| How do you break those damn telnet sessions with the 500cs when the ip host command is used. The telnet functions works fine but when I press shift,ctrl,6 x.......nothing happens and it stays in that session. | |

I do Shift-Ctrl-6, x all the time and it works fine. You may want to double-check your terminal program -- it may be eating your ctrl keys.

| The telnet thing was my fault.............next question: When I am going from one session to the other, I always cancel one session before going to the next. Sometimes, after leaving one session and going back ito the same session I get the message connection refused. This happens quite often. I have four routers and it happens on all of them at different times. Could it be my exec-timeout setting. if I am logged out each time would that not allow me to log in again?

When the connection is refused, it means there is already an active connection on the console port you're trying to connect to.
It's best/easiest not to cancel your connections each time (use the exit command at your router prompt). Rather, stay logged in, leave with Shift-Ctrl-6, x, and use the sh sess (show sessions) command on the CS500 to see your connection numbers (Connection 1 is RouterA, etc). Then just type the connection number at the CS500 command prompt to resume your session with that router.
If you get a connection refused message, first do sh sess; you probably have an active and usable connection already in place. If not, use clear line tty # (where # is the CS500 port number for the router you can't get into) to reset the line from the CS500.

P.S. Did you ever solve your configuration file issue? | |
| devecchio 2002-05-20, 11:07 am |
| Yes, you did. I got the file and put it onto a tftp server. boot system filename a.b.c.d. Works fine. Thanx for the support. You are proving to be the man. one more question. I am yet to try the session thing with the cs500......still I would like to practice this while at work. granted, I am not allowed to touch the productions routers I have this nice setup at home. I am with cox cable and they issue ip addresses using a dhcp server. With my modem ubr924, I would have to enable cable-modem dhcp-proxy. This command allows you to use nat on a dhcp configured address. Once this is done how would I set the cs500 up to login from work assuming my dhcp address is pingable......mind you the cable modem has to allow the cs550 to get the ip address and the allowed address changes from time to time. in some cases every four hours. | |

| Personally, I set up an OpenBSD box as my firewall/nat/console box. The openbsd box is also connected to a cs516 via serial port. I configured an account on this box that uses a stripped down version of kermit as a shell, which then automatically connects to the serial port(/dev/tty00) to the console port of the cs516. From there, my lab environment is at my disposal, and seperated from my internal "production" network(you'ld have to root my openbsd box to get to that). This also allows for the devices(including the cs516) to be consoled into, therefore negating dependance on ethernet interfaces. I have to say i'm proud of my setup 
It sounds to me like you want to use the cs as the gateway for your internet connection. the cs doesnt support an ios that uses dhcp that i know of. You'll need to find another device to do your dhcp/NAT, then connect to the cs. | |

| Man, I love OpenBSD. Every time I install another service on my linux firewall, I wish I had the hardware to build a seperate OpenBSD firewall so I could run all that stuff seperately. I just don't trust linux like I do OpenBSD. It sounds like you have a pretty cool setup.
I just thought I'd share that. I miss old OpenBSD firewall.
