Console Connection

I'm just curious if I've missed anything. Now that no one is making laptops with COM ports any longer, and it looks like desktops will soon be following suit, how is Cisco planning on handling the Console connection in the future? My laptop died and I am having a heck of a time reconfiguring routers, since many of them are in phone closets far away from the nearest desktop.

Well, for the short term, you can use some/most USB->RS232 adapters on the laptop.
Beware though: not all of them support "COM:x" style communication (or they support it, but just don't work with some terminal programs).
In the long term, I'd expect that Cisco will shift to USB. Most of the new stuff has some flavor of USB connection.
Blame Intel; they're the ones working so hard to get rid of the legacy connections (PS2 Keyboard, Mouse, and serial ports).
If you have a couple devices per closet, your other option might be a one, two or four-port terminal server; then you can telnet in from your desktop and save youself the walk to the closet.
It's still a serial connection to the device, so you can change IP addresses, masks, & such and reboot ...
The last time I checked, the two-port term servers were well under US$100.

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting?

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting? Please suggest if there is any best prctice documentation that can be referred.

Hi Henrik
depend on what you need or what your security policy says for my lab gear i use 60 minutes. because i know how can access this. if you have gear outside in insecure space set it to a minimum or disable the console. everybody how can access your gear can break in. simple restart and boot w/o config. and you are in.
it realy depends how secure is your space and how much security you need.
and than the settings for policy have to match, what sec do you have if your console login and logout is secure. but when you restart you can simple break in by starting w/o config and than load it.

Bluetooth Serial and Cisco Console connections?

This may be the wrong forum for this, but network management was the closest fit i could find...
(First off, I agree that console connections are not preferred, SSH, HTTPS, SNMP all have their advantages, but when something goes down or stops responding to normal methods the amount of time and frustration that can be saved by not having to search for "that one laptop that has a serial port" or "my specific laptop that has the USB-Serial driver installed" is invaluable.)
With the proliferation of tablet devices (ipad, cius, samsung's proposed, etc.), add to it a serious lack of serial ports on most laptops/netbooks/etc being released. It's getting harder and harder to connect to console ports on cisco devices. USB to serial adapters fit the bill for now, provided you had the right drivers to run the adapter on your device (read: doesn't address tablets and smartphones).
I understand that the cisco console connection is considered "legacy" and that USB connections are becoming more popular with newer Cisco devices, but in the meantime it would be nice to manage my slice of the millions of "legacy" devices out there.
Bluetooth serial seems to hold promise, though the serial features of bluetooth aren't typically incorporated into most devices right now. What i guess I'm looking for is a way to manage my router and switch console ports from a smart phone or tablet device.
Has anyone seen anything like this out there right now?
I would think that Cisco would be interested in marketing such a feature with their new Cius, or an iPod or Android app. Even if it cost a couple of bucks for the adapter or the software, it would be well worth it to be able manage these devices in a pinch.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

I agree, it wold be handy to have.
One thing some of us use is iSSH on the iPhone or iPad. Straight across the in-house wi-fi LAN if there's a working one in house or via the VPN tunnel if not. The use cases of no w-fi, no VPN or an unresponsive box are still not addressed by that solution though.

New Cisco USB Console connection

Hi Guys,
We have just started installing the Cisco X range switches which have the new type of console connection
If I download the drivers for the mini usb console connection from the Cisco site, will these work for all switch and router types?????

All switches/routers that have the new usb console connection, yes it will.

Console connection to Windows Console via RDP

RDP 5.2 has the option of connecting to the console of a Windows Terminal Server. Is this also possible from SGD?
There is no option for the console connection for /opt/tarantella/bin/bin/ttatsc
SGD version is 4.2
Thanks in adavance,
Remold Krol

In the article you posted (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278845/ )
I can read:
MORE INFORMATION
In Windows Server 2003, when you use Terminal Services, you can connect to the console session (session 0), and at the same time, open a shadow session to it (as long as you connect from a session other than the console). With this added functionality, you can log on to a Windows Server 2003-based server that is running Terminal Services remotely and interact with session 0 as if you were sitting at the physical console of the computer. This session can also be shadowed so that the remote user and the local user at the physical console can see and interact with the same session.
if I connect via the command mstsc -v:servername /F -console as you describe, in task manager I see my connection with id 0...

