RE: console server in lab

Sorry excuse my ignorance. Not sure what you mean by 'telnet to each port
individually on a different port' ?

I could connect the console server Ethernet to one of the lab switches via a
dedicated console vlan and then simply telnet to each box from there.

Thanks for your comments.

I agree you need to be able to see multiple windows.

Can't you set your console server so that you can telnet to each port
individually on a different port?
