Console session disconnects while pasting config

mzinz

This happens to me all the time, and it always has, super annoying.

I will have a configuration in a .txt file, and paste it into a router using SecureCRT.

After a few lines (seems random... sometimes 5, sometimes 50), it will just stop dead in its tracks and I need to disconnect and reconnect.

Anyone else experience this?

I have experienced it with one of my desktop computers when using putty or secureCRT. It happens only on this one PC out of a few that I use. Never spent the time to figure out what it is as I do not use that computer that much when configuring devices.

Have you tried a different console cable or changed the console speed to a higher rate?

Also, are you using a physical RS-232 serial port, or a USB -> Serial adapter?

its highly likely a BAUD rate. try different BAUD rate

Thanks for the advice. I'm using a regular Cisco Console cable.

I will try changing the baud rate.
