DESC: The Cisco 2500 series access server is a full-featured communication server with multiprotocol routing capability between synchronous serial, LAN, and asynchronous serial ports. ??The access server connects terminals, printers, modems, microcomputers, and remote LANs over asynchronous serial lines to an internetwork. The access server uses a set of connection services to allow remote networks access to an internetwork of LANs and WANs. Remote node services support remote network connectivity with Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), Point-to-point Protocol (PPP), AppleTalk Remote Access Protocol (ARA protocol), and XRemote. Terminal services provide terminal-to-host connectivity with virtual terminal protocols including Telnet, local-area transport (LAT), TN3270, and rlogin.
