2511 Access server - BREAK not working!?

[CSCO12165174]

Hi guys,

I got an access server setup and got a couple issues.

First off is that after I establish a session to another router or switch I cannot get back to the access server!

I do "ctrl shift 6 x" and many variations of that as suggested by forums on the internet but I just cannot seem to get back to the access server which is very annoying.

Something which I noticed with the 2511 also is that it seems to be very slow.  e.g. just to erase startup config it took a good 5-7 seconds and was unresponsive while doing so?

Should that be the case?

Many thanks,

Josh

For the first problem, check, line configuration.

And yes an old 2511 is as slow as you described, or possibly even slower

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for that, I realize now how slow this thing is with certian things..but an absolute god send to use an access server

And for those looking about not being able to send a "break" command to their router/switch I changed my default break command to "Ctrl + Pause/Break (key)"

instead of: ctrl shift 6 x.

Works like a charm now.

I changed this by issuing the following command under conf t:

line 1 16

escape-character BREAK
