Hey Group, I seem to be having a small problem with reverse telnet! Here's what's configured- I setup my terminal server (2511) with a loopback of 1.1.1.1, ip host commands for each router connected through the async ports, and transport input all & no exec on line 1 8. Here's the problem- when I first do a reverse telnet to any one of my routers, something funny happens! For some reason, the text comes onto the screen very slow, and I can't type any commands. I appear to be telnetted into the routers, but I still can't type anything! There is one exception though. The problem occurs only when I reverse telnet to my 2500 series routers. The problem does not occur when I reverse telnet to my 4000 series router. Does anyone know what the problem here is? Am I forgetting a command or two? Also, could anyone explain the purpose of the no exec command (I just read it in a book, but never really though about it) on my async lines? Thanks in advance, Fred P.S. All of the routers, except for the 4000, are running version 12.0 enterprise IOS _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=1454&t=1454 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
