Configuring a CISCO 1600 series router using Linux
Hi All,
I'm trying to configure a Cisco 1600 series router on my Madriva computer. I don't know how to check for the port settings so that i can connect the console cable. I have 1 com port on my PC. Please help with the steps that i need to take to be able to work on the router. |

Install the Minicom program (if you haven't already) on your Linux system. Check the manual for the 1600 router, and find the baud/parity/stop-bit settings (I think it's 9600/N/8/1), and set them in Minicom. |
TBONe beat me to the punch in recommending minicom. You will probably use either the /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 device which corresponds to com0 and com1 in DOS.
You can press [CTRL]-A O to change the device from the /dev/modem default. You may need to make yourself a member of the uucp group to gain access to the device. |
Hi,
Thanks for the quickly response.... lovely community. I downloaded Minicom ad tried to install it, this is what i got when i did the first step: [root@Microlink zackeyo]# cd minicom-2.3/ [root@Microlink minicom-2.3]# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. [root@Microlink minicom-2.3]# make bash: make: command not found ..I'm still new to Linux, please help with what i should do in order to install this software. |

There's probably a software-update/repository tool for Mandriva, but I'm not too familiar with that distro, so I don't know what it is. |
