Okay - just never tried it in practice - I've only ever used a PC to do it.
Thanks!

I don't quite understand what you mean. If the router/switch accepts
telnet, SSH, or web access over Ethernet, then certainly you can
configure it from OSX. If you are talking about console access over a
serial link, then you need a serial port, and probably a dedicated term
program like ZTERM would be easier than getting connectivity from
Terminal.
I've done both regularly:

Why would you think this wouldn't work?
