these are not under the vty. all of these hosts are showing from the console. I had several ssh connections from the console and lost connection to the last device and now it is hung.

What is the config under "line con 0"?

If you find a working solution please post.

I wonder if it would work if you clear by absolute line number instead of by relative line number (line vty 0 is a relative number, line 0 is the absolute line number for the console). So I wonder if clear line 0 would resolve your problem.

nope the list still exists after clear line 0

run a 'sh host', it should look something like this:

Host Port Flags Age Type Address(es)

R2 2002 (perm, OK) 2 IP 1.1.1.1

R4 2004 (perm, OK) ** IP 1.1.1.1

R6 2006 (perm, OK) ** IP 1.1.1.1

BB1-2 2007 (perm, OK) 2 IP 1.1.1.1

Frame 2008 (perm, OK) ** IP 1.1.1.1

cat3550 2009 (perm, OK) ** IP 1.1.1.1

cat3560a 2010 (perm, OK) 78 IP 1.1.1.1

cat3560b 2011 (perm, OK) 49 IP 1.1.1.1

R1 2001 (perm, OK) ** IP 1.1.1.1

R3 2003 (perm, OK) ** IP 1.1.1.1

R5 2005 (perm, OK) ** IP 1.1.1.1

use 'clear line x', where x is the last number(s) under port.

to clear my R1 I type 'clear line 1'

edit: basicly drop the first part, 2001 -> 1

Hope that helps.

I do not show anything when I do a sh host. I only get the display when I do a show user, and it shows multiple connections from the console port.

Did you try this?

clear line console 0

Maybe try connecting to the console again and use 6 x to returned to the prompt. Then do:

show sessions

to get session number and use:

disconnect (may require 'ssh' option?)

to disconnect session(s).
