Yep, that's how I do it.  Works very well :)  Note: You want to put monitoring on said RasPi, so you know if it goes down..  There's nothing more irritating than rebooting a switch, and having it not come back up, THEN finding out the Pi has locked up ;)

Hi Alex,

I do basically the same using a raspberry-pi.  I have debian installed on it with a couple of USB hubs and USB to serial adaptors.
Its been working well for a long time now with about 7 USB serial adaptors on it.

Thanks for the extra info.

The thought of building your own.

I have just added some phy servers to my DC- everything else is Vitual.

I could add a USB to multi serial dongle to these and use them as terminal server. The OS is centos.
Any one tried that ?

That sounds very unusual Peter, I've literally used hundreds of them in all shapes and sizes and never run into an issue like this, it's just talking straight RS232....

Some Nports have compatibility problems with Cisco switches.

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
