Line VTY (Virtual Terminal Line) refers to the virtual terminal lines on a network device, such as a router or switch, that allow remote access via protocols like Telnet or SSH. Configuring line VTY settings enables administrators to manage device access, set user authentication, and define the number of concurrent sessions. Each VTY line can have specific access controls and timeout settings to enhance security. Typically, devices support multiple VTY lines, allowing multiple users to connect simultaneously.
