    Hi.

    I know that the vty command is used to log into an FPC/MPC. But what does the cty command do? How do I execute it? I tried 'cty fpc0 pic0' on my MX router and didn't do anything.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    It gives you the console access of FPC. 

     

    >start shell

     

    cty fpc0

    Hello,

     

    Consider vty like a telnet/ssh connection to the FPC &

    vty as the console connection to the FPC.

     

    Certain commands can not be run through vty, so cty to the FPC connection is needed.

     

    Regards,
