Hi German, again (I already sent this message last week but it seems it has not been processed)
I sent that to you and jnsp: You must be careful using the Aux port. The cabling like you've seen is not completely the same as on the console port. Juniper is providing a crossover cable with some loops in it. If you are using this kind of cable you will be able to connect a PC on the console port and on the Aux port at the same time. If you are using some different kind of crossover cable (Cisco console for example), it will work on the console port but not on the Aux one. So, you will certainly need to adapt some loops in the cabling you are using on you Cisco TS. For example you will certainly have to loop DTR to DSR and RTS to CTS. Also I have checked the console cable provided buy Juniper. Ther is a loop on both sides between pin 1 and 6 (that's DCD and DSR) Hope This will help Alain -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de German Martinez Envoyé : vendredi 25 avril 2008 20:43 À : [email protected] Objet : [j-nsp] T-640 management ports Hello, According to Juniper' website the CIP card (Control Interface Card) holds the management ports for Routing Engine 0 and Routing Engine 1. Ports are grouped as Host0 and Host1. http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/t640/t640-hwguide/hw-cip.html#hw-re-ports By default, the auxiliary port is disabled. I enabled the auxiliary port but I am not able to connect to the router using this port. http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/t640/t640-hwguide/pinouts-db9.html#pinouts-db9 According to the information above, both ports should work as RS-232 and have identical pinout. I am trying to access the auxiliary port of my T-640 using a Cisco 2511 through reverse telnet. My console connection on the same Cisco 2511 towards the same router is working without any problems. The only difference between the console connection and the aux one is that on the aux connection CTS and DSR are down: #sh line 2 Tty Typ Tx/Rx A Modem Roty AccO AccI Uses Noise Overruns * 2 TTY 9600/9600 - inout - - 10 12 0 0/0 Line 2, Location: "xxxxx-re0-aux", Type: "" Length: 24 lines, Width: 80 columns Baud rate (TX/RX) is 9600/9600, no parity, 2 stopbits, 8 databits Status: Ready, Connected, Active Capabilities: EXEC Suppressed, Modem Callout, Modem RI is CD No login banner Modem state: Ready Special Chars: Escape Hold Stop Start Disconnect Activation ^Cx none - - none Timeouts: Idle EXEC Idle Session Modem Answer Session Dispatch 00:15:00 00:30:00 none not set Modem type is unknown.
