Is there any limit on number of telnet connections??? 1

[NavinB]

Hi,

Is there any limit on number of telnet connections on RS6000 server(Model S80) that can be opened concurrently???
We have 500 licences for the server.However,sometimes it doesn't accept connections beyond 55 telnet sessions.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Navin,

This can be limited by the number of pty sessions i.e. pseudo terminals - any logon not via a tty device. Check via:

smitty pty

Hi,

Thanks for the info.
Using your suggestion ,I found out that there are 256 connections available for Pseudo-Terminals and 16 for BSD Pseudo-Terminals.

So does this mean that we can open 256 telnet sessions at a time????
Thanks once again.

Navin,

It does indeed mean that the max. telnet sessions you can have to the box is 256. Also bear in mind that AIX is now free so you can set the license and therefore the number of pty's to be whatever you like.
