It works. Just configure the sync/async port(s) as async. Then the corresponding line will appear. Configuration then proceeds exactly as one would do on a 2509. Most likely a 2523 could be used as a Frame Switch and a terminal server. Cost of cables is an issue. Cable was RS-232 DTE PN 72-0793-01. DB-60 to DB-25 male. It was connected to the female DB-25 to RJ-45 adapter that comes with the console kit. Console rollover cable used between it and the console of the target router. Also successfully tried with a RS-232 DCE cable, male DB-25 adapter and rollover cable. Config extract follows: 2523 as a terminal server ip host r1 2008 2.2.2.2 ip host r2 2009 2.2.2.2 ! interface Loopback0 ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 no ip directed-broadcast ! interface Serial8 physical-layer async no ip address no ip directed-broadcast ! interface Serial9 physical-layer async no ip address no ip directed-broadcast ! line 8 9 no exec transport input all Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=7673&t=7673 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
