terminal emulation and port redirection 1

[douglasemc]

hi
could anybody tell me a good terminal emulation program to connect to a cisco router 2600 series, other that putty?

and how do i do this: "Forward inbound WAN traffic from ports 8767 TCP and 8768 TCP to internal IP
10.80.xx.xx which is the Oaisys server.”

thanks a lot

I use HyperTerminal (built-in Windows),PuTTy, and Tera Term. The commands to forward ports (static NAT for what you ask are as follows...

router>en
router#conf t
router(config)#ip nat inside source static tcp 10.80.xx.xx 8767 int (outside int) 8767
Let's say int di0 is the outside interface...
router(config)#ip nat inside source static tcp 10.80.xx.xx 8767 int di0 8767

thanks i didn't know about HyperTerminal
now the router address is, for instance, the private addresses are 10.90.5.25 to 254, so the router should be 10.90.5.1 right?
i do that but it doesn't connect to it

Usually, the gateway (or router) is the first useable IP in the block, so if your mask is /24, then yes---the router should be (but does not have to be) 10.90.5.1
Now what exactly do you mean by "i do that but it doesn't connect to it"---what are the two "its" in that statement?
Are you trying to console to the router? If so, an IP address is not used to do this. If you are trying to connect via telnet or something, then the IP address is used. Please explain what you are unable to do.

i do that: input the ip address: 10.90.5.1 in to Hyperterminal using the tcp/ip(winsock) and port 23

it doesn't connect to it: hyperterminal doesn't connect to the router

i can connect however, directly using a com1 port

thanks B

That IS how you connect using HyperTerminal---through the COM1 port. If you wanted to connect using the IP address, just go to a command prompt and type
telnet 10.90.5.1
and it should work. If not, then post a sh run from the router and we can probably tell you why.
