I have been tasked with implementing SSH authentication to our Cisco
1751-V routers via a Lantronix SCS100. The Lantronix SCS100 is an
external secure console server that handles SSH authentication. The
box has an ethernet interface and a DB-25 interface, from what I have
ascertained, you give the box an IP, you connect ethernet to the
ethernet on your router and you connect the serial to the console
port.

Here are my questiona; First, does anyone have any experience with
this product or implementing one like it? Second, how would one
configure the console port to accept this connection, the installation
guide gives no clues.

Any feedback that migh help would be greatly appreciated.

I use an SCS820, I'm not sure how similar they are, but here is the
general premise.

Connect the serial ports on the SCS to the systems. The wiring can be
special, so if you don't have the correct pinouts/adapters you will have
strange results. I use a patch panel between the SCS and servers, with
my own special wiring.

Configure the SCS for SSH access. Once into the system, you connect to
the port number connected to your target server. On the SCS820 for
example, to connect to port 2 (9600 8N1 to, oh maybe a PIX 515e) you type:

scs820> direct 2

Smack enter and you should see what you would if directly connected.

Download the manual at lantronix.com. They have wiring guides too.

.....I just checked - yours is a one port direct box. This all may be
completely useless to you. But there it is :-)
