I've a number of Cisco routers in our lab and I am
experiencing a problem I don't know how to fix.

When you hit the up arrow on a number of our routers, it is
supposed to pull up the most recent command. Instead, it gives a
partial line, a non-text non-numeric character and a carriage return,
which executes a command that doesn't make any sense.

Any idea what is causing this?

It sounds to me like the TERMINAL S/W you are using is generating an
UP arrow key sequence that is not compatible with the Cisco command
line. I would suggest that you change the Terminal emulation to
something like VT100. If it is already set to VT100, then check that
it has not been modified in the Terminal Emulator.

Good luck...............pk.

Peter,

I think you are probably on the right track.

I tried changing Hyperterminal to VT100. It didn't correct the
problem. But since changing it involved typing in a correction
('VT100' rather than a drop down or similar), I'm not comfortable that
the change was actually made.

As an alternative, I'm going to try using Hypertermainl Special
Edition and see if that works.

Will let you know what the outcome is.

Regards,



Fred Atkinson
