When I export the config file, its a binary file, not accessible by |
9 |
text editor. |
10 |
|
11 |
I can get a pile of humpty dumpty bunk using `strings' so apparently |
12 |
not intended for text editing at all. |

Thanks for the site. After looking around there a while I'm not |
23 |
seeing how to gain a terminal to execute any ios commands. |
24 |
|
25 |
Neither ssh or telnet are accepted at the router. |
26 |
|
27 |
Surely its not really necessary to use a special cable and minicom? |
28 |
|
29 |
A search of the full manual on `ssh' or tftp for that matter, turns up |
30 |
no hits. |
31 |
|
32 |
Even the term `command line' turns up nothing useful in the admin |
33 |
manual. |
34 |
|
35 |
If I enable `remote admin' it is clearly intended for browser access |
36 |
on port 8080, and again no obvious route to any cli opportunities. In |
37 |
fact its not clear even how to connect via a browser for remote admin. |
38 |
|
39 |
After turning remote admin on, and setting a single IP address to be |
40 |
able to connect... I still cannot access it for remote admin on 8080. |
41 |
|
42 |
It seems a really poor users manual or either it expects user to |
43 |
already have serious knowledge of cisco setups and only require the |
44 |
most general help. |
45 |
|
46 |
It appears the intent by cisco is that one should use only the poorly |
47 |
documented interface for setting up the router. |
48 |
|
49 |
Of course I can connect using its lan IP and user/passwd, but even |
50 |
there I see no opportunity to set anything for cmdline access. |
51 |
|
52 |
Diddling around on ciscos pages seems a serious time waster. |
53 |
|
54 |
Entering the Router model continually leads to a manual for a |
55 |
different (wireless) model. |
56 |
|
57 |
Its exasperating because I know there is good information there |
58 |
somewhere but they do not make it easy to find. |
59 |
|
60 |
The Disc that came with the router contains the Quick start guide and |
61 |
a chicken pukky Admin guide that is so bland and uninformative as to |
62 |
rate as nearly useless. |
63 |
|
64 |
I'm probably jumping the gun, but this RVS4000 is looking more and |
65 |
more like some pretty sorry junk to me. |
