following conditions are met:

· You define the same character as the escape key on the remote device.

· You press the key while a command is being executed on the remote device.

The undo escape-key command disables the current escape key. After you execute this undo command, no escape key is available.

The setting in user line view takes effect immediately on the current session. The setting in user line class view takes effect on login sessions that are established after the setting is configured.

To display the current escape key, use the display current-configuration | include escape-key command.

Examples

# Configure character a as the escape key for VTY line 0.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] line vty 0

[Sysname-line-vty0] escape-key a

To verify the configuration:

1. Ping IP address 192.168.1.49, specifying the -c keyword to set the number of ICMP echo request packets to 20.

<Sysname> ping -c 20 192.168.1.49

Ping 192.168.1.49 (192.168.1.49): 56 data bytes, press 'a' to break

56 bytes from 192.168.1.49: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1.000 ms

56 bytes from 192.168.1.49: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.000 ms

2. Press a.

The system aborts the command and returns to user view.

network-admin

Parameters

size-value: Specifies the maximum number of history commands the buffer can store, in the range of 0 to 256.

Usage guidelines

Each user line uses a separate command history buffer to store commands successfully executed by its user. The buffer size determines how many history commands the buffer can store.

To display history commands in the buffer for your session, press the up or down arrow key, or execute the display history-command command. For more information about the command history buffer, see CLI introduction in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Terminating a CLI session clears the commands in the command history buffer.

The setting in user line view takes effect immediately on the current session. The setting in user line class view takes effect on login sessions that are established after the setting is configured.

Examples

# Set the command history buffer size to 20 for VTY line 0.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

advanced-acl-number: Specifies an advanced IPv4 ACL number in the range of 3000 to 3999.

basic-acl-number: Specifies a basic IPv4 ACL number in the range of 2000 to 2999.

Usage guidelines

This command does not take effect on the existing TCP connections.

To control TCP connections from IPv4 HTTP clients, specify an existing ACL that has rules. Then, only IPv4 HTTP clients permitted by the ACL can establish TCP connections to the device. If no ACL is applied or the applied ACL does not exist or does not have rules, all IPv4 HTTP clients can establish TCP connections.

If a VPN instance is specified in an ACL rule, the rule applies only to the packets of the VPN instance. If no VPN instance is specified in an ACL rule, the ACL rule applies only to the packets on the public network.

Whether an IPv4 HTTP client can use a service after it establishes a TCP connection to the device depends on the configuration for the service. For example, for an IPv4 HTTP client to use the NETCONF over SOAP service, both this command and the netconf soap acl command must permit the IPv4 HTTP client. For more information about the netconf soap acl command, see NETCONF commands in Network Programmability Command Reference.

Examples

# Use ACL 2001 to allow only IPv4 HTTP clients from 1.1.1.1 to establish TCP connections to the device.

telnet: Supports Telnet only.

Usage guidelines

Only users assigned the network-admin, or level-15 user role can execute this command. Other users cannot execute this command, even if they are granted the right to execute this command.

A configuration change in user line view does not take effect on the current session. It takes effect on subsequent login sessions.

Before configuring a user line to support SSH, set the authentication mode to scheme for the user line.

In VTY line view, this command is associated with the authentication-mode command. If you specify a non-default value for one of the two commands, the other command uses the default setting, regardless of the setting in VTY line class view.

· If the settings of the two commands in VTY line view are both the default settings, the settings for the commands in VTY line class view take effect.

· If the settings of the two commands in VTY line view are both non-default settings, the non-default settings in VTY line view take effect.

· If only one command has a non-default setting in VTY line view, the other command uses the default setting, regardless of the setting in VTY line class view.

Examples

# Enable user lines VTY 0 through VTY 4 to support only SSH.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] line vty 0 4

[Sysname-line-vty0-4] authentication-mode scheme

[Sysname-line-vty0-4] protocol inbound ssh

# Enable SSH support and set the authentication mode to scheme in VTY line class view. Enable user lines VTY 0 through VTY 4 to support all protocols and disable authentication for the user lines.

