Greetings folks. Hope things have been going well. I've been out of the certification game for a little while (due to purchase of a house, marriage, new job, etc. etc.). I'm getting ready to restart CCNP though, oh joy
I'm seeing a very strange issue that I was hoping one of you guru's could perhaps shed some light on. First though, some back story.
I remembered that folks on this forum like to use the 2509/2511 for console access to their devices so I talked to my coworker about putting one in our data center with a dial up line for out of band access to our devices. Next thing I know, he comes back with a 2511, unearthed from the "pile" and I've been setting it up for the scenario described above.
We've not got our POTS line installed yet, but mostly everything else is done. I can reverse telnet from the 2511 to all of the attached devices. The problem I'm seeing though is that my username/password is failing. I can log on when directly connected to the devices in question via console cable, my coworker can log on via reverse telnet from the 2511 and console cable.
Needless to say, this implementation is of little use to me if I can't log on
There is one solitary device of about 10 that I can log on to and it's a 2600 router with apparently the same console line configs as the other devices. The other inaccessible devices consist of blade center Cisco switches, ASA 5550s, Cat 4948s, F5s, and 2960Gs.
I've tried changing my password to something very uncomplex (I thought maybe the term server wasn't passing certain characters) to no avail.
Here's the config on the access server:
