Just thought I would let you know, I managed to fix my problem. For some unknown reason some Cisco devices require a rolled cable and others a straight through cable. As my devices are in a rack the octal cable cannot directly connect to the devices themselves. I made the octal cables longer by connecting them to flat satin rolled cables through RJ45-RJ45 connectors. These were then plugged into the devices. As discussed I would get the OPEN command and nothing more. What I did was change the flat satin rolled cables from the RJ45-RJ45 connector and used straight through cables instead. Worked like a charm. Why some required straight through cables from the RJ45-RJ45 connectors and others required the rolled over cables from the RJ45-RJ45 connectors, who knows but it worked which I am happy about.
Hope this helps in anyway (Original question posted last week) HI All I was wondering if any of you guys have come across reverse telnet problems with the 2511 access server? Basically I have 8 devices connected and when I reverse telnet to them all is OK, but on when I try and connect to a 2900 XL switch I get this : Termserver#telnet 192.168.1.1 2006 Trying 192.168.1.1, 2006 ......Open And thats it, nothing else. No command prompt or anything comes up on the screen I have configured telnet connections as exactly the same as all my other devices, I have IOS 12.0(5.2). Any ideas ??
