Wide area networks are often very wide and installing or troubleshooting remote routers often requires fingers on keyboards in more than one physical location. It is simple to get a listing of the users logged into a router which makes it easier to send that user a message (as many remote locations have no cell phone signal).

To list the users logged into a router, issue this command:

show users


The output will show something like:


    Line      User      Host(s)       Idle     Location
  * 0 con 0                           00:00:00
    66 vty 0  qmchenry  idle          00:13:49 trx3845a


The line starting with the asterisk is the session from which you run the command.
