Strange, I've never seen Aux Ports in these type of switches. How were you
able to configure the Aux 0 in your SW1 ? And usually, the procedure is
connecting the Aux Port of one device to the Console Port of the other
device.

R1--Aux 0====Roll-Over-Cable=====Con 0--R2

Then you do a telnet to a local ip in R1 to get access to R2. The telnet
port is 2000+tty #.

Subject: Reverse telnet on Catalyst c3560, c3550, c2950 possible? 

Folks,

 

I can't  configure reverse telnet on my catalyst switches to use their
console ports as a terminal server. 

Did I miss something, or this is not an available feature on Catalyst c3560,
c3550, c2950 switches?

 

Here is the well known procedure (at least on Cisco routers):

Say, you want to access switch sw2 (it could be a router as well) via
reverse telnet from sw1. 

Join the console ports with a flat Cisco (roll-over) cable . 

 

 sw1 |CON|-----|CON| sw2

 

Don't need to do anything else on sw2 (except to set line-login and enable
passwords)

 

sw1(config)# line aux 0

sw1(config-line)# no exec

sw1(config-line)# transport input all

sw1(config-line)# transport output all

sw1(config-line)# stopbits 1

sw1(config-line)# exit

sw1(config)#

sw1(config)#

sw1(config)# int loopback0

sw1(config-if)# ip add 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

sw1(config-if)# end

sw1#

sw1# 

sw1# show line con 0

   Tty Line Typ     Tx/Rx    A Modem  Roty AccO

     0    CTY   9600/9600  -    -      -    -

sw1#

sw1# !-----*----line 0, 

sw1# !- then reverse-telnet on sw1-loobpack0 int, port 2000 +0,

sw1# !- to access sw2

sw1#

sw1#telnet 1.1.1.1  2000

sw1# Trying 1.1.1.1, 2000 ... 

% Connection refused by remote host

 

Just for curiosity, I have tried telnet port 2001 and physical interfaces as
well - to no avail.

 

sw1#telnet 1.1.1.1 2001

Trying 1.1.1.1, 2001 ... 

% Connection refused by remote host

 

sw1#telnet 192.168.0.18 2000

Trying 192.168.0.18, 2000 ... 

% Connection refused by remote host

 

sw1#telnet 192.168.0.18 2001

Trying 192.168.0.18, 2001 ... 

% Connection refused by remote host
