I don't know if there's a 'trick' to make IOS behave this way -- I
look forward to the other replies -- however just because a router is
off, doesn't mean you can't try to establish a reverse telnet
connection to its console.

If only R3 and R6 are on, you can still connect to R1 through R6.
Obviously you won't get any feedback from the consoles of devices that
are switched off, but at least you'll be able to access R3 in session
#3, R6 in session #6.

In the real lab, you won't be able to change the console server's
configuration anyway, so it probably pays to get used to establishing
sessions to all devices, irrespective of their power state.

cheers,
Dale
