2511 connect async port to console on Sun box

[xtrac]

Howdy Folks,

I was wondering if I could get some help with this problem, I have a 2511 thats configured so I can telnet to it no problem, and connect to it on an async port using hyperterminal on a w2k laptop, again no problem.

Now the bit I need help with, I want to connect an async port to the console (db25) port on a Sun box, so I can reboot from home and still see the 'ok>' prompt from the console. So I set it up to use port 2, have the 'ip host blah 2002 x.x.x.x' where x.x.x.x is a loopback interface (so its always up). now if i telnet to 'blah' i get the following line.

Trying blah (x.x.x.x, 2002)... Open

and then nothing happens? any clues?
or do you need more info?

Thanks in advance

First thought make sure that you type (exec) on the line # associated with the async port . this enables you to receive the router prompt .

interface Serial3/0
physical-layer async
no ip address
no ip route-cache
no ip mroute-cache
no peer default ip address

line 97
no exec
no exec-banner
exec-timeout 0 0
no vacant-message
transport input all
databits 7
parity odd
stopbits 1
speed 1200

router#sh line
Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns Int
0 CTY - - - - - 4 1 0/0 -
* 97 TTY 1200/1200 - - - - - 4 76 0/0 Se3/0
* 98 TTY 4800/4800 - - - - - 2 12 0/0 Se3/1
99 TTY 1200/1200 - - - - - 3 1 0/0 Se3/2
* 100 TTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 3 0 0/0 Se3/3

make sure data, parity, stopbits , and speeds match . This should work find #-) I hope this helps, Good Luck !!!

Hi jeter,

I'm totally new at this cisco stuff, here's what mine looks like

line 2
no exec
no exec-banner
exec-timeout 0 0
no vacant-message
special-character-bits 8
transport input all
escape-character BREAK
parity even
stopbits 1

Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns
0 CTY - - - - - 0 0 0/0
1 TTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 0 1 0/0
2 TTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 18 0 0/0
3 TTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 13 0 0/0
4 TTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 9 0 0/0


what did you mean by type (exec) on the line # associated with the port? I don't have anything like the Serial intrface you showed, I just have the Serial0 and Serial1 which are both shutdown.

Also I can telnet to the 2511 on port 2002 and i get a connection with nothing happening, and the line 2 has a * to indicate busy on it. sorry I didn't mention it beforehand

I think we may want to be looking at something else here . I should have looked before at the 2511 I see 2 serial int , db15 AUI, 2 scsi, a cosole port , and a aux . Please email me with your # so we can talk about this . Jeter@LasVegas.com the email server has been slow, however I will get back to you ASAP .
