Mau,

Try a no exec under the line 1 16.

                Subject: Troubleshooting Console server

                Hi folks,
                    I have a 2511 router that has two interfaces (1-8, 9-16)
with an 8
                port octopus cable. It was running fine as a console server
for my
                seven other routers until I decided to move them to another
closet.
                After that, the interface that controls lines 1-8 stopped
functioning
                correctly. When I reboot a managed router connected to one
of these
                lines, the line is initially clean (I can see the boot up)
but then once
                the managed router completes it's load, I cannot control the
router and
                sometimes I get gibberish on the screen (almost like if one
changes the
                baud or control-register settings). If I move the same
octopus cable to
                the second interface (lines 9-16), I am able to properly
control the
                managed router. Clearing lines and rebooting do not seem to
have any
                effect on the lines in question (1-8).
                    My question is: does anyone know or have a link to the
command sets
                that would allow me to determine whether the consoles lines
have gone
                crappers or if if there is a loose connection or something
to that
                extent or maybe I've just overlooked something.
                Thanks,
                Mau.

                The config is pretty basic and all the routers have 0x2102
as the
                register:
                2511 Terminal Server:
                line 1 16
                 no exec
                 exec-timeout 120 0
                 transport input telnet

                Managed Router(s):
                line con 0
                 exec-timeout 0 0
                 privilege level 15
                 logging synchronous
                 transport input none
                 escape-character 27
