Re: problems reverse telnetting

5aschulz · ‎04-10-2007

I have a 2620 being used as a console server. I have an async 32A card in it with two octal cables connected to my deivces. When trying to reverse telnet to any of the lines, all I get is:

% Connection refused by remote host

Here is the configuration:

Line(s) not in async mode -or- with no hardware support:

2-32

What am I missing??

You can probably lose the "flowcontrol hardware" statement: Most devices (other than modems, and virtually all Cisco gear does not use hardware handshake (no handshake at all most of the time).

The "refused" message is likely because the harware handshake is not happening (the TermServ thinks the client is refusing the connection because it can't raise the handshake line).

Modems and connections to AUX ports will use the hardware handshake.

Give it a hot and let us know.

Good Luck

the flowcontrol statement is on line 1 which is a modem. The lines 33 to 64 are the async lines I'm using for the console connections and I do not have that configured for those lines.
