I have CCIE lab at home (14 Cisco routers/switches). I am using Cisco 2511 as terminal (serial) server for accessing all other devices’ console. The loopback IP address has been created; ip host R4 on 8th port has been defined. I am able to connect to router R4 but I cannot return back to Cisco 2511. The same result is for every router on every port...
TermServer#R4
Trying R4 (172.21.1.1, 2008)... Open

Router>exit
Router con0 is now available
Press RETURN to get started.
Router>exit
Router con0 is now available
Press RETURN to get started.
It seems like sequence Ctr Shift 6 x doesn’t work. I tried with Secure CRT, Putty on Vista and Hyper terminal on XP but the outcome was always the same…This is the configuration of 2511.
TermServer#sh run
TermServer#sh running-config

Current configuration:

End
After 1 minute the session is auto terminated because of session-timeout 1 command.
Any suggestion what might be a problem?

Hi Franjo,
In your example, after login to R4 if you want to get back to the 2511, hold down "ctrl+shift+6" at the same time than "x".

Hi Reza,
I tried with small pause between Ctrl-Shift-6 and X but nothing has happened... I tried this with English keyboard.
Thanks anyway.
