Connect aux to console port

Hi there !
I need set up a CPE aux port to connect to a console port os a PE. I made all the config, but I's not working yet. I thing it's a cable error.
I have already connect a straight and a crossover cable. I saw in a forum that rollover cable would work. What do you think ?

Cable to connect to LocalDirector console port

Hello,
my question is about getting access to the LocalDirector 430 through the console port: I thought it was just a regular rollover cable (with pins 1 through 8 reversed), but for some reason, that doesn´t seem to work. I know that there is a Cisco console kit for the LocalDirector, but does anybody know what the difference, if any, is between that console kit and a regular RJ-45 rollover cable ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Nethelper

Console cable and the rollover cable are one and the same. Any device with a console port should work with the roll over cable.

PC connect to admin console (port 7001) but not soa_server1 (port 8001)

Hello All,
I installed weblogic (11.1.1.4) and SOA suite on an Oracle Linux machine and I can access both the admin server and soa_server1 server from the host machine, but when trying to access from my PC I can only connect to the admin server on port 7001. The soa_server1 connection is refused from my PC.
Is there a setting I need in order to open up port 8001 to workstations other than the host machine?
Thanks,
John

OK, I already found the solution after reading the release notes for fusion middleware.
I has specified the "Listen Address" as the the server name. This restricted access to soa_server1 from the host machine. I fixed this my changing the "Listen Address" to a blank and re-starting soa_server1. Now I can access the SOA server from outside the host machine, as is required for PIP.

OOB management with console port

I would like to do the setup according to the doc - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_tech_note09186a00800941c9.shtml
The only disadvantage I see is from the following excerpt from the article -
"Warning: Unprotected modems should not be connected to the console port. The console ports do not log users off when the carrier detect is lost, which can leave a security hole. To avoid this, use a secure modem, or connect via the AUX port. For more information on the advantages and disadvantages of connecting a modem to the Console port, refer to the Modem-Router Connection Guide."
I know I could set an exec-timeout of 1 minute but that would still leave a small window of time for security breaches if the line drops.
Could someone tell me a particular modem that has a password built into it to overcome this problem? What is the best security practice in this case?
I have setup modems before on the aux port, but you cannot access the router after reload if it boots into ROMMON mode for some reason.
Thanks,
RJ

Hi,
As a workaround you can try using an old junk PC with 2 serial ports, install Linux on that PC, connect via terminal session using the modem attached to serial COM1 (modem in autoanswer mode just like you're doing now), login with username/password on the Linux machine and then use a terminal emulation software like Minicom to open serial port COM2 to get the IOS prompt from the router.
Maybe this option is too much hassle for your application, but it won´t cost you a dime and is not really that difficult.
Regards.

No AAA authentication on Console port

I would like to configure our routers to use our ACS server for authentication and enable authorization for all telnet access but not use the ACS when connected to the console port. I was able to get the router configured so that console username and password access was local. However, when I attempt to go into enable mode from the console port the router still goes after the ACS server for the enble password. How do I get around this?

Thanks this does help. However, I'm still running into and issue. My ultimate goal is to have all users authenticate and get enable access through our ACS server based on there corporate NT domain username/pw. If the ACS server is unavailable go to the local data base. This is working fine for user telneting to the routers and also works for the console port (if the ACS server is unavailable).
However, with the ACS server active, when I console in I authenticate based on the local database admin/cisco. But when I attempt to go into enable mode the router still goes after the ACS server for a password. I would like console port users to always use the local enable password.
I'm just trying to protect myself from a possible misbehaved ACS server.

CISCO 1721 :// No Echo/Response from CONSOLE Port

I have a CISCO 1721 I found in my 'stuff' when I was moving and I want to use it as a home router. Connecting to the CONSOLE port I get nothing echo'ed back. I confirmed connection hardware (USB=>Serial/Roll-Over cable, etc) by consoling into my CISCO 1841 lab router.
Other things I've tried are:
1) Wireshark'ed CONSOLE port - nothing;
2.) Wireshark'ed the AUX port - nothing;
3.) Wireshark'ed the ETH port - looks like 'normal' data.
I wanted to see if I could access the CONFIG from the AUX port by directly connecting my Laptop w/ a Roll-Over cable but not sure how to do that w/out a modem. Any suggestions from anyone??
Best regards....

The aux port is not restricted to use for modem. Depending on how the router is configured you might be able to start an exec session, get into privilege mode, and access the configuration of the router. I have been successful on similar routers connecting the console cable to the aux port and accessing the router.

Can't Connect ASDM and Console Forces User Name: & Password: Prompts

After pulling a brand new ASA 5515 out of the box this morning, I spent countless hours scratching my head wondering why:
1. I cannot establish an HTTPS connection to the Management port - https://192.168.1.1/admin
2. When connecting via the console port I get prompted with a username and password sequence that I don't know
I get an SSL Version Error message when I try to connect with any browser. although I did find a way to resolve it, it requires a console port connection which is not working either.
This is not my typical experience with the console or ASDM port setup. What is going on? Any help from anyone would be so appreciated.
Thank you,
Richard

Hmm,
To my understanding Console connection on a fresh unit shouldnt ask for a username and it shouldnt even have an enable password (should be able to leave it blank and press enter). Or atleast that is how I remember it.
I am not sure if the new ASA5500-X models are different.
I think on when using ssh (or was it telnet) without username configured required you to use username pix and password cisco to log in.

