Please help!

I purchased a Cisco 2509 Access Server to use in my home lab. I am able to go in and out of my 3640 routers but NOT for 3 of my 2950 switches.

Does any Cisco Guru knows what must be configured on the Cisco Switch allow it to work with the Access Server?

Below is the config:

Cisco 2509 Access Server

Host Port Flags Age Type Address(es)
R3 2003 (perm, OK) 0 IP 1.1.1.1
R2 2002 (perm, OK) 0 IP 1.1.1.1
R1 2001 (perm, OK) 0 IP 1.1.1.1
2950SW1 2004 (perm, OK) 0 IP 1.1.1.1
2950SW2 2005 (perm, OK) 0 IP 1.1.1.1
2950SW3 2006 (perm, OK) 0 IP 1.1.1.1

This is what happens when I try to connect to the 2950 Switch:

CONSOLE#2950SW1
Translating "2950SW1"
Trying 2950SW1 (1.1.1.1, 2004)... Open

[Connection to 2950SW1 closed by foreign host]

2950 Switch Config:

2950SW1#show run

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the same problem, no answers found anywhere as of yet, not even on google.. So I will repeat, I have the same problem above.. My 2509 (tired all 8 cables) work fine connecting to any of my routers and my one 3550 switch, but when I plug it into my 3524, 2950, or ap1231abg.. no show I get the same error.. [Connection to 2950SW1 closed by foreign host]

So what is the problem with those devices??? I have eliminated the 2509 and it's cables as problems, the config is good. I have check the port speeds on the problem devices and they are all set to proper port speed 9600... so what gives?

Strange thing though, if you use a standard rollover cable and consle in directly attached to my laptops com ports.. no problems.. again.. I have no problems with the 2509 connecting to all my other equipment on all 8 octal cables.. So what makes these devices not work with a normal 2509 AS config, but with a directly attached rollover cable to a pc???? Kind of defeats the purpose of the 2509..

Anybody???, much appreciated?

the line vty config is wrong on the switch, you should set one password for all 16 vty lines because you dont know which line will be used when you try to access the switch and also you left out the password for line 5 - 15 so you should use the solution i mentioned and try it, i also see ssh set up on the switch, i would advice you to insert this line also "transport input telnet" or "transport input telnet ssh"

Hi ..

I faced the same problem.. please check the configuration below..
==================================
line con 0
exec-timeout 0 0
line 1 7
terminal-type download
transport preferred telnet
transport input telnet
flowcontrol hardware
line 8
terminal-type download
transport preferred telnet
transport input telnet
=================================
I use line 8 for my cisco 3550 switch. if you use flowcontrol hardware, you can not access from your access server 2509. I didn't use flowcontrol for connecting switch. Check the config and apply as per your tty line for accessing switch. Hope you understand..

Thanks
