Hi Jonathan,

try this on your term server, however if you are trying to connect via AUI then you need transceiver, the below config for connecting via AUX 0.

line aux 0

  transport input all

  transport output all

Let me know, if this helps.

thanks

I have the transceiver, and the lights are all on....input the coding above and still not able to ping my router (192.168.2.1)

[rizwanr74]

which interface (i.e. ip address) term-server is connected to network ?

Please show command below.

show line

The AUI/Ethernet0 is connected to a switch with access to VLAN 200 where my primary router is connected.  I changed the IP address of the Access Server (2509) to 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 so that it could have it's own subnet.  EIGRP is enabled but not finding the other networks.....

This issue more like a routing issue than term-server issue.

On the term-server please add a default-route to push everything to other end of this ip "192.168.3.1"

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.x

Are you able to ping this ip "192.168.3.1" from the switch?

If you have already done all of this, then it has to be a routing problem.

where EIGRP is enable on the primary router or term-sever or switch itself ?

thanks

[jwood1650]

This is what I get when adding the default route

Access_Server(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.1

%Invalid next hop address (it's this router)

Here is I have...

Cisco3745 (192.168.2.1) - Main Router

Cisco3550 Switch (192.168.2.2)

Cisco2509 (192.168.3.1)

Should the default route be 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1

[jwood1650]

EIGRP is enabled on all devices

[rizwanr74]

to narrow down the problem, connect a laptop or PC on this IP range (192.168.3.0) to same switch on switch-port and trying to ping 2509 and then telnet to 2509.  When you know your telnet and term-server is functioning the way is supposed to, then resolve secondary issue EIGRP later.

when you add a default-route on the 2509, then next-hop address should be an SVI interface's address on the switch for vlan200.

[jwood1650]

Can you explane this please?

when you add a default-route on the 2509, then next-hop address should be an SVI interface's address on the switch for vlan200.

There are several issues in what has been posted so far:

- your router eigrp has a network 192.168.0.0 statement. This will look for anything in the one class C network 192.168.0.0/24. But there are not any interfaces on the router in that network. So you need a network statement that matches the interface.

- why would you want the term server to have its own network? to establish a connection between your access server and your router they need to have interfaces that are connected on a common subnet.If your main router is 192.168.2.1 then the interface on the 2509 needs to be in network 192.168.2.x (and that should be your eigrp network statement also)..

There is also a possibility that there is some other issue about the connectivity. It would help if you would post the output of show ip interface brief from the 2509 and also the output of show cdp neighbor.

Now it works....switched my VLANs back to the VLAN200 where my main router is, changed the IP address to 192.168.2.3 and it worked....thanks for the help...

[jwood1650]

So I went to clean up the EIGRP statements and when I took out the 192.168.2.0 and left the 192.168.0.0....I lost connectivity....why would this happen?

I tried to explain this in my previous post. When you had the network statement for 192.168.2.0 it matched your interface and could form a neighbor relationship with your main router. When you removed 192.168.2.0 and left only 192.168.0.0 then there was no network statement that matched your interface and therefore EIGRP could not work.

One way to check this out is to use the command show ip eigrp interface. Enter that command when you have the 192.168.2.0 network statement and your Ethernet will show up as an EIGRP interface. When you have only the 192.169.0.0 network statement try the command and it will show that there are no EIGRP interfaces on the router.

Additional thoughts about the most recent posts:

- if you get EIGRP working correctly you probably do not need to configure a default route on the 2509.

- if you do configure a default route then the next hop should probably be the address of the main router. It might work to use the switch SVI, if the switch is configured to do layer 3 routing and if it knows all of the addressing used in the network. But it would be more safe to use the main router address.
