Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 for the QFX Series.

Description

Configure the characteristics of the console port.

Default

The console port is enabled and its speed is 9600 baud.

Options

disable—Disable console login connections.

insecure—Disable root login connections to the console and auxiliary ports. Configuring the console port as insecure also prevents superusers and anyone with a user identifier (UID) of 0 from establishing terminal connections in multiuser mode. This option can be used to prevent a user from attempting password recovery by booting into single-user mode, if the user does not know the root password.

log-out-on-disconnect—Log out the session when the data carrier on the console port is lost.

type terminal-type—Type of terminal that is connected to the port: ansi, vt100, small-xterm, or xterm.
