The usb console on new cisco routers is simply a rs232-usb convertor built into the router.
so when you connect the usb cable to your pc, it see's it as a usb to rs232 convertor device. (after installing cisco driver) I would assume it's the same in this switch, so I would imagine it would be difficult to do what you are proposing (access the console via a console server) until someone releases a USB based console server, this may not be possible.

I thought I understood which adapters I have did tx/rx swaps, but nothing works. The included "USB" to DB-9 serial cable works fine to a PC, so I know the port works. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ Alphawest Disclaimer If this communication is not intended for you and you are not an authorised recipient of this email you are prohibited by law from dealing with or relying on the email or any file attachments.
