I am pretty new to the Router world and am in the middle of “dialing” up some of my remote sites from partial T’s to full T’s. A consultant was sent to assist in the Cisco configuration and he ended up knowing only slightly more than I do, after my google searches of Cisco CLI. We did finally successfully get 1 site up and running. We used a telnet session to remotely change the config. I have posted the commands he used below.
The Question: after the [no shut] command, the router disconnected and would not let us telnet back in. The only way to get back in to save the config change was to dial in by modem. That worked fine. Is there a reason it locked us out and can I avoid that, so that I can finish the whole job by telnet? I don’t have easy modem access into all of my remote site routers.

Sorry for the novel, but this is a confusing scenario to me. Thanks for the help!
