Problem with Accessing a 2810-24G in PCM4

[Stuggi]

I have this weird switch which I can open a telnet session to, but when I try to test the communications parameters in PCM for that switch it fails misarably. Any ideas? I've tripple checked the comm parameters, and since I can log in to the telnet session with the same parameters I can't understand why it fails.

Only time I have seen this is when you have a load of disconnected telnet sessions on your switch, and only 1 slot left (whch you may have ben using when PCM was testing for availability).

• Try "show telnet" - I think - to look for dead telnet sessions.
• The "kill" command will kill any telnet sessions (other than the one in use).
• Use "console inactivity-timer X" to set an auto-disconnect for unused sessions (usually requires a reboot).

Also worth looking for updated software on both the switch and PCM+.

BTW, are you testing telnet from the PCM server, or from another workstation?
