I was in a discussion with someone this weekend regarding terminal server configuration and the following issue came up. CCO states that on the terminal server, at the very least "transport input telnet" needs to be configured, if not "transport input all". Why is this?
With a terminal server, we are connecting to a console port that has no concept of IP or telnet. You connect to the console port using async serial terminal protocols, *not* telnet. Sure, it may be called Reverse Telnet, but the telnet protocol is not end-to-end; it stops at the terminal server. From the terminal server to the device it is connected to you are simply using async serial. So, why do we need transport input telnet?? We did verify that without this command it will not work. Also, why would the ALL keyword work? As far as I can see, none of the available protocols make any sense in this context. Just curious. Perhaps I'm suffering from a brain cloud today. :-) John Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=33511&t=33511 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
