Any idea whether Cisco 6500 boxes can be used as console servers or not ???

This is awesome. I pulled some docs on it yesterday and was going to upgrade the code on my 3640 to do it but didn’t have enough memory. Oh well, the memory is on order and the Material you put together is great! Thanks.

Hi Greg,
nice article… I would like to share my experience:
I, usually, do reverse-ssh without rotary. You can just put
transport input SSH
in line configuration.

You can select which line to use with “:linenumber” after username, for example to use reverse SSH on 2600 AUX port, just use
ssh -l user:65 2600-ip

Every reverse connection will use port 22, this is really handy when the terminal server is behind a firewall.
Here some info from cisco:
