Hi Karim,

All that you'll need is:

interface loopback 0

ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y

line 1 16

transport input telnet

stopbits 1

and then do the reverse telnet:

telnet x.x.x.x 2nnn

where nnn = the line number, ex: if 8 then nnn = 008.

Before doing this do show line, and make sure that there is no * beside the line before doing this, and if there is a * do clear line x until the * disappear.

Be calm and take it easy and it will work.

I hope that i've been informative for you.

HTH, please rate if it does help,

Mohammed Mahmoud.

Hi, ocporbust

All the interfaces on the 2511 are shutdown. In that case, it is impossible to create any successful telnet session. Please type the following command sequence and see if it works for you?

config t

int lo0

ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.255

line 1 16

transport input telnet

no exec

end

telnet 172.16.1.1 2008

Hi Karim,

Can you please configure the loopback interface and use it instead of the ethernet interface.

And can you please post your configuration if the problem persists.

HTH, please rate all helpful posts,
