Hi, i'm trying to configure a switch without ip, remotely.
I have the router AUX port connected to the switch Console port via Roll-cable When i try to
connect i get:
RouterXPTO#1.1.1.1 2065
Trying 1.1.1.1, 2065 ... Open
But i can't type anything ....(newbie problems )
--------------
Router configuration
interface Loopback0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
line aux 0
no exec
no activation-character
terminal-type VT100
transport preferred none
transport input all
One last thing, can i use a straigth cable to do the connectio ? Thanks

Assuming your switch is Cisco, the console port should be a dte so the rollover cable should work (router aux is also dte).
Whenever I am having problems with a line that I know should be working, I 'clear line aux 0' or 'clear line cons 0' as the case may be.
Is it possible that maybe you have a speed mismatch, flow control mismatch, etc. between the aux and the cons? All that is required for the "open" message to appear is for the telnet to be successful. There is no requirement that the physical interface be setup correctly.

clear line didn't solve the problem, my router is a 3620 how can i now if the remote user didn't switch the cable connection on router aux - console, because the cisco is near a wall and he can't check it...
thanks

Can the "no activation-character" be the problem? Usually you hit "return" in order to activate the connection!

Forgot set stopbits 1
Good luck

I think the activation character is on the way in not on the way out. Bottom line - you have a physical connectivity problem at the distant end that needs resolved. I pasted you original config into an aux port and plugged in a rollover cable. No problems.
