Hi all, I currently use a 2511 RJ Terminal Server on a site with dial up access through a modem. Ten pieces of Cisco equipment are then configured using reverse telnet to their consoles. Someone's thrown a spanner in the works. We now need to use something such as SSH to the Terminal Server. The 2500 doesn't support it. The nearest I could think of was a 2610 with an NM16A (16 port Async) module. Unfortunately to run a decent version of code with DES (for SSH support) this needs a DRAM and Flash upgrade. There isn't as far as I can find, a 16 port RJ45 Asynchronous module (closer replacement for the 2511RJ), so we need two octal cables.
Total Price around #4500 as opposed to around #1800 for the 2511RJ. 2511's always seemed a bit steep for this job, but using a 2610 for it seems to be even more so, even though the 2610 itself is only #1100. I think all this still only gives me SSH version 1. Does anybody have any ideas for suitable replacements. Space is a concern, but I am thinking about putting a 1U server in there to do the same job if I can source a 16 port serial card that fits, and I'm also looking at whether Shiva are still in the market. All ideas accepted gladly, but this does have to get past a security board. I don't want full solutions, just asking for brief ideas.
