Greetings All I currently have a ticket open with the cisco TAC on this , but it's been open for over a week and they are just scratching their heads (or virtually scratching their heads). I have a lab environment. There are a number of routers in the lab, most 2500 series but also a couple of 4000s. The routers console ports are all connected to terminal servers (two of them with the routers in the equipment racks). These terminal servers are then on a network. There is also a classroom with a mix of dumb terminals and PCs running terminal emulators (hyperterminal). The dumb terminals and OCs are tied into a third terminal server which is in the classroom. Students go from ther classroom terminal server into the lab one and connect to the routers. The problem is is that when they disconnect (using cntrl-shft-6 x) the lines on the router end tend to stay busy. I can log into the lab terminalk servers (either of them) and see that even though the student has disconnected the line is still busy. I can clear the lines (clear line #) or clear disconnect the session (disco #) but the line just comes busy again. The only way to clear it is to reboot the router. The intent was fro students to be able to access the console ports of many different routers. It seems line when twe break the cxonnection on the lab terminal server that the router is still trying to talk to it so it busies the line ansd there is then no way to get in (other than a reboot). I can't believe the terminal servers are supposed to work like this (which is what the TAC is implying). You should be able to log into a router; log out; then have someone different log in. Isn't that the whole point of a terminal server? I have swapped cables and terminals servers so I know that that is not the problem. Any Ideas?
