Ive got a bunch of new 2911 routers to config and I'm learning the router and switch module. You have to configure an IP address on a port gi1/0 which acts as a connection into the swtich module. Once in the switch module you can use Ctrl+shift+6+x to get back to the router but it is not possible to end the "reverse telnet" session and come back to the router. I would like to be able to exit out and go on with my config. I might have a bunch of these that I may need to do some work on and would like to push a config out that just enters the commands in, goes into the switch mod, makes the changes, exits out of the switch mod, then goes back to the router and continues on. I can't exit out of the switch to get back to the router without doing the Ctrl+shift+6+x. If I am pasting in a config, is there someway to replicate this sequence in a config?
Thanks,

When you are back to the router just type "disconnect" and that should end the switch session .

Glen,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this does not seem to work... see below.

switch#exit
switch con0 is now available
Press RETURN to get started.

If you want to use Ctrl+Break then try this:
conf t
line cons 0
escape break
line vty 0 15
escape break
end
Is this what you are looking for?

Lealaohoo,
No this is not it. But thanks for the advice. Maybe I did not work my question properly. I've got to get this setup so that we can push the routers out quickly which means get them configed quickly. I was looking at having a text based setup where I could just paste some config file in via a console connection on a new router. I've figured I will just do the switch part at the end, the person setting it up can verify the config save the switch config and then Ctrl+shift+6+x out to the router and save that as well.
Thanks,
J R
