Configuring the maximum number of sessions
Use the following procedure to configure the maximum number of sessions on the switch. The max-
sessions value configures the number of times a particular role-based user can log in to the switch
through the SSH session at the same time. The default max-sessions value is 3.
The max-sessions value applies only for SSH sessions, and only with enhanced secure mode
enabled.
Before you begin
• You must enable enhanced secure mode in either the JITC or non-JITC sub-modes. It is
recommended that you use the non-JITC sub-mode because the JITC sub-mode is more
restrictive and prevents the use of some troubleshooting utilities.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. Configure the maximum number of sessions:
password max-sessions <1–8> user-name WORD<1–255>
3. (Optional) Configure the password reuse rule to the default:
default password max-sessions
4. Save the configuration:
save config
Note:
The save config command saves the configuration file with the filename configured
as the primary configuration filename in boot config. Use the command show boot
config choice to view the current primary and backup configuration filenames.
Example
Configure the reuse rule to 5:
Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#password max-sessions 5 user-name jsmith
Switch:1(config)#save config
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the password max-sessions command.
Variable
Value
<1–8> Specifies the maximum number of sessions. The
default is 3.
user-name WORD<1–255> Specifies the user-name.
