This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax for modem and modem line commands. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Dial Solutions Command Reference.

async-bootp

To support the extended BOOTP request specified in RFC 1084, and to specify information that will be sent in response to BOOTP requests, use the async-bootp global configuration command. To clear the list, use the no form of this command.

async-bootp tag [:hostname] data
no async-bootp tag [:hostname] data


tag Item being requested; expressed as filename, integer, or IP dotted decimal address.
:hostname (Optional) This entry applies only to the specified host. The argument can be either an IP address or a logical host name.
data List of IP addresses entered in dotted decimal notation or as logical host names, a number, or a quoted string.

autocommand

To configure the Cisco IOS software to automatically execute a command when a user connects to a particular line, use the autocommand line configuration command.

autocommand command

command Any appropriate EXEC command, including the host name and any switches that occur with the EXEC command.

autohangup

To configure automatic line disconnect, use the autohangup line configuration command. This command causes the EXEC to issue the exit command when the last connection closes.

autohangup

clear line

To return a terminal line to idle state, use the clear line EXEC command.

clear line line-number

line-number Absolute line number.

exec

To allow an EXEC process on a line, use the exec line configuration command. Use the no form of this command to turn off the EXEC process for the specified line.

exec
no exec

no flowcontrol
{none | software [in | out] | hardware [in | out]}

none Turns off flow control.
software Sets software flow control. An optional keyword specifies the direction: in causes the Cisco IOS software to listen to flow control from the attached device, and out causes the software to send flow control information to the attached device. If you do not specify a direction, both are assumed.
lock Used to make it impossible to turn off flow control from the remote host when the connected device needs software flow control. This option applies to connections using the Telnet or rlogin protocols.
hardware Sets hardware flow control. An optional keyword specifies the direction: in causes the software to listen to flow control from the attached device, and out causes the software to send flow control information to the attached device. If you do not specify a direction, both are assumed. For more information about hardware flow control, see the hardware manual that was shipped with your router.

ip mtu bytes
no ip mtu


bytes Maximum number of bytes. The range of values is 64 to 1000000.
