found your channel a few days ago. i'm very new to this entire networking world. currently learning for cisco ccent using their books (from cisco press). lol i could barely understand anything from this video but it's very interesting to watch and i would like to thank you for taking the time to make them. i've subscribed and i'll be sure to watch them :)
Scott, Thank you for the great three videos. Having taken a Routing & Switching course years ago, I was wondering why you label the Catalyst switch "ip host l3 2037 10.0.0.1" at 8:53, and identify the switch port as a layer 3 connection? I, too, wondered in my class how we made the connections from our desktops to the racks. Thanks a million for this info.
'ip host l3 2037 10.0.0.1' is the command so the Terminal Server can connect to the router/switch. 'l3' is the command you type in the console (of the Terminal Server) to connect to that router/switch. And this is done over the loopback interface 10.0.0.1, and in this case the specific connection is port 2037. 'l3' is just a name, it could be anything. If you remember the octal cable (1 port plugged into Terminal Server, 3 ports to plug into router/switch console ports) this command tells the Terminal Server which of those eight cables to connect on. Take another look at 2:10-2:45 of this video and it's explained there too.
Hi I need advice on a issue that I am having. I have an access router A, that has async cables plugging into a patch panel and from the patch panel I have a rollover cable plugging into router B, console port. I configured the access router A with correct configs on line with an extended acl. I am having issues when trying to telnet to the router B from the A where it just hangs. If I do a show sessions I see that it is trying to establish. I also see that the line has no CTS signal, but the line is in ready state. Any ideas?

Great video of CISCO Terminal Server. I have bookmarked this for future techs that have a question. Thanks for making it.

Can you pass serial traffic over a Cisco Area Network? Or would I need a serial terminal in each area?

Thanks, very helpful and informative
what switch and router model numbers are you using in your home lab?
Thanks for the tutorial!
thx
