Hi,
NANOG - Are any of you running a console server to access your network equipment via a serial connection at a remote site? If so, what are you using and how much do you like it? I have a project where I need to stand up over 100 remote sites and would like a backdoor to the console just to be able to see what's going on with the equipment to hopefully avoid a truck roll for something simple like a hung device. I need 4 console ports and 1 RJ45 ethernet jack. My quick Google search landed me at BlackBox LES1204A-3G-R2, but I've never actually used such a device. This would be for use in the USA.
I don't have experience with those devices, but I did just have a conversation about this with people from Opengear and they told me they have experience with it and you can even set up a OpenVPN over cellular and bridge to the ethernet port to access the management LAN. I haven't tested it yet, but at least their sales people say it works :) Cheers, Sander
