#1 Can I use my MacBook with the CISCO cable, having the RS-232 end in the back of the V210 and the eth0 end of the cable in the Ethernet port of my Mac, manually set an IP and use the command
No.

Quote:
#2 Failing that, could I use a USB to RS-232 adapter with the CISCO cable and plug the USB into my MacBook and then use some magical command in terminal to telnet via the USB instead or will that not work?
Yes. Put CISCO cable RJ45 end into the console/serial port on V210

Quote:
#3 Is this image the CISCO cable that we are referring to?
Yes it is.

Forget about networking/telnet, connect the CISCO cable to the serial/console port of the V210 and put a dumb terminal on the end (think VT100). Run a terminal emulator on your MAC out through a USB to serial adapter as per DukeNuke2's post.

NAME
scconf_transp_adap_bge - configure the bge transport adapter DESCRIPTION
Note - Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor- mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page. You can configure bge adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with the dlpi transport type. The bge adapter is VLAN capable. The bge adapter connects to a transport switch or to another bge adapter on a different node. In either case, the connection is made through a transport cable. When a transport switch is used and the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using the scconf command, the scinstall command, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch. The default is to set the port name to the node ID hosting the adapter at the other end of the cable. There are no user configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type. SEE ALSO