Console port on ASR1000 not accessible?

HI
I have two ASR 1000 and I am not able to console into them. I have tested my console cable by connecting it to a 7206 and it works 100%. When connecting it to the ASR I am not receiving any output.
I have restated bot of the ASR’s and I experience exactly the same problem on both. Do I need a different console cable for a ASR than for a 7206 perhaps?
Thanks
Willem

So the console must be ok;
and be sure you connect the right console port of ASR 1000.
I hope this can help you:)

Console Port

We have an ASA5550, ver. 7.1(2). When I connect to the Console port, it prompted for the user name and password. I entered the user name and password. Then, the cursor just stayed there. There was no error message. I rebooted the ASA and still got the same problem. I also entered a different user name and password and still got the same problem. I also changed the Console cable and still got the same error. Is there a way to fix the problem? Do you have any suggestions?
By the way, I did not see the green lights on the Console port. There were no lights on the Console port. Thanks.
Diane

Since when does the console ports have lights? Have a look at this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa72/hw/installation/guide/asach3_ps6120_TSD_Products_Installation_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1052607
Are you connecting to the jack labeled '19' in this diagram?
If so, once you telnet from the management port, enter this:
show run aaa
And then post it offer here.

Is It possible connect two router**from console port to console port

Hi,
I need this for doing reverse telnet.
Thanks very much

No
you can connect router 1's aux port to router 2's console port.
line aux 0
password blablabla
login
modem InOut
transport input all
find the aux port's line number which depends on the router model then telnet to a live ip on router 1 on that port.

Catalyst switch hangs when connecting via console port

Hi,
I've just started work for a company - they have no network documentation or knowledge of their current set-up whatsoever.
For the LAN in the office they have Cisco Catalyst WS-C3524-XL switches. But it doesn't seem like these are even configured with an IP address for management purposes.
So, I thought I would connect via a console cable to have a look at their configurations and also to investigate some performance problems some users were having on the LAN.
BUT - when I connected to the console cable, all the switch LEDs stopped flickering happily and went solid and everyone in the office lost their network connectivity! (I wasn't popular!)
Rebooting the switch with the console port still connected had no effect - the LEDs remained solid and there was no network connectivity. However, when I removed my console cable, everything started working again!
Does anyone have any ideas a) what can have caused this and b) how I can resolve this problem and connect to the switches without disrupting all the other users!
Note: I subsequently connected to a spare WS-C3524-XL switch using the same laptop and same console cable without any problems.

Hi,
thanks for the response.
no, I can't login to the switch(es) at all. There seems to be no response from hyperterminal at all. (Then I noticed that the LEDs had gone "solid" and that everyone started to complain they had lost network connection!)
Even when I powered off and powered on the switch with the console port still connected, nothing appeared on the hyperterminal screen.
However, as mentioned, I'm able to connect to one of our spare switches using the same settings, same laptop, and same console cable - so I guess that would rule these things out as being the cause?
Its definitely a strange one, especially as it seems to be affecting all 3 of the live switches!

Conect two routers over console port

Hi Guys ,
How conect two routers or firewall over console port for manager ?
Thanks
Jorge

Hi Jorge,
I do not believe that you can connect to devices over console ports.
I have in the past connected from an aux port on a router to a console port on a switch using one of the old RJ45-RJ45 rollover cables Cisco used to ship with DB9-RJ45 adapters before they starting shipping DB9-RJ45 console cables.
You should be able to use the configuration in the document at the link below as a starting point.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_configuration_example09186a008014f8e7.shtml
This document is for a terminal server with 16 async ports. The config below should be ok for an aux port.
ip host switch 2001 172.21.1.1
interface Loopback1
ip address 172.21.1.1 255.0.0.0
line aux 0
session-timeout 20
no exec
exec-timeout 0 0
Please rate if helpful.

Front end and console ports are down for switch WS-C3750X-48PF-S

We have a switch WS-C3750X-48PF-S in the stack and front end and console ports stopped working and are down.
I have tried to replug power cable but this didn't help, please let me know if I could replug stack power for this switch without outage of other switches in the stack, since switches are connected into the ring
Please let me know what might be the possible root cause
#sh switch stack-ports
  Switch # Port 1 Port 2
    2 Down Ok
    3 Ok Ok
    4 Ok Down

Hello,
There is a problem with the stacking connection between switch 4 and 2. Can you try replacing the stacking cable between these switches?

I am having the above mentioned problem now after resetting my IE browser back to previous version from IE 9. It used to just say "cannot display webpage" and then in a second or two take me to the EM when I was using IE 9; but now it just doesn't connect. Any help is appreciated, I am preparing for OCA exam and therefore need all these tools to actually learn.
