Terminal Server

[jolo07310]

I use Cisco 2509 as terminal server. However I cannot connect to another cisco router or switch.

Here is my configuration in 2509, please help me out:

ip host r5 2005 173.21.1.1

ip host r4 2004 173.21.1.1

ip host r2 2002 173.21.1.1

ip host r3 2003 173.21.1.1

ip host r1 2001 173.21.1.1

interface Loopback0

ip address 173.21.1.1 255.0.0.0

line 1 8

session-timeout 20

exec-timeout 0 0

no exec

In each router, I configure like this:

line con 0

privilege level 15

no login

What else I need to do? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

try and add the following to the configuration of your 2509:

line 1 8

-->modem InOut

-->terminal-type vt100

-->transport input all

-->telnet speed 9600 9600

-->stopbits 1

HTH,

Georg

Thanks for reply.

Seems working now, but I cannot go back to terminal server 2509.

For example:

I can sucessfully connect router 1 by typing "r1", then I cannot go back 2509 with Ctrl shift 6 x.

"show session" command, I got "% No connections open"

Any idea?

I have another question, do we need to use octal cable plug in 2509 itself?? It is because I just use regular console cable between PC and 2509.

This is my configuration now:

ip host r1 2001 1.1.1.1

ip host r2 2002 1.1.1.1

ip host r3 2003 1.1.1.1

ip host r4 2004 1.1.1.1

interface Loopback0

ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

!

interface Ethernet0 (so I can telnet from PC to 2509)

ip address 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0

line 1 8

session-timeout 20

exec-timeout 0 0

modem InOut

terminal-type vt100

no exec

transport input all

telnet speed 9600 9600

stopbits 1

Thanks
