max-session
Use this command to set maximum VTY session limit.
Use no form of this command to unset session-limit.
User can configure session-limit for Telnet and SSH sessions separately but this max-session parameter value takes the precedence to restrict the maximum number of sessions. If user configured this max-session to be 4, then the device would allow only maximum of 4 SSH and Telnet sessions collectively irrespective of the individual SSH and Telnet max-session configuration. Active sessions won’t be disturbed even if the configured max-session limit is lesser than the current active sessions.
