Pushing traffic? Or are you trying to configure the Cisco router? Try using seyon on the linux box to connect to the serial interface on the Cisco router.
I'm sending traffic to the cisco. Cisco is already configured. I just want to see how the cisco is handling the data it is receiving from the linux serial device. So it is just a test data i'm sending from the linux box through the cisco.
The configuration in the cisco will wrap the serial and forward it as
IP.
What do you mean by "wrap the serial"?
OK. I'm sending serial traffic from serial devices over an IP network. So the cisco will receive the serial stream on its serial port and 'wrap it with' IP to the destination cisco. The destination cisco will then unwrap the packets and deliver serial via its serial port to another serial device. What I want to do is to monitor the IP packets in the cisco to figure out sizes of the wrapped packets. That's all. So I just wand to generate some serial traffic from the linux box into the cisco, and I needa simple linux command to help me with that. A fried suggested I could use cat filename > serial port. But both he and I don't know the correct syntax.
