Re: % Connection refused by remote host

[Kevin Wigle]

I use a terminal server daily to do configuration on our bank of lab routers.   I typically see that error when I try to connect to a router when a previous session is still active.   If you're connecting to the console port only one connection can be "alive" at one time.   Unlike multiple telnet sessions.   So check to see if that line is active and clear it if need be.   Kevin Wigle   ----- Original Message ----- From: Juan Blanco To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 14 November, 2000 10:43 Subject: % Connection refused by remote host Help, what I am doing wrong here, when I try to connect to the remote router I got the following message % Connection refused by remote host The command that I am using is telnet 2.2.2.2 2001 If try the host name it is trying to resolve the name of the host   Physical layout via OCTAL-ASYNC rolled cable 1 to console port on RouterA   TS-ROUTER -------ROUTERA          Configuration on the Terminal Server-Router interface Loopback0  ip address 2.2.2.2 255.0.0.0  no ip directed-broadcast ip host bo5lab1-rtredg01 2001 2.2.2.2 line con 0  session-timeout 30  transport input pad v120 telnet rlogin udptn line 1 8  session-timeout 20  no exec  exec-timeout 0 0  transport input all  flowcontrol hardware   Configuration on the Router that I want to connect to line con 0  session-timeout 30  transport input telnet
