Hi all is it possible to set a fail-message when somebody tries to access a router, which has a telnet restriction with an access-list ? e.g. you apply an access-class to the line vty 0 4 as incoming. all sessions which are not allowed to access, get the message telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused is it possible to change this to " not authorized! Bye!" or whatever ..... appreciate any comments. thorsten _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