Multiple vnc console connections for guest vm

Is there anyway to allow multiple computers to connect to the same guest VNC console?
I noticed in the vm.cfg there were multiple VNC options and I attempted to play with them to see if I could get multiple console connections to work. After editing the file and restarting the guest vm I couldn't get multiple connections. The VM Server users guide didn't provide any clarity on what the VNC commands in the vm.cfg do, just some examples of guest configs. Can anyone enlighten me on how to do this or possibly refer to a link if this question has been asked in the past.
Thanks,
nathan

Q1:Is there anyway to allow multiple computers to connect to the same guest VNC console?
I suggest that you config/start vnc server on guest OS, and you may connect it from different computers. it make sense for you?
Q2:Can anyone enlighten me on how to do this or possibly refer to a link if this question has been asked in the past.
Pleaser refer to this link to know more about VNC options in vm.cfg.

How to speed up Hyper-V VM (console) Connection?

Hi all;
Are there any ways to speed up VM connection from Hyper-V Manager console or Failover Cluster Manager console?
Thanks
Please VOTE as HELPFUL if the post helps you and remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading
the thread.

"for the logon page to appear" is a pretty subjective thing. I can think of many reasons that it takes time for the logon page to appear that have absolutely nothing to do with the VMconnect.exe application nor Hyper-V.
We would need something more concrete to venture any guesses at solutions.
If you want to be specific to the VM console appearing from the time you double click - then you have something.
But you still need to ensure that the VM is 'ready' - as you want to focus on the console connection and not any actions that you need to perform against the VM such as clicking ctrl+alt+del - as the speed of that action and the logon appearing is
related to your hardware and the configuration of the VM.
Also, is the VM console connection local or remote? A remote connection will take longer as the connection needs to be formed and then the VM console pulled through - a remote connection is always slower - use RDP direct to the VM and the VM console
as a backup.

Checking console connection on ASA

Hi all,
Need to confirm which config i should look for to make sure ASA has console connection enabled
i check on ASDM under AAA access serial option is not checked.
What should i look in running config to make sure console is enabled?
thanks
mahesh

Also,
Since you dont see the setting "checked" under ASDM that to my understanding just means that the Console connection doesnt use any external AAA server for authentication OR doesnt use local username/password to authenticate.
You should be able to get to the command prompt without giving any credentials. You will though have to give an enable password naturally when using the command "enable"

