How do I connect remotely to my switch or router?

[djchitown]

Hello, I have four 2521 routers and three 2954 switches.  I connected my ISPs modem from the ethernet port and plugged it into port 24 of one of my switches.  I also configured the switch for VTY access and gave it a login password.  I would like to log into the switch to configure it and telnet into all the other devices from a remote location.  But I am unable to ping the public address assigned to me by my ISP.  So I can't even telnet to the switch.  Help

Hi djchitown,

When physically access the 2521 router you below test:

1. Ping to 8.8.8.8

2. Telnet to internal pc

3. You must be configure Enable password.

Before you telnet from remote location first you check the ping test then you telnet.

I hope it could help you

Regards
