Feature Description

Remote Console Connection

Cisco IOS XR Release 24.4.15

The Remote Console Connection enables you to connect to remote OLT and ILA nodes within the network using the OSC GigabitEthernet interface. This functionality allows you to access detailed information about the remote nodes through the near-end nodes by enabling the RCOM interface that is disabled by default. It provides essential access for gathering information and troubleshooting the remote nodes, even when intermediate nodes are in headless mode or lack a physical console connection.

Establish connetion to the remote nodes through their hostname or MAC address. The commands that enable remote connection are:

  • remote-connect hostname <hostname>

  • remote-connect mac <mac-address>

  • show remote-connect neighbours
