configuration of 2511 as a terminal server in lab conditions

[admin_2]

Hi,

I have a lab with 1 2511 and 4 2501 and 1 2514.

I would like some confguration tips and examples for the following scenario:

The 2511 wil act a terminal server for reverse telnet access on the 4 2501 routers.

Since we are talking about laboratory conditions I would like to know how to configure the 2514 as a gateway router for the 2511 in order to have the workstations that belong to the same network of 2514 able to reverse telnet through the 2511.

Another issue is that i want to configure the 2511 to use a back-up modem connected to the aux port for restoring reverse telnet in case something goes wrong with the gateway router.

Is it possible to connect two modems together to simulate a call with out the need of PBX?(imagine that for the back-up issue i'm thinking of using a workstation with a modem connected to it and if it is possible connect this modem with an rj-11 cable to the line in of the modem that will be connected to aux port of the 2511 access server.)

Thank you in advance

Geoff

Here is the sample config for 2511 as a terminal server.

Now you can connect two routers back to back over the AUX ports without using a modems or pbx in between. That will be useful too in your case. Here is the sample config for that too.
