Access Server Configuration
I’m not going to go into great detail here about what an Access Server is, just how to configure one. I recently purchased a Cisco 2509-RJ and for the life of me could not get a connection through it to another device. I google’d for almost an hour before I finally came upon the answer.
With respect to the command “ip host SW1 2001 10.1.1.1”, it’s important to note that the last digit for the port parameter (2001 in this case) refers to the line number the device is connected to. In the case above, the telnet connection will be made from port 2001, to line number 1.
One would figure that would be documented better than it actually is.
Example configuration:
AS1#show run
