Look up Access Servers on CCO. Examples are the 2509 and 2511. You connect to them either via the console or via Telnet. Each of the async ports then connects to another routers console port. You can then switch which router you wish to configure without touching any cables. Used in labs. Also used to manage routers at a remote site. The configuration of the terminal server is known as reverse telnet. There are examples on CCO. Also in the Caslow book. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ruben Arias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 11:07 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: AUX port connects to Console??? > > > What's a terminal server and where can I find more info on > the subject? > > Adam Burgess wrote: > > > > I have four 25xx routers... but I don't have a terminal > server.... = > > <snip> > > > > Using your example, you will need to connect the AUX port > on R1 to the = > > CON port on R2, etc, etc. =20 > > > > Standard Cisco Roll-Over cable is needed. > > > > Config on the R1 should work with: > > line aux 0 > > access-class 1 in > > no exec > > exec-timeout 0 0 > > transport input all > > stopbits 1 > > flowcontrol hardware > > > > You will probably also need to: > > clear line aux 0 > > on the control router (or do a restart) before the config will work. > > > > You will then be able to telnet to R1 on TCP 2001 to gain > console access = > > to R2. > > > > I do this on a 2509 so my AUX port is actually TCP 2009 as > 2001-2008 are = > > used by Async Ports.
