Re: 2911 Terminal/Comm Server config help

aray69 · ‎03-09-2012

We have just purchased a 2911 terminal Server, with 2 16 ports HWIC-16A cards. I have been looking for some example configs and how to configure this for connecting to console ports. I am not having any luck finding anything. Does anyone have a sample config??

Below are the interface types that we have. Do i just add an IP to these interfaces?

interface Async0/0/0

no ip address

encapsulation slip

!

interface Async0/1/0

no ip address

encapsulation slip

!

interface Async0/0/1

no ip address

encapsulation slip

!

interface Async0/1/1

no ip address

encapsulation slip

!

interface Async0/0/2

no ip address

encapsulation slip

!

interface Async0/1/2

no ip address

encapsulation slip

Thanks,

Alan

What is the part number for the module you have

here are the part numbers for 8, 16 and 32 port cards

HWIC-8A/S and HWIC-16A/SM-32A

I have the HWIC-16A modules.

The link you provided is for configuring a 2511, I have a 2911, with the interfaces shown above. I can't find any examples on how these would be configured.

Thanks,

You can follow this link. I just setup our OOB with same components as you have.

If you want to use the line for console connectivity then, leave the default config generated for the interface Asyncx/x/x and configure you line x/x/x

example:- If you want port of the HWIC-16A to console into some cisco device, then the config should look like this..

!

interface Async0/0/0

no ip address

encapsulation slip

!

line 0/0/0

login local

no exec

transport input all

stopbits 1

!

The above config will let you console into device connected to Async0/0/0 (port 0). You can then use telnet

Hope this helped.
