Cisco 2911 router is not letting me telnet to it?

[galvan601]

So it looks like telnet is disabled. I can console into it but I have send this router into production and at the site nobody has a USB to Serial adapter. Is there a way to connect to this router with a rollover cable or with another way? Can I se the USB ports on the 2911 if so how?

If you have another cisco router on site, you can use it's AUX-port and rollover cable to connect to console of the new router.
It needs configuration for  AUX-port (line aux 0).
This method is described there http://www.ciscozine.com/access-to-the-console-via-aux-port/

Also you can get into console with USB-cable according instructions in Hardware Installation Guide.
This method requires installation of Cisco USB console driver.

hi,

does the site have another live router located on the same rack?

you could use the roll over cable to connect its AUX port to the console port of the other that has no telnet .

configure the AUX port of the other live router as below and then make a telnet using port 2001, i.e telnet 1.1.1.1 2001
