2500 telneting
 

Hi folks

Cisco IOS newbie here:
I have a 2500 series that I currently toy with by connecting to using
the console port. What I would like to do is add the router as a
network appliance to my home network so that I can telnet into it. (as
well as have it interface with the network to create a real world
environment)

I'm a little confused about the ports on this one. I have one aux, two
serial and a console. I have an RJ-45 to aux converter but my
understanding is this is for dial-in access? Do you connect the serial
ports to the lan (with a converter), or are they just for router to
router connections?

Looking for someone to help clear this up for me. Thanks in advance!

You can find an AUI Port, too.

Use a Transceiver (AUI to RJ45 Converter) to connect your router to
your LAN. On your router you have to configure your ethernet interface
with an IP address and at least password and login method on vty.

On console try this

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(conf)#int ethernet 0
Router(...)#ip address www.xxx.yyy.zzz 255.255.255.0
Router(...)#no shutdown
Router(...)#line vty 0 4
Router(...)#password xxxxxxxx
Router(...)#login
Router(...)#end
Router#write

sorry, i meant to say aui in the first place (not aux).

So you can use aui for broadband?. ie. its not only for dial-in?

oh, never mind
aux is for dial-in and aui is for ethernet... duh
