Catalyst switch as a console terminal source?

[hakan.topcu]

Hi all,

is it possible, to use a Catalyst Switch (in my case a 3560E) as a source for a console session to another Catalyst?

In principle to use it as a console terminal server.

As far as I know this is not possible. But who knows ...

Hakan,

As far as I know you can only do this with a router as it has an AUX port which can receive telnet

You utilise the AUX port on a router and connect that serially to another device console port.

----------IP----  ROUTER AUX (VIA TELNET) ----- SERIAL to LAN SWITCH CONSOLE
