Hello I have debian linux and i like to use cisco router for ccna exam,i know on XP you can use hyper terminal but what programs are there for debian. i google did not find anything for debian. please help thanks in advance

The program you are probably looking for would be nothing more than a Shell,,, ( terminal ) ,, IE: SSH, Through the CLI ( Command Line Interface ) There are several options, though , some of which are - minicom - ckermit - telnet - ssh MSI 845e mb 1 gb ram and a p4 2.4n running fedora 7 xp ,win 2000 advanced server and win 98 SE alot to learn and I know so little !!!!

As above. Be sure you know the limits and rules of your connection choices. Either to one of the ports or to the console connection would depend on your application and connection hardware. Might try to console. cu -l ttys0 -s 9600 I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

Thanks Quacked, Jefro I am going setup router on linux and telnet from xp or mac. do i need to configure serial port on linux. For home lab telnet will be secure ? or do i need to use ssh. iam surprise not many programs to run cisco router on linux.
