RE: Testing refuse-message

Here is the way I understand the refuse message. It is a message that
router itself fails to access the a particular router and displays on
itself. Here is the way to set it up if you have router R1 and R3.

R1 <----------- > R3

On R1 you set a
ip host R3 < ip address>
Line vty 0 4
Refuse-message

Then try to telnet R3 use "telnet R3", if it fails, you should see a
refuse-message.

Hi,
 
Configuring the refuse message is pretty trivial, as per below:
 
Router1(config)#line vty 0 4
Router1(config-line)#refuse-message "
Enter TEXT message. End with the character '"'.
Try back in 10 minutes
"
 
However I seem to be having difficulty testing this correctly to get the
refuse-mesage to show. Simply telneting to the router enough times does
not seem to work, I just get the standard connection refused message,
and not the custom message I configured displayed. If anyone has tested
this and got the message displayed, please share the test methodology.
 
Cheers
 
Chris
