Cisco question: No telnet access from across subnets?

[InlineFive]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to access my tiny Cisco farm at home while on the road using my L2TP connection. The only problem thus far is that I cannot telnet into the devices. I don't think it has to do with routing between subnets (L2TP 10.x.x.x vs LAN 172.x.x.x) because accessing the HTTP management page on the switches works.

Do Cisco devices not accept telnet conncetions from across subnets?

Thanks!

shouldnt be an issue.

do you have an access-class assigned to your vty interfaces?

There is nothing assigned to vty 0 4 aside from a password. Logging in using telnet works fine from any LAN computer.

If ping works, that means your routing is good.

Post output of the config for your virtual terminal lines.

Alright, ping isn't working so this looks like a newbie issue caused by a newbie. I'll try to figure out this routing GUI on the Astaro box since it confuses me.

You might have an access control list set on the VTY port ... If that is so and it is not properly
set up, you will not get in.

Nope, I didn't. It was a routing issue. Thanks for your help everyone!
