Cisco Terminal Server

Today I have been setting up my new secure management network. This consists of a little segment behind a firewall that I will VPN to to get console access to critical routers in the network.

I had a 32 ASYNC module from ages ago and went about configuring it.

Mostly it was reasonably straight forward but I seemed to remember something about setting the modem type. So far I could get console access onto my PIx firewall and an old 2600 router acting as the console server. I just couldn't get the console on the switch working.

As it turns out, if you set the modem to DialIn then that gets the switch console working.

Useful information for anyone out there trying this.
