Config 2509 term serv

Hello and thanks in advance for any insight...

Trying to setup my lab terminal server but getting 'connection refused'. Is there something I need to do to the router\\console port to accept.

I'm going from term-serv router (2509: ROUTER_10) to another router's console port (2610: ROUTER_1). (See configs below.)

Any ideas?

Chris,

The ROUTER_10 will need at least 'transport input telnet' configured for 'line 1 8' although you could put 'transport input all'

After the above has been added you may see the error again if the line has not been released from a previous use, to clear that use 'clear line 1' and confirm.

The error is misleading as this it nothing to do with the remote router that you are connecting to.

I assume that 10.255.255.1 is the loopback address for ROUTER_10 although it can be any active address on the router.

Hope this works for you Regards Robert

p.s. If you are using the lab for training for cisco exams you may want to upgrade the IOS on the 2509 from 11.2, something like IOS Hunter will find you something newer for free.

Thanks Rob - this is helpful. Tell me, you have any insight as to the configuration on the receiving router, the one I telnet to? Any required configuration to the console line or otherwise?

Thanks again.

[...] otherwise?

My suggestion is make alias for commands for you, like: siib means "sh ip int brie". When you got them, can you work faster :)

Most likely it is because the line is in use...

(do a 'clear line x' where x is the line number with the asterisk next to it when you do a 'show line')

The other reason is because you don't have a 'transport input all' under line 1 8

Oh, yeah, don't forget a 'no exec' under line 1 8
