Console Port Access
From Lucca's Wiki
This is the command you would use on linux to access a cisco device's console port. This would usually be through a RS232 to USB adapter.
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600
Even though the console port on a cisco switch might be RJ45 like ethernet, its just RS232 serial with a different connector, hence why you need the adapter.
On Windows you would probably want to use something like PuTTY.
