AS2511-RJ configuration issue

[trevinjr68]

I have recently purchased a small lab with several routers and a few switches that also contains an Access Server AS2511-RJ. I have never used an access server and have no idea how to configure it. I have found a few examples on the internet but all of them are from people asking the same question how do you configure it.  Please! Please! if anyone has a simple down to earth config please let me know what to do so that i may begin using my lab with more ease and so that i can pursue my CCNA certification. thank you all in advance.

Really, if you read the cisco documentation, it's all there - reverse telnet.

Not every matter simple like this can be discussed again and again after this stuff has been done for 20 years.

Ill be happy to help, 6 months ago I was in the same boat you are in!

First you need to make a loopback address, on mine I did 10.0.0.1 though it can be anything you want:

interface Loopback0

ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255

Make sure under your tty protocals you add the following or you may have some issue getting it to connect.

line 1 16

no exec

then you setup your hosts like so:

ip host 'HOSTNAME" 2001 "LOOPBACK ADDRESS"

for instance mine looks like

ip host SW1 2001 10.0.0.1

ip host SW2 2002 10.0.0.1

ip host SW3 2003 10.0.0.1

ip host SW4 2004 10.0.0.1

ip host SW5 2005 10.0.0.1

ip host SW6 2006 10.0.0.1

ip host R1 2007 10.0.0.1

ip host R2 2008 10.0.0.1

ip host R3 2009 10.0.0.1

ip host R4 2010 10.0.0.1

ip host R5 2011 10.0.0.1

ip host R6 2012 10.0.0.1

ip host R7 2013 10.0.0.1

the 20XX part is the RJ port, Port 1 is 2001 while 16 is 2016. To go into a device after this is setup just type int telnet "HostID" or for instance I want to go into SW1, just type SW1 in the command and your in Check out this tutorial on backing out and clearing lines. Also an issue I had.
