2511 Terminal server setup

[uzmausmani]

I'm trying to setup a 2511 as a terminal server. I've connected the ethernet port to the console port of the device I need remote access to. Followed all the steps on this page http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_configuration_example09186a008014f8e7.shtml#cs

I've given the loopback a non routable IP (172.22.2.1) and used the same to define my IP host

ip host router 2008 172.22.2.1

but when I telnet from the 2511 using the command telnet 172.22.2.1 2008 it telnets to the 2511 itself and hangs!!! what am I doing wrong? Do I need to do anything on the device that I want to have remote access to?

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your advice, however the command "default transport input" etc is not supported under IOS 10.2 :-)

Thanks

Hi Rick,

Finally I've sorted this out. It seems that starting from scratch in terms of configs, and paying close attention to using the correct rolled cable in relation to the async port done the trick. Just a few lines to thank you assistance.

I am glad that you have got this sorted out. Thanks for posting back to the thread and indicating that it was resolved and how you resolved it. It makes the forum more useful when people can read about a problem and can read what was done to resolve the problem.

You might use the check box in the rating system to indicate that the problem is solved. This would make it easier for people to identify the problem as one that was resolved.
