If you were to daisy-chain telnet sessions then you might want to create a
different escape character for the first or more routers in the chain.
Consider the following scenario:
R1----telnet-----R2----telnet------R3
Lets say for example R2 is my terminal server. However I am not connected
to R2's console port.
Instead, Iam telneting into R2 via IP or reverse-telnet from R1.
Once telneted into R2, I then do a reverse-telnet session to R3. While in
R3 if I were to use the usual escape sequence CTRL+SHIFT+6 X ... I would be
brought all the way back to R1, not R2!
Remember, since I started from R1 ... R1 is also watching for the escape
sequence too.
To solve this I would create a different escape character on R1:
line vty 0 4
escape-character 23
23 is the ASCII code for W.
Having done that,
if I again daisy-chained a telnet to R3 from R1, and at R3 I hit
"CTRL+SHIFT+6 X"
I would be brought back to R2. If I wanted to go back to R1 I would type
"CTRL+SHIFT+6 W"
