Can anyone recommend a unit that I can rack mount and that would let me dial into a router via the AUX port?

I am looking to manage routers when the DS1 or DS3 goes down so the only away I can get to the router is a POTTS line. -Original Message- From: Andrew Dorsett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun 6/8/2003 1:38 PM To: Ryan Finnesey Cc: Subject: Re: remote management of routers?

RE: remote management of routers? [7:70349]
For a single router use a modem. For many routers/switches/servers consider a terminal server. That could be a 2509 router. Use a modem to connect to the 2509 and from the 2509 connect to the various boxes - usually their console port in this case. There are other manufacturers of terminal server type boxes.

RE: remote management of routers? [7:70349]
Depending on your routing protocol, another way is to have the router dial out under a dialer watch scenario, but advertise only its loopback address out the dialer interface (e.g. distribute-list out ), so that the device is reachable but doesn't route traffic for the network to which it is attached. This also makes the device more secure (i.e. it never takes an incoming call). Good luck.

What you can use is what's called a OOB switch. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/iad/ps492/index.html I think that's what you might be looking for. -Nate -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Finnesey Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 1:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: remote management of routers?

RE: remote management of routers? [7:70349]
Dial connection to the AUX via a modem or obtain a Zero (64, 128, etc., etc.) CIR DLCI into the site, it would probably cost as much or less than a POTS connection. My old employer, due to a last minute requirement, installed a real smooth thing for a customer a couple of years back. We used dial activated power supplies (call and after a certain set of prompts enter a code) to power AUX connected secure modems. This allowed for a controlled backdoor into the network for management (a.k.a. troubleshooting). All the best!

Re: remote management of routers? [7:70349]
(AS2509-RJ-CH) we would be looking at $1600 each a bit high to manage one router but a nice setup if I have more then one. We are looking at offering a manageed router service for some ISP's in the states.

RE: remote management of routers? [7:70349]
Ryan, If you want to operate under the keep it simple principle and go with the least expensive solution, I would second the suggestion to just use a modem connected to the aux port. We do this for all of our remote sites. It keeps the cost down, as the only things required are an analog phone line at each site and a cheap modem. The disadvantage of this is that you can't remotely power cycle the router in the event that it just plain locks up. For this ability, I'd check out something like a Moxa remote management solution, but I think you'll find the cost quite steep, depending on how thick the company wallet is. You can check them out at www.moxa.com (no affilitiation to them, I just happened to look at their stuff not too long ago.) Hope this helps.

Check out WTI. They've got several products that may be of interest to you for OOB management and will likely be less expensive. Will Gragido CISSP CCNP CIPTSS CCDA MCP Suite 325 9450 W.
