serial-terminal already running on this port

Sat Mar 02, 2013 11:41 am

Hi there,

I'm having problem reconnecting to my serial-terminal. I've done some configuration from RB over serial port (connected to Cisco) and as the last step I reconfigured the IP on RB. After I reconnected to RB I can't connect back to the serial-terminal I've been connected to before because it's in use. The error I get is:
[admin@Slavius] /system console> /system serial-terminal port=usb2  
serial-terminal already running on this port
Any idea or help before I physically and forcibly disconnect the USB/Serial converter?

Thank You.

This indeed works, however I can't imagine doing this on remote router miles away.

The session has timed out after some minutes but I still wonder if I can reconnect or forcibly close the session immediately.

I think session is opened by other users who can be discconected.

Anyone knows how to disconnect inactive user session on Mikrotk?

Hi there,

In case someone still needs this.
You can do the following steps to reset the session.

/system console disable 0
/system console enable 0
/system serial-terminal serial0