RDP to Windows 8 or 8.1 issues - admin or console connection not working

Hi,
I have a number of issues when connecting to my Win8 Pro (and now Win8.1 Pro) machine via RDP. First off, I know that most of the issues I am about to list below should technically be resolved if I connect to the console or admin session of my machine, however
they don't.
The issues I am having are:
1. If the user is already logged in, when I connect I get a black screen for a few minutes before I can actually see the desktop, etc
2. If there is no user logged in already, then when I connect I get a black screen and then never actually see the desktop, therefore I have to reboot the machine, physically log into the machine and then I am able to RDP successfully.
Note: I have done some research on issues # 1 & 2 and I think this is because of my Nvidia drivers - as I have a Nvidia GTX660 Ti installed.
Although issues #1 and #2 are annoying, they are nothing like the issue I am experiencing below:
3. Once I am logged in and can access and use the machine, no matter if I am connected to the console session of the machine or not, I can't run most applications. For example if I start Command Prompt, or try and access any Control Panel item, or System
Properties, etc I get the following error:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application."
4. In addition, I can't do any kind of administrative function on the machine I am RDP'ing. I can't install software, I can't access any form of system setting, I can't power on VMs in VMware Workstation, etc.
The user I am logging in as is a local administrator and I am connecting to (or at least I am trying to) connect to the console session of the machine. I have tried this from the following different setups:
1. Another Windows 8.1 Pro running mstsc /admin and just normal mstsc
2. From my Mac using Microsoft Remote Desktop app and ensuring I select the "Connect to Console session" option
TROUBLESHOOTING:
================
In order to attempt to resolve this problem, I have done the following troubleshooting:
1. From the problematic Win8.1 Pro machine, I have RDP'd (via mstsc /admin) to my other Win 8.1 Pro machine. I have tested running cmd, installing apps, etc, etc and I have been able to do everything just as I should. To me this means that there is some
sort of configuration issue between the two machines.
2. Based on the information from #1 above, I have compared the following settings between the two machines and have set them to be exactly the same:
- User Accounts - same settings (local admin, etc) + UAC disabled
- Windows Firewall - both on and set to default settings
- Local Groups have the same members - Local Administrators, Remote Desktop Users, etc
- Remote Desktop enabled and set to least restrictive option (less secure option)
- Local Security Policy - Checked Local Security Settings to ensure all settings are exactly the same
- Local Group Policy - in particular for Remote Desktop settings - both exactly the same configuration
- No additional 3rd party apps are installed on either machine which I think could cause these issues (other than Nvidia Graphics Card drivers on my problematic machine)
3. Done extensive internet research and can't seem to find any information or people having the same issue as myself
4. Clean install of Windows 8 Pro and tested - same issue. Installed all latest drivers, Windows Updates, etc c- same issue. Upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro - same issue.
5. Created a new local administrator user and tested - same issue
6. Checked event viewer and can't seem to find any specific error that would give insight into what is causing this issue
At this point, I have come to a dead-end as I am not sure what else I can try to resolve this issue. If issues #1 and #2 can't be resolved, then I am happy to "live" with them, however the rest of the issues are really frustrating as they are preventing
me from easily achieving what I need to.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or has some insight into these issues, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much
Regards,
Luca

Hi Roger,
Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that test result before, sorry I forgot. If I log into the problem machine locally with the same user I am logging into when logging in via RDP, I can run cmd, I can install apps, I can do everything as I should
be able to as I am a local admin and have disabled UAC.
If however I log in with the same user via RDP (whether or not I have already logged into that machine locally with the user or not), I have the problem of no admin access. This is why I think it is a problem accessing the console or admin session of the
machine.
Sorry, but I am not sure by what you mean by this question "If so, how about change other computer to
remote to this problematic Win8.1 Pro machine?"
Thanks for your help
Regards,
Luca

SCCM console connection problem to SMS provider

I have installed sccm in the bolw deisgn for the lack of Cluster test environment. It is just to test SCCM HA.
SQL 2008 and SCCM 2012 Site server in two separate physical box(win 2008) and installed additional sms provider to another windows 2003 box. I am trying to connect the console installed on SQL box to new SMS provider(win 2003 box). It does
not connect. What could be the reason? Is it possible by technology at all or not? If it is, how could it be possible?
Thanks

SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 UPGRADE BROKE REMOTE ADMIN CONSOLE CONNECTIVITY

I installed SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 on my site server but it broke a couple things. I've never had problems with SCCM upgrades before. The admin console works if you log into the site server and run it from there but not when you try it from anywhere else (another
server or a workstation). When you open the admin console on the site server it does have the new version of 5.00.7958.1401. Of the five suggestions that appear when your console won't connect, here's what I know:
1) the remote machines can all ping the site server (call it server 01)
2) we know it's not my account that's a problem as I can open the console on the site server itself
3) This problem happens on server 02, which I put the new admin console on. It also happens with other machines which still have the CU2 console
4) Yes, I'm an admin role, shown by logging into the console on the site server
5) I have another network where everything works. I have not put CU3 on it yet, of course. The WMI permissions on Root, Root\SMS, and Root\SMS\site_ABC are identical on both site servers yet it works on non-upgraded one and not on the upgraded one.
WMI info-I can WMI connect from the site server to these other machines but not WMI connect from the other machines to the site server: not root, SMS, or SMS\site_ABC, nor cimv2, even though the permissions match what is on the working network.
When I launch the console from the site server entries about loading the console loading ok are in SMSAdminUI.log, but when I try to launch the console from other machines no entries are made, even though I changed the SmsAdminSNapIN value to VERBOSE.
I checked DCOM permissions and they are the same on both networks.
Another issue that appeared with this upgrade: I can install the client upgrade to CU3 on other machines but on the site server it fails with "Internal Error 2503" and when you click OK it you get "Internal Error 2502".
Ben JohnsonWY

