Re: [c-nsp] OT: Console cables on new platforms
What OS are you using? IF you have a linux box somewhere, just run tail -f /var/log/messages and then plug the cable, it will tell you what it sees. I think in windows you can also see some information about the chip if you go to the device manager and check the properties of the detected device, there's a lot of cryptographic information about the USB devices, but in one of the tabs you can see something like PL230 or the like, if it's a prolific.

I'm not certain, but I'll try to verify it and post back. They still have a regular console port (RJ45 connector, serial) so the cables used for all other recent Cisco devices can be re-used. -- Peter ___ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/

I believe it's now a zero-cost option, along with things like the pack of documentation. SPs were complaining in the other direction that they had cupboards full of cables, DB9 adapters, and how to set up your first Cisco router / why plugging mains into the Ethernet port is Bad booklets in 20 languages... At one point, green and regular part numbers were mooted, but I think that's now gone. Just checked the latest delivery of boxes next to me (2911s), and I do indeed have power cables, read me first, and rack ears, but no console.
