Toggling 'tween telnet sessions 1

[OldSkoolSkater]

Ok Ok...
This is really bugging me now!

What is the key combination for toggling between telnet sessions when you have telnetted into a switch, and then you telnet into another switch from that session?
I know it's something like ctrl, shift, 6, x, but can't for the life of me remember what it is!!

Help!!

You are right - the key combination is <CTRL> <SHIFT> 6 (all hit together, basically <CTRL>^) then release and hit 'x'. This should bring you back to the prompt of the router you telnet'ed from.

Cheers for that Andy

I was pressing all the keys at once - so close yet so far!
I guess it's just <ctrl>^ to get back to the original session, or just type the active telnet session number?

Doing a contrl shift 6 X will bring you back to the first switch/router . This wont take you back to the second switch/router from which you originally started the session to third switch/router.

Sankar, I stand corrected. If you telnet to a router (or other IOS device) and then telnet again the break-out sequence will take you back to the very first switch you telnet'd to. If you type <CTRL><SHIFT> and then hit '6' twice and then 'x' you will return to the one you have just telnet'd from........

If you open multiple telnet sessions from one router to various other hosts and you want to return to a particular session then you need to escape back to the router (<CTRL><SHIFT>6, x) and type resume <session number>. To show the sessions you have open type 'show sessions', each one will have an ID number.