Parameters

ansi: Specifies the ANSI type.

vt100: Specifies the VT100 type.

Usage guidelines

The device supports two terminal display types: ANSI and VT100. As a best practice, specify the VT100 type on both the device and the configuration terminal. If either side uses the ANSI type, a display problem might occur when a command line has more than 80 characters. For example, a cursor positioning error might occur.

A terminal display type change does not take effect on the current session. It takes effect on subsequent login sessions.

Examples

# Set the terminal display type to VT100.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] line vty 0

[Sysname-line-vty0] terminal type vt100

Parameters

first-number1: Specifies the absolute number of the first user line. The value range is 0 to 79.

last-number1: Specifies the absolute number of the last user line. The value range is 1 to 79. This number must be greater than first-number1.

console: Specifies the console line.

vty: Specifies the VTY line.

first-number2: Specifies the relative number of the first user line. The value range is 0 to 15 for console lines and 0 to 63 for VTY lines.

last-number2: Specifies the relative number of the last user line. The value range is 1 to 15 for console lines and 1 to 63 for VTY lines. This number must be greater than first-number2.

Usage guidelines

This command is an older version reserved for backward compatibility purposes. It has the same functionality and output as the line command. As a best practice, use the line command.

To configure settings for a single user line, use this command to enter the user line view.

To configure the same settings for multiple user lines, use this command to enter multiple user line views.

Examples

# Enter the view of console line 0.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] user-interface console 0

[Sysname-line-console0]

# Enter the views of VTY lines 0 to 4.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] user-interface vty 0 4

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

console: Specifies the console line class view.

vty: Specifies the VTY line class view.

Usage guidelines

This command is an older version reserved for backward compatibility purposes. It has the same functionality and output as the line class command. As a best practice, use the line class command.

To configure the same settings for all user lines of a line class, you can use this command to enter the user line class view.

The following commands are available in user line class view:

· activation-key

· auto-execute command

· authentication-mode

· command accounting

· command authorization

· escape-key

· history-command max-size

· idle-timeout

· protocol inbound

· screen-length

· set authentication password

· shell

· terminal type

· user-role

For commands that are available in both user line view and user line class view, the device uses the following rules to determine the settings to use:

· A setting in user line view applies only to the user line. A setting in user line class view applies to all user lines of the class.

· A setting in user line class view does not take effect on current online users. It takes effect only for new login users.

Examples

# Set the CLI connection idle-timeout timer to 15 minutes in VTY line class view.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] user-interface class vty

[Sysname-line-class-vty] idle-timeout 15

# In console line class view, configure character s as the terminal session activation key.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] user-interface class console

[Sysname-line-class-console] activation-key s

[Sysname-line-class-console] quit

# In the view of console line 0, restore the default terminal session activation key.

[Sysname] user-interface console 0

[Sysname-line-console0] undo activation-key

Alternatively, you can use the following command:

[Sysname-line-console0] activation-key 13

To verify the configuration:

1. Exit the session on console line 0.

[Sysname-line-console0] return

<Sysname> quit

2. Log in again through the console line.

The following message appears:

Press ENTER to get started.

3. Press Enter.

Pressing Enter does not start a session.

4. Enter s.

A terminal session is started.

User line class view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

role-name: Specifies a user role name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. The user role can be user-defined or predefined. Available predefined user roles include network-admin, network-operator, and level-0 to level-15. The predefined security-audit user role is not supported in user line view or user line class view. If you do not specify this argument, the undo user-role command restores the default user role.

Usage guidelines

Only users assigned the network-admin, or level-15 user role can execute this command. Other users cannot execute this command, even if they are granted the right to execute this command.

A user role change does not take effect on the current session. It takes effect on subsequent login sessions.

You can assign up to 64 user roles to a user line.
