Reverse telnet allows you to connect a modem or any serial device to the AUX
port or Async port of a Router and telnet to the modem or serial device. An
example of this in real life is... If a company has branch offices with a
Catalyst 2924XL switch and a 2620 router. You can connect the 2924 switches
Console port to the Aux port of the 2620 (may/probably require adapter, see
CCO). In this example, with the 2620 having an IP of 10.0.0.1, the
following command would connect you to the console port of the 2924....
telnet 10.0.0.1 2001.... (Actually, I think on a 2620, the Aux port starts
at 64, so the command would be telnet 10.0.0.1 2065) But anyway, you kind
of get the idea. The Aux port can also be connected to a modem and you can
reverse telnet to the modem... (Great for calling those out-of-state
BBS's... "yes boss, I was testing!") and unrelated to Reverse telnet, you
can configure an aux-port modem for ddr... But we'll save that discussion
for another day.

Subject: Question regarding Reverse Telnet [7:5999]
Thanks for being a good group of informed people, it really benefits
people like me who can absorb knowledge from you folks.
My question is:
Does anyone have a simple way of describing reverse telnet. I've read
up on it and I do understand the port numbers started at 2000 and some
of the configuration steps to setup a cisco 2509-2512. However I am
just wondering if maybe someone could put it in plain english how it
works so I can really understand it. Thanks a bunch!
