Edit:
This was on a 2012 rMPB 15"When you go the extra mile, there's no traffic. -

I saw this (don't have a MAC to test this on, so can't vouch for the instructions):

shodown Member Posts: 2,271Iterm2 works very well its acutally what I use most of the time with Jelly Fish SSH that launches the seesions. It can be buggy at times. I also have SecureCRT for MAC its 100 bucks, but works like a champ. For notepads I use Jedit works great for configs.Currently Reading

SecureCRT, worked best for me, if you are a student, you can get it for 20 bucks. -
down77 Member Posts: 1,009Agree with shodown and nerdydad, you can't beat SecureCRT!
On my MBP I use SecureCRT and iTerm2. I also have a Fusion VM with many of my other utilities in it such as Solarwinds Engineer Toolset, DCNM, Omnipeek, Visio, etc. as some software just doesn't run native on a Mac.CCIE Sec: Starting Nov 11 -
thehourman Member Posts: 723I used SecureCRT to SSH to my console server, but if I have to console from MBP straight to my Cisco devices, I use Linux distro with minicom.Studying:

networkjutsu Member Posts: 275 ■■■□□□□□□□I use MBPR at work and I have SecureCRT and iTerm2 installed. Gotta love iTerm2 especially when you're dealing with FEX's a lot. It allows you to issue commands on two screens simultaneously.
At home, I don't use my late 09 MBP a lot when labbing so I don't have anything installed. I can always use Terminal. If I need to console to a router/switch, I can always use screen command for that. -
