Learning has never been so easy!

Reverse Telnet gives you the ability to telnet to a device, and then console to another device from there. For example, you could telnet to a router, and then console into a switch, or a modem, or anything that has a console port. There are alot of devices out there that dont have remote access built into them, their only option is a console. REVERSE TELNET ON AUX PORT.docx. Hi all,Greetings!!Am working in a firm that have more than 10 Cisco switches connected to one core master switch via SFP. The easiest way to get your arms around the concept of reverse telnet is to start with the concept of forward telnet. Forward telnet is what's commonly referred to as 'telnet.' It is the process in which a line on the router accepts a connection on a terminal line interface.

Configuring the Terminal Server. This section demonstrates how to configure a terminal server to provide access to the rest of the routers in the lab. Once configured, you will be able access each lab router's console port through reverse Telnet. Lab Objective. In this chapter, you will accomplish the following lab objective. Reverse Telnet 1. Configure the AUX port. Then you must create a loopback addresss. Now you must find out what 'line' the router uses for the AUX port. REVERSE TELNET ON AUX PORT.docx.

Reverse telnet is a specialized application of telnet, where the server side of the connection reads and writes data to a computer terminal line (RS-232 serial port), rather than providing a command shell to the host device. Typically, reverse telnet is implemented on an embedded device (e.g. terminal/console server), which has an Ethernet network interface and serial port(s). Through the use of reverse telnet on such a device, IP-networked users can use telnet to access serially-connected devices.

In the past, reverse telnet was typically used to connect to modems or other external asynchronous devices. Today, reverse telnet is used mostly for connecting to the console port of a router, a switch or other device.

Step 1: -- Begin How-To --

Access your router console. For this example I have connected via the blue Cisco rollover console cable to the router console port and my laptop serial port and also again with the blue Cisco console cable from the AUX port of the router to the serial port of the PDU device. Also it is presumed that the IP Address 10.0.0.1 is not currently in use.

Step 2: Copy and paste the following commands into your terminal application. (TIp: you can do the whole block at once):

enable
configure terminal
interface Loopback1
description Reverse Telnet Loopback
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
!
line aux 0
modem InOut
no exec
transport input telnet
transport output none
stopbits 1
speed 2400
!
end
clear line 65
!
telnet 10.0.0.1 2065

Press enter once or twice to receive the login prompt from the AP9211 PDU device.

Step 3: Disconnect from telnet session.

When finished you can hold down the keyboard combo: 6 then release the keyboard combo and immediately press the letter 'x' (without quotes) to pause the Reverse Telnet session.

Type: disconnect and press Enter

Step 4: Step-by-step explaination

Enter Privileged Mode of the router.
enable
Enter Configure Terminal Mode of the router.
configure terminal
Enter Loopback Interface Mode
interface Loopback1
description Reverse Telnet Loopback
Assign IP Address to Loopback interface
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Exit back to Configure Terminal Mode
!
Enter Line AUX Mode
line aux 0
Set Serial port settings
modem InOut
no exec
transport input telnet
transport output none
stopbits 1
speed 2400
Exit back to Configure Terminal Mode
!
Exit Configure Terminal Mode back to Privileged Mode
end
Clear the Serial AUX interface to prepare to access Serial Port. You can identify which TTY number the AUX port is listed as by typing the command: show line
clear line 65
!
Telnet to Serial AUX port at port 2065. If you found that your TTY number is not 65, then you can figure out the port number by adding 2000 + TTY# (i.e. 2000 + 65 = 2065)
telnet 10.0.0.1 2065

Refresh the screen
4. Press enter once or twice to receive the login prompt from the AP9211 PDU device.

Use this special key combo to break the telnet session back to a router prompt.
5. When finished you can hold down the keyboard combo: 6 then release the keyboard combo and immediately press the letter X to pause the Reverse Telnet session.

Disconnect from the telnet session permanently.
6. Type: disconnect and press Enter Labview serial number.

Well, there you have it.
If you are like me and could not locate the correct console cable for your PDU that has been in storage for 10 years and happened to have a cisco router with an RJ45 aux port which also happened to have been in storage for 10 years and you happened to have two cisco console cables laying around, then you can use your router to access the serial interface of your PDU in order to reset the password that you forgot 10 years ago. Doh!
