Tja.. jag har stött på patrull och undrar om det finns nån som har några ideer.
La detta på några branchforum och reddit, men kör det här också. Orkar inte översätta så jag klipper och klistrar.
Hi all..
Im in the middle of absolutly nowhere setting up a huge multicast network for a customer. This is totally new hardware so it has not been confed before I got here. Well, I ran in to a problem. I setup all the "edge" switches which are 3650s in this case and was about to start the configuration of the 4500-x serving as, well, core for lack of a better word.
As you all know, Cisco in its infinite wisdow, have decided that 4500-x and usb console is just more then we users can handle. No problem, right? Just fire up the trusty USB-Serial dongle and conf away.. right? right?... WRONG!
My dongle has broken, poof just like that. As I said, I'm in the middle of nowhere 150 km from anything and I suddenly have no way of accessing the thing.
So I thought, well ok, I'll just hook up my 3650s AUX port to the console on the 4500-x and Bobs your uncle. Guess what.. The 3650 have no AUX...
Do you guys know if I can run a rollover between the console ports and get in that way, or do you have any ideas on how I might solve this?
I would rather not drive for hours to get a new cable, so if you have any ideas let me know.
sorry for any spelling errors, I'm 1. not a native english speaker and 2. Furious
