Issues with 2509

[sdharrison]

I'm trying to set up an access server (2509) at home and having some

difficulty. Below is the config. The router hangs when I try to access any

of the other routers I have - as shown below:

AccessServer#r1

Translating "r1"

Trying R1 (1.1.1.1, 2001)... Open

I get the three lines above and the router hangs.

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello,

the config looks ok, can you check if your lines are free (show line) and if there are no active sessions (show sessions) ? If lines or sessions are in use, use the 'clear line x' and 'disconnect x' commands, respectively.

I assume you have checked if you are using the right cable (rolled cable, all pins reversed) ?

The lines are free, they are no sessions, and I'm definitely using the correct cable.

Any other ideas??

Thanks for your reply,

Steve

You might try clear line on the 2509 (clear line )

Also can you verify that the line you are trying to use is plugged into the console port of a router that is up and running. (It seems sort of obvious but I have been bit by that a couple of times.)

I have cleared all the lines several times and the octal cable lines are plugged into up and functioning console ports on the routers.

It still doesn't work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks so much.

Hello,

I have an access server and my config looks like this. The difference is I don't use loopback and transport input telnet, transport preferred none.

Thank you everyone for the help, however after all the frustration it was a faulty asynch. port and I had to replace the router.
