Erick:

Do you know some solution to receive a preconfigured "refuse" message if
all the vty lines are busy in the router wich you are telnetting?

I'm also trying with the global "busy-message" command, but no luck: you
receive a standard notification, not the message configured.

I think this is more for TTY lines (reverse telnet,
etc). When all VTYs are in use the router doesn't have
a open TCP port to connect to so it doesn't get to a
connected TCP state.

I do know the refuse-message w/tty does not work as
documented since 12.0 code. I had this working on some
term servers at work on old code until a code upgrade.

With 12.0, 12.0T, 12.1, 12.1T, 12.2, 12.2T on various
router and feature sets there is a bug with it that
hasn't been fixed yet.

With above versions, when you try to access a busy
line it saids:

Line has invalid autocommand "show
refuse-message"Connection closed by foreign host

*instead of* the refuse-message defined.

The bug id is CSCdy51736 and is still in new status.
The bug description is a little off and I've also
asked it be corrected, and submitted feedback multiple
times on it as this bug effects a production term
server environment at work (minor annoyance).

I've inquired about the bug w/TAC a few times but no
one is assigned to work on it I'm told. Guess it's not
that big of problem to get fixed. Now that you've
reminded me I'll open another case on this to see if
they can fix this.
