FWSM, unable to access from Switch console

[Manjunatha Jayaram]

Hi,

I am having FWSM in active /standby mode deployed on two different cat 6k chassis. Unable to access the fwsm module from switch using ' session module mod_no processor 1 ", it throws error " % telnet connections not permitted from this terminal"

Running Version 3.2.6 on fwsm, Cat 6k is running 12.2.33.SXH1,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

switch#session slot 3 processor 1

The default escape character is Ctrl-^, then x.

You can also type 'exit' at the remote prompt to end the session

% telnet connections not permitted from this terminal

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

have allowed telnet on line vty, configuration on Line vty is simple allowing all transport protocols

line vty 0 4

exec-timeout 5 0

transport input all

transport output all

line vty 5 15

exec-timeout 5 0

transport input all

transport output all

Any help is much appreciated. Let me know for any further information. Thanks in adv.

Hi Manohar,

If you are  telnet into this chassis, and then session into fwsm, 
then try to configure:
   line vty 0 4
         transport output telnet
  If you are console into this chassis, and then session into fwsm, 
then try to configure:
   line console 0
         transport output telnet

You Can try it and let me know the result.

Thanks Varun, We observed that switch access was working fine if we access switch through telnet, however through console this was not happening, We have changed the config as recommended by you & it seems resolved now. Thanks for your quick help.
