hey guys,
I'm finally getting around to my 2511 now that I have a transceiver for the AUI port.
I tried checking out websites that show you how to configure the octal cables and I seem to be missing something pretty important. I am getting this error when trying to connect to one of my routers.
here's my config.
Thoughts? this is the 2511 with the octal cables, not the RJ-45 one...
I'm currently consoled into the 2511.

When I try clear line, it says invalid command. I have to put in a line number like: clear line 1
It said "OK" but it didn't seem to make any difference... -

type in 1 instead of the Router Name after first time of connecting. I had same problem. You can show line and clear line as tiersten explain. Remember the name is associated with the line like 2001.CCNA, MCP, MCSA, MCSE, MCDST, MCITP Enterprise Administrator, Working towards Networking BS. CCNP is Next. -

One other thing on the Router or Switch connecting too did you type under line console 0 login and set no password? I did this and was not able to get in through console port. I had to reset the entire switch.CCNA, MCP, MCSA, MCSE, MCDST, MCITP Enterprise Administrator, Working towards Networking BS. CCNP is Next.

To make sure I jumped on my router and went to the console line and typed this:
no login
no password
When I issue show run, it doesn't seem to show these two commands though, but when I directly console to the router, I get right in, it doesn't ask for password. I think it has AAA new-model enabled though, that shouldn't be problem though right?line con 0 exec-timeout 0 0 privilege level 15 logging synchronous
I'm going to turn on another device and try to connect, let's see if it's the 2511 or the 1811 router...
I also tried typing just "1" and even "2001", it didn't do anything... -

I tried cable #8 plugged into my switch. Same results below:

telnet 192.168.168.1 2001
Now I'm starting to get concerned.....
Router#telnet 192.168.168.1 2001 Trying 192.168.168.1, 2001 ... % Connection refused by remote host Router#telnet 192.168.168.1 2008 Trying 192.168.168.1, 2008 ... % Connection refused by remote host Router#

I don't understand, how can the connection be refused?
Both devices don't have login/password on their consoles.
When I plug directly to their console ports, I get right in....

I had the same problem as well.
What does sh sessions list?
I would also save the config and reload the router. -

I'll go ahead and reload the router. Here's my SHOW SESSIONS as well as my SHOW VERSION just for FYI....Router#sh sessions % No connections open Router#

I got it working. Here's what I was missing...
Router(config)#line 1 16 Router(config-line)#transport input telnet Router(config-line)#exit

Do:
line 1 16
no exec
Yeah, I just found this command online, didn't know it existed since it's my first access server! But I'm relieved now that it works!
whew!! -

notgoing2fail I went through the same thing with you. Took me almost 3 hrs to get it up but I learned from scratch. I forgot about that command. I just got one last week. Let me tell you it frigging helps out so much to have this. I actually have IP address associated with mine and I just telnet into that now

notgoing2fail,
Another thing to look out for (or maybe its just mine)... but I sometimes have to clear the same line more than once. To prevent the connection from being refused... This doesn't happen too often, but it typically happens when I telnet to the router from one PC and then console to the router from my other PC... just a little FYI. I hope this helps.We cannot have a superior democracy with an inferior education system!

Glad we're on the same page. I thought I might have gotten either bad octal cables or just a bad 2511. This can cause a lot of grief for new 2511 owners. Many links I checked out before asking for help were of no help until I got lucky on that last command....

I've been getting them because I've been moving things around. I completely forgot about clearing the lines. So I've been reloading the router.
You live and learn....many of these commands won't ever transfer to other routers so it's hard to remember...
