In this lab we will learn how to send messages to users logged in to the same router.For this we need to create a telnet program on router and then create some users on router.After that we will login to router through different computer and with different users.And then we will send messages to all users logged into the router or to send a message to any particular user.

Step1:First assign ip address on router and create some users.

Router(config)#host telnet

telnet(config)#enable password ccna

telnet(config)#username satish password satish

telnet(config)#username tiwary password tiwary

telnet(config)#username shukla password shukla

telnet(config)#int fa0/0

telnet(config-if)#ip add 1.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

telnet(config-if)#no shut


In above code i have created three users named satish,tiwary and shukla on my router.

Step2:Create telnet program on router now.

telnet(config)#line vty 0 15

telnet(config-line)#login local

telnet(config-line)#exit

telnet(config)#

 

Step3:Now we want  to send a text message to all active users logged into a router

logged into router using different computer from different users.Then send message from routers and then check whether messages will be delivered or not.

Here i am going to send messages to all users who is currently logged in to this router using send command and * here will broadcast messages to all the users currently looged in to the router.

telnet#send *

Enter message, end with CTRL/Z; abort with CTRL/C:

hi satish tiwary here

from ethical hacking tuition center jaipur

Send message? [confirm]

***

***

*** Message from tty0 to all terminals:

***

hi satish tiwary here

from ethical hacking tuition center jaipur

 

Now go to pc and check:

Here i was already logged in using telnet and waiting to receive message from router and you can see i have got the messages send from routers.

PC>telnet 1.0.0.1

Trying 1.0.0.1 ...Open

User Access Verification

Username: satish

Password:

telnet>en

Password:

telnet#***

***

*** Message from tty0 to all terminals:

***

hi satish tiwary here

from ethical hacking tuition center jaipur

Similarly go to another pc and check:

For confirmation i have gone to another pc where i was logged in from another user i have seen that the messages have been delivered there too.It means router has broadcaste that message to all logged in users.

PC>telnet 1.0.0.1

Trying 1.0.0.1 ...Open

User Access Verification

Username: tiwary

Password:

telnet>en

Password:

telnet#***

*** Message from tty0 to all terminals:

***

hi satish tiwary here

from ethical hacking tuition center jaipur

To view all of the active users on the router, use the show users:

telnet#show users

Line User Host(s) Idle Location

* 0 con 0 idle 00:00:00

196 vty 0 satish idle 00:02:04 1.0.0.2

197 vty 1 tiwary idle 00:05:27 1.0.0.3

Interface User Mode Idle Peer Address

To send a private message to a user logged onto a specific line,
 use the send command with the line number:here in below code i am going to send message on line 196 
on which user satish is logged in.

telnet#send 196

Enter message, end with CTRL/Z; abort with CTRL/C:

hi i am sending this message for user satish who is looged in on line 196

is this satish there?

Send message? [confirm]
