The escape character for Cisco products is ctrl^ (since ^ is a shifted
character on most keyboards, it is said to be ctrl-shift-^). The break
escape sequence is the escape character followed by a "b". This is
only important because you can change the escape character. The way
most technical people reference this is:
^^ means ctrl^, the first ^ means use ctrl, the second is the character
^^b means ctrl^ followed by a b, the break escape sequence for Cisco
Do a ^^? on a cisco router and see what you get(ctrl-shift-^ then a ?).
The four most common escape characters in use are ^^, ^\, ^] and ^|.
Many terminal emulation and telnet applications use them to switch
between pass-thru mode and command mode, which is exactly what Cisco
uses ^^x for.
Reflection intercepts the ^^ character by default and does not pass it
through unless it is changed to do so. The process is easy but not
intuitive. I have never heard of reflection used in a lab test. If it
is, I am sure they would already have corrected this issue for you.
