10.1.6 Setting the number of users that can log in at the same time

Using the line vty configuration command, you can enable login to the Switch from a remote operation terminal. The value of the <num> parameter limits the number of remote users who can log in concurrently. Regardless of this setting, login from the console is always possible. The following setting example allows no more than two users to be logged in concurrently.

(config)# line vty 0 1 (config-line)#

Switch behavior in regard to concurrent users is as follows:

Multiple users attempting to log in at the same time might not succeed, even if the number of concurrent users is less than the maximum.
If you change the maximum number of concurrent users, current user sessions will not be terminated.
