An incoming connection is one initiated from the network side of the router. Incoming connections are also called reverse Telnet sessions. These sessions can display message-of-the-day (MOTD) banners and incoming banners, but they do not display EXEC banners.
When a user connects to a router, the MOTD banner (if configured) appears first, followed by the login banner and prompts. After the user logs in to the router, the EXEC banner or incoming banner is displayed, depending on the type of connection. For a reverse Telnet login, the incoming banner is displayed. For all other connections, the router displays the EXEC banner.
Incoming banners cannot be suppressed. If you do not want the incoming banner to appear, you must delete it with the no banner incoming command.
To customize the banner, use tokens in the form $(token) in the message text. Tokens display current variables, such as the router hostname and IP address. Tokens are described in Table 94.

SSH and Telnet sessions can be established to another router or server.
When the network session is being established and without disconnecting the network session, you can resume the router console session by typing a special sequence of characters as shown. After switching back to the router console, the network connection can be resumed by specifying the number of the connection or the name of the connection.
You can have several concurrent sessions open and switch back and forth between them. The number of sessions that can be open is defined using the session-limit command.
You can switch between sessions by escaping one session and resuming a previously opened session, as follows:
Step 1 Escape from the current session by pressing the escape sequence (Ctrl Shift-6, x [^^X]) to return to the EXEC prompt.
Step 2 Enter the show sessions command to list the open sessions. All open sessions associated with the current terminal line are displayed.
Step 3 Enter the resume command and the session number to make the connection.
You can also resume the previous session by pressing the Return key.
The ^^X and resume commands are available for all supported connection protocols.

Use the transport preferred command to provide a default transport protocol to use when initiating outgoing connections. The preferred outgoing transport protocol specified with the transport preferred command enables you to initiate an outgoing connection without explicitly specifying the transport protocol.
The Cisco IOS XR software assumes that any unrecognized command is a hostname and the software attempts a connection. When the protocol is set to none, the system ignores unrecognized commands entered at the EXEC prompt, and does not attempt a connection.
The default setting, the transport preferred none command, prevents errant connection attempts.

•The vty range for the default vty pool must start at vty 0 and must contain a minimum of five vtys.
•The vty range from 0 through 99 can reference the default vty pool.
•The vty range from 5 through 99 can reference a user-defined vty pool.
•The vty range from 100 is reserved for the fault manager vty pool.
•The vty range for fault manager vty pools must start at vty 100 and must contain a minimum of six vtys.
•A vty can be a member of only one vty pool. A vty pool configuration fails if the vty pool includes a vty that is already in another pool.
If you attempt to remove an active vty from the active vty pool when configuring a vty pool, the configuration for that vty pool fails.
