Connecting to cisco devices via console

dgroove3 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-29-2004

I use configure cisco devices daily using hyper terminal in windows via the serial port. Is there an alternative solution in unix that I can connect to a cisco console port via serial port? What application do I need??

We use Digi PortServer II devices. This is a physical device, not an application. However, it allows you to connect pretty much any thing with a serial connection to it. You can then telnet to the Portserver and access the serial connection to the device. This may work for you. We only use it to provide a LAN connection to serial consoles for systems in our machine room, we don't have any Cisco stuff on it.
