Connect to Cisco routers using screen
screen is a Linux utility that I use to connect to the console on Cisco routers. If your router is plugged in to a serial port on a Linux box, you can use the following command to connect to it:
[dacaprice@FedoraBox ~]$ screen /dev/ttyS0

This is an awesome tip, I have been using Putty, but with this I don’t have to start another program, I just wonder if it can save multiple sessions with different serial ports including USB to Serial adapters and then just use the alias command to envoke it. I have Ubuntu and Fedora 12 running I’ll try it out. Thanks.
