Dial-Out over AUX-Port

Contactman · ‎12-03-2009

Hi Community,

i have the follow problem:

Cisco-2800 (AUX) ---> analog-modem A <----> analog-modem B ---> serial-port (VT100)

As shown above, the Cisco connect to the modem A and be elected to the modem B.

Once there is a dial-up connection should to connect to a serial console.

So far, already works as follow:

An IP from the LAN section of the router connect to the Dial Interface

constructed and selected the appropriate telephone number for the

modem B. Unfortunately it didn't comes a prompt for the serial device.

To cut a long story short: Here's the config:

And what is the application of the a IP.

Thanks

Hi keisikka@163.com,

The serial-device is a normal serial-device without ip-address. I can connect to it with Putty over Serial.

But now we want make a connection over the AUX-Port with modem connection.

When someone (in the LAN) make a telnet session to a IP-address, the router will link it to a telephonenumber

and open a serial-session. That's the theory.

In my understanding.

Telnet is a application depends on tcp/ip, so there shold has a connection betweem hosts.

However, serial shold has a connection over RS232.

If I mistake,please inform me.

Hello Daniel,

in configuring an IOS router to act as a terminal server we can associate the usage of an async line to a specific host

you need to get the AUX line number from the output of sh line, it is typically 1.

int loop1

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.255

the TCP port to be used for reverse telnet is 2000+ line#

example:

ip host vt100 10.10.10.1 2001

Your case is different.

You need a L3 device on the other end to be able to use DDR dial out as explained here:

https://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080094579.shtml

if you haven't a L3 IP device on the other end, you should look at terminal server and your trigger is the telnet to the host as defined above

Hope to help

Giuseppe
