i’m getting ready to do a quick video tutorial/demo using camtasia and so i needed to configure my cisco 2509 terminal server. here’s how i did it, from a completely blank configuration:

Router>en
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#hostname TERMSERV
TERMSERV(config)#interface loopback 0
TERMSERV(config-if)#ip address 192.168.254.254 255.255.255.255
TERMSERV(config-if)#exit
TERMSERV(config)#line tty 1 8
TERMSERV(config-line)#transport input all
TERMSERV(config-line)exit
TERMSERV(config)#ip host s1 2001 192.168.254.254
TERMSERV(config)#ip host r7 2007 192.168.254.254
TERMSERV(config)#ip host r8 2008 192.168.254.254
TERMSERV(config)#end
TERMSERV#copy running-config startup-config

success!
