Access Server Config 2509

[jwood1650]

Do I need my 2509 connected to a switch in order to be able to access  my other devices?  I am creating my lab but wanted to start with  configuring my access server first, but when I try to connect to a  device I get a time out or session denied message.

Here is my 2509 Config:

Building configuration...

Current configuration:

!

version 11.0

service udp-small-servers

service tcp-small-servers

!

hostname AccessServer

!

!

!

interface Loopback0

ip address 10.0.20.5 255.255.255.255

!

interface Ethernet0

no ip address

shutdown

!

interface Serial0

no ip address

shutdown

no fair-queue

!

interface Serial1

no ip address

shutdown

!

ip host HQ_3620 2001 10.0.20.5

ip host Branch_A_3620 2002 10.0.20.5

ip host Branch_B_2651 2003 10.0.20.5

ip host CallMgnr_2651 2004 10.0.20.5

ip host Branch_C_2621 2005 10.0.20.5

ip host Branch_D_2621 2006 10.0.20.5

ip host Switch_A 2007 10.0.20.5

ip host Switch_B 2008 10.0.20.5

ip host FrameRely 2003 10.0.20.5

!

line con 0

line 1 16

transport input all

line aux 0

transport input all

line vty 0 4

login

!

end

Do I need anything special on my other devices for the access server to be able to connect via the console port?

You do not necessarily need your 2509 connected to a switch. Since you have not configured any physical interfaces with addresses, are we correct in understanding that you will be accessing this 2509 through its console port?

The main thing that I would suggest is that you add this to your configuration

line 1 16

no exec

I will also point out that you have two hosts both configured to use the same async connection

ip host Branch_B_2651 2003 10.0.20.5

ip host FrameRely 2003 10.0.20.5

That is not necessarily a problem, but I wonder if your really intended this.
