Hi,
This is obviously not quite a conserver question, rather a question about
how to effectively use a cisco terminal server as a console server (which
I then use with conserver).
When the device to which a console is connected is powered off, the
cisco allows a single connection and then disconnect, but then leaves
the line "logged in" despite the TCP disconnect and so future connections
are refused.
e.g.
conserver>sh line
Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns Int
...
38 TTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 0 0 0/0 -
fenestro% telnet 135.197.18.3 2038
Trying 135.197.18.3...
Connected to 135.197.18.3.
Escape character is '^]'.
conserver line 38 cubix06-console
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
fenestro% telnet 135.197.18.3 2038
Trying 135.197.18.3...
telnet: connect to address 135.197.18.3: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
conserver>sh line
Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns Int

* 38 TTY 9600/9600 - - - - - 2 0 0/0 -
...
conserver>sh users
Line User Host(s) Idle Location
...
38 tty 38 incoming 00:01:01 fenestro.attlabs.att.com
Line 38 is configured as:
line 38
location cubix06-console
no exec
exec-timeout 0 0
transport input telnet
transport output none
flowcontrol hardware
and the terminal server is running
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-I-M), Version 12.0(14), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
(Why is this a problem? When a device gets into this state, conserver
can force the line down and so will miss its bootup messages, which might
be important/relevant.)
Thanks,
Bill
