Inside CCIE Lab: Using Terminal Server

In the Lab, You will get Terminal Server to access Routers & Switches.
Normally people log on to Terminal Server and then reverse telnet to
individual gears to access it.
Use the configuration mode command, [ ip host "hostname" [port] Router-id ]
to configure host to ip mapping. Like, [ip host R1 23 150.1.1.1 ] to map
Router1 to map with R1 string. Use the above command to configure all
accessible boxes in the lab.

Now use exec command “hostname” to connect the host, like [type]“R1″–>[Enter]
to connect to R1. Type [Ctrl]+[Shift]+6 to disconnect the current connection.
Repeat this process to connect all accessible boxes in the lab.
