secure crt and hyperterminal

gaby_978

ok i have 2 router going to a switch with ethernet cables. they have serial connections but i havent received the cables yet. i have router1 plug to my pc using an console cable. i can get into router1 using hyperterminal and from router1 i can telnet to router only using the ip address. how can i set it up that i can telnet into either router using the router name.

Also i have secure crt whic lets me go into either router but just one at a time. i think because i only have one router connected to my pc with a console cable. do i need another serial connector on my pc and have each router plug individually to each seria port or is there a better way to set this up?

Thank You


PS
I would like to use secure crt because you are able to open different connection on different tabs.

ip host router1 "ip address"

allows you to telnet to router 1 from router2 by just typing router1

if you want to have simulataneous access to both routers through console, you will need a an Access server. or you can telnet into both routers after you establish connectivity by configuring it for VTY access and configuring a password for the privilege mode

or you can talnet into both routers after you extablish connectivity by configuring it for VTY access

i setup the vty access but i can only telnet to one at time. lets say i go into router1 using hyperterminal. after im in router1 i can telnet into router2 by ip address only. i want to use secure crt and open the router1 connection in one tab and router2 on another. i only have router1 plug to my pc with a console cable.

Bassically i want to be able to have both connection running at the same time just in defferent tabls.

to telnet between the routers with the ip host command. just set each router up with the other's hostname and ip addres.. and make sure they're connected and such.


so say you have RouterA and RouterB, there serial interfaces are 192.168.2.1(a) and 192.168.2.2(b)

on RouterA you'd enter:
ip host RouterB 192.168.2.2

RouterB:
ip host RouterA 192.168.2.1

of course, where RouterA is in the ip host command you could put anything.

ok i got that part working thank you very much but my main concern is how to open 2 connections 1 for each router at the same time. either using hyperterminal or secure crt so i dont have to keep telneting from one router to the other.

Some people at work use crt and they connect to different router on different tabs at the same time. i am on vaca and wont go back to work till next week.
