How to change configs on Cisco 2500 terminal server You will need the "enable" password. Telnet to the 2500 and at the ">" prompt enter "enable". The prompt will change to "#". Type in "show config" and capture the output. It should look something like this: version 11.2 service password-encryption no service udp-small-servers no service tcp-small-servers ! hostname termserv2-bos ! enable secret 5 $1$LFVn$fE/XO3cO1cG6b217geBIn/ enable password 7 14525705005D73737C ! no ip domain-lookup ip host async8 2008 2.2.2.2 ip host async4 2004 2.2.2.2 ip host async2 2002 2.2.2.2 ip host async3 2003 2.2.2.2 ip host async1 2001 2.2.2.2 ip host async13 2013 2.2.2.2 ip host async14 2014 2.2.2.2 ip host async15 2015 2.2.2.2 ip host async7 2007 2.2.2.2 ip host async10 2010 2.2.2.2 ip host async5 2005 2.2.2.2 ip host async6 2006 2.2.2.2 ip host async16 2016 2.2.2.2 ip host async12 2012 2.2.2.2 ip host async9 2009 2.2.2.2 ip host async11 2011 2.2.2.2 ! interface Loopback0 ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0 no logging event subif-link-status ! interface Ethernet0 ip address 167.208.154.222 255.255.255.0 no logging event subif-link-status ! interface Serial0 no ip address no logging event subif-link-status shutdown ! ip classless ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 167.208.154.1 ! menu trouble title ^CC To clear a hung session, exit to the command line and type 'clear line ' ^C menu trouble text 1 Show lines menu trouble command 1 show line menu trouble text 2 Show users, active sessions menu trouble command 2 show user menu trouble text 3 Disconnect most recent session menu trouble command 3 discon menu trouble text 4 Reconnect to most recent session menu trouble command 4 resume menu trouble text 5 Return to previous menu menu trouble command 5 menu-exit menu trouble status-line ! menu hosts title ^C 'ctrl-shift-6' then 'x' will suspend a connection to a hosts' serial console.

Now select the new config text and copy into your buffer. Enter the command "configure terminal". You should see: "Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. termserv2-bos(config)#" Note the "(config)" in the new prompt. Now paste the new configuration onto the screen. The list line normally would be an "end" statement which will end the config mode hence the "(config)" part of the prompt will disappear. Back at the main "enable" prompt enter the command: You should see: "Building configuration... [OK]" and be back at the "enable" prompt. Now exit the enable prompt with the command "disable". This should return you to the ">" prompt. Now test your changes.
