ip routing

may help especially if you are telneting from one subnet to another

Ip routing was disabled as the live cisco i am trying to copy has this as off.

The live one im copying has the following as well:

no ip routing
ip host port1 2001 10.10.10.2
ip host port2 2002 10.10.10.2

So im totally confused why it wont work !
 
how do you access the live box? do you telnet into it or do you reach it via console

ip host port 2001 10.10.10.2

is used for reverse telneting from some interface with the ip addres 10.10.10.2

can you ping the lan interface that you are trying to telnet into. are you on the same subnet as the lan interface you are trying to telnet into?

Im accessing the live box via telnet.

What I dont want to do is put the

ip host port 2001 10.10.10.2 on the test settings and knock the live connection of ? Will that happen ?

Im on the same subnet - heres my settings for the network:

Ip:172.19.40.53
Subnet:255.255.255.0
Def Gateway:172.19.40.2

We tested the lan connection and everything is fine - the ethernet connection showed up on the network but I still cannot telnet to it.

Thanks for your help so far.

 
Hi thanks for all your help.
Ive resolved this problem now and all that I can say that I did differently was a reload after I copied the running to the startup config.
Also it appeared that ip telnet quiet loaded up on startup which wasnt configured on startup.
Disabled this.
Did a reload....took the server to the network connection plugged in pinged....
Never been so happy to see packets returned !!!

Thanks again.
 
ip telnet quiet

is supposed to be a command suppression command for quieting telnet messages to the console. handy for isp working on a live router oe ras.

never seen it affect telnet before.
