In this video I show you how to console into your switch or router on a Mac. I am running the latest patch of bigSur (I kept saying Mojave in the video, I meant to say bigSur).
**STEPS**
- Connect the USB side of your cable to your computer
- Connect the rj45 jack into the console port on your router/switch
- Open terminal
- Type "ls /dev/" this will list all of your IO
- Find the one that starts with tty and contains serial and USB, typically it's 'tty.usbserial-productnumber'
- Copy that
- Do "screen /dev/" then paste your text from earlier
- Hit enter, and you're in!
