I want to setup a serial console to one of my servers. I realize that this will require a specific type of cable. As I understand it, the cable will have an RJ-45 connector on the host side, and a serial connector on the server side. I'm assuming since my server only has a standard 9-pin connector, thats what I need.
I was looking around and found a Cisco console cable in a box of old junk. It has, surprise surprise, RJ-45 on one side, and 9-pin serial on the other. Would that work? Just thought I'd ask before I start ... perhaps it will save me some hair .... any help would be appreciated ... - Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