I'd suspected this WMI problem was only affecting our Server 2012 boxes. I compared RSOPs and noticed the ones having this problem were all under the same OU and getting few GPOs. Our GPO person found a GPO that has somehow become unlinked. He relinked
it. After a gpo update AND a reboot these machines start working again. So CU3 did not cause this WMI after all.
And yes, the CU2 consoles won't connect to a CU3 site server, you have to run the console upgrade.
I fixed the "internal error 2503/2502" by doing this: open task manager, click details, end the explorer task (screen will look blank at first). Click File and select "start new task", enter "explorer.exe' and click the run as admin
button. The msp for CU3 client installed and the screen looks normal again. I only saw this error on the site server and have never seen it before.

Web console, "Connection to R/3 Broken"

Hello all,
I've installed Web Console on IIS, Win2k3 server, and I'm unable to connect to my ERP system.
The message displayed reads, "connection to r/3 broken" in plain text.
I've seen a couple of threads here and there, but none post a resolution.
Some background:
I'm reasonably sure I've included everything, I need to. I've allowed ALL Unknown ISAPI Extensions, made an entry for my system.
Also, it seems note 910901is no longer in service. Let's see if Klaus posts about that note

Well, I put in the resolution for one of my systems in the post directly above yours.
The entry was missing in the SAP Login Pad on the host. I have a 2nd server set up identical to the first, and this did not resolve the error there.
Seems theres a couple of common fixes.
1) Make sure you are allowing all api extensions on the host
=>Start=>programs=>IIS Administrator=>allow all extensions
2) Make sure your sap gateway parameters are set high enough to allow all traffice. The default is 200. If you're experiencing sporadic problems, this might be it. Often, in other threads like this, people have mentioned that rebooting fixes their issues. This would fix it w/o having to reboot.
3) Make sure the SAPGUI is populated with all the systems you're attempting to connect with >on the host<.
That's all I have I'm afraid.

Router Console Connect Problem With Mini Usb (1941 Series - Os Win7 64Bit) (SOLVED)

I can not connect console with mini usb, my router is cisco 1941 series and my os win7 x64 help me please ?
My problem was solved thanks to this topic;
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11492306/usb-console-driver-install-failing#comment-9697916

Hi,
Here is how I have managed to enable the communication with the 1941 using the usb A-B cable:
Download the usb console driver 3.1
Install the x64 version on your PC (as administrator)
After the installation was completed:
Open the Device Manager. There will be a new entry named “CiscoUsbConsoleWindowsDrive”. Expand it and select the “Cisco USB to Serial adaptor”.
From the drop-down select “Update Driver Software…
In the “Update Drive Software” dialog select “Browse my computer for driver software”
In the next window, a driver location should be displayed, if not browse your PC and find the …\Windows_64 folder where you have extracted the 3.1 driver.
After the driver software was updated, there should be a new entry in the “Ports (COM &LPT)” named “Cisco Serial (COMx)”.
You can configure the port here:
Right click on the “Cisco Serial (COMx)” and select “properties” and set the properties to this;
Bits per second :9600
Data bits              :8
Parity                    :None
Stop bits              :1
Flow control       :None
The new COM port should be ready to accept the connection with the router.
I am using Tera Terms VT, and it is working well with the above driver and settings.
Should you wont to use the Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP) download the 2.7 version and make shore you have the current Adobe Flush and a current Java installed on you PC.
Hope this will help.
