Any 2509 IOS version for TS? (cant suspend session now)

Delirious

Is any version of the 2509 IOS capable of being used as a TS server or is there only one version of IOS that supports this feature?

Netstudent

As long as you can create a Host table then you can make it a terminal server. TS isn't a feature set that is specific to some IOS. It's just a method of congiruing a HOstable on a router that has an Octal cable connection.

As long as it runs IP you're good.

for the configuration of the terminal lines you really only need to disable the exec to make it work, on some older ios versions you want to use the "flush-at-activation" command

line 1 8
no exec
flush-at-activation
transport input all

additionally you can use a "session-timeout 10" command to cause the session to timeout after 10 minutes of inactivity.

After this, put an IP address in the ethernet interface and you're ready to revers telnet to the devices connected to the term server

Remember to use the 2000 + the line number for the tcp port

telnet 10.1.1.1 2001

That would telnet the device on line 1

Thanks for the quick replies, link, and tips guys!

I was just wondering if 12.3.19 would be capable and now that i know its not a specific feature of any one IOS ill give it a try.

Ok i configured the 2509 as recomended above however when i telnet to one of the routers useing ctrl-shift-6 x doesnt suspend the session and i am stuck in the router i telneted to.

Im connecting to the 2509 via telnet and its configured:

Aux port is set as 192.168.1.1 and the computer i telnet from is on the same subnet.

loopback address is 10.0.0.10 255.255.255.0 (lab network is 10.0.0.0)

line 1 8
no exec
transport input all

ip host R1 2001 10.0.0.10

I can telnet to R1 using "telnet r1 2001" and once i get into R1 i am unable to go back to the 2509.

Am i overlooking something here?

Quit pretty much **** me out of the router, i get this message

"r3 con0 is now available"

"press RETURN to get started"

pressing return takes me back to the 2610 and not the 2509.

Heres the 2509 config
