Hello all,

Looking to hook up 8 lab devices to a console server. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Have you looked at the Cyclades ts2000? You can pick them up for 100 off ebay and work great. Its 32 port and uses cat 5 cables, on the downside you have to make your own but its easy if you have made network cables before.

I have one and its great and a lot cheaper than a cisco as they have gotten pricey.

I use a Cisco 2511 router in my lab. It can support 2 pairs of 8 RJ-45's using a Octal cable, which is connected to the ASync ports on the Cisco 2511. You can then make a Telnet Menu in the config.
