lost it... remote access

laidbackfreak

ok guys n gals im sure there was a thread on here somewhere for a soloution to allow remote access to a lab via pc....

i think it was a case of pc connected to a switch (the switch connected to all other devices in the lab...) and then connect to each router\switch via that pc ?
does that make sense ? can anyone point me to the link.....

and fwiw my lab consists of

switch ---- router} {router

---

switch

---

router

---

firewall---- firewal

---

router----

switch

---

router } {router

---

switch

I' not really sure what your question is but I think the answer you're looking for is an access server connected to the console ports of all your routers and switches. Typically people use the 2509 (8 ports) or 2511 (16 ports). You can go beyond that and get a 26xx and put a nm-16a (16 ports) or a nm-32a (32 ports) if needed.

Hope this helps
