there are a lot of possible reasons..

you should say what happens when you try to connect through console port

can you establish connection to switch?

[tcherkon]

possible reasons are:

-you have SLIP on console port enabled

-console port setting mismatch your terminal settings

Look to see if no exec is set on the console port, if it is remove it, this will give you access.

Your console port may be configured for a modem. Is there any output to your terminal emulator when you connect the console cable. If messages like ATQ0H0 appear this is the case. Try rebooting the switch and holding down the mode button. From here you can reset the console port to default.

their is no response when i connect through the console.i tried connecting rebooting by holding the mode button but no change.

this is what i see when i connect through telnetting

line con 0

transport input none

stopbits 1

please guide.

thanks

Your output does not seem to have login setup for the console. When login is

configured under console you are prompted for a password [if one is set] whereupon you enter the console password you had configured. Otherwise it will directly take you the privileged mode prompt.

The console config should look like below:

!

line con 0

password xyz

login

!

hi rajesh

thanks for ur reply.

this is what the config is right now:

line con 0

password 7 110A1016141D

login local

stopbits 1

line vty 0 4

password 7 030752180500

login

and this one is of the working switch

line con 0

logging synchronous

transport input none

stopbits 1

line vty 0 4

password cisco

login

i can see this when i give the sh line console 0 on working switch.

Status: PSI Enabled, Ready, Active

and on problematic one when i give sh line console 0 i get

Status: Ready

can u tell me what is PSI enable.

awating reply soon.

thanks
