USING THE CONSOLE PORT AS AUX
The Imola console port can be used as an AUX port to manage other remote devices, see the
example below:
Here you see a Imola router connected to the IP network. Via RS232 cable the Imola‟s console is
connected to the console of another network device, in this example, it‟s a switch.
The command
set console-disable
disables the service access via console in a traditional way, via console, and from that moment on
the port is reserved for other uses.
The command
set ttyaux raw-port PORT
configures a service that listens on the specified TCP port and transmits on the serial port in a
transparent mode all characters received from the network and vice versa.
So, if the user connects via TCP to the specify port, all the executed commands will be forwarded by
Imola on the switch‟s console, and viceversa, the answers will be sent on the IP network.
The command
set ttyaux cook-port PORT
configures a service that listens on the specified TCP port. The characters received before the
transmission on the serial port are pre-elaborated to recognize the controls characters like BREAK,
CTRL-C, etc.
The command
set ttyaux on
starts the configured services.
