![]() ![]() Next, open “System Preferences” and then “Network”. You should see something along the lines of: As of this writing, you’ll want the one entitled, “PL2303 Prolific Mac OS X 10.9, 10.10, and 10.11 v1.6.0”. You can do this by visiting and downloading the Prolific Drivers. Next, you’ll have to download the driver for your serial device. The console port on your device should look something like this and will be labeled “CON” or “CONSOLE”: Once the rollover cable and adapter are connected together, go ahead and insert the RJ-45 end of the connector into the “Console” port on your Cisco Device. Rather than keeping an old computer around (which I know a few people do just to have access to that port), you can buy an adapter. ![]() The problem, however, is that most Macs (or any computer for that matter) these days, don’t have a serial port. One one end is an RJ-45 (Ethernet) connector, and on the other is a serial connector. Sorry for the poor image quality, but you get the idea. The first thing you’ll need is to get a rollover cable. Mostly for myself, because I know I’ll forget, but for others as well. #Cisco emulator for mac how to#I had a little bit of trouble getting my Mac to see the device initially, so I’m writing up the steps on how to do that here. Rather than connecting to it via telnet/SSH (which I’ll do eventually), the initial configuration has to be done over a console (rollover) cable. ![]() Now, I’m kicking myself a little bit that I didn’t listen better, but I think I’ll force myself to learn it better now if I’m going at my own pace and I want to learn it for me, rather than a professor forcing me to do so.Īs such, I went out and bought an older Cisco Switch on eBay (Catalyst 3550). I passed all of the Cisco courses in school, but at the time, I think I was just too bogged down with other coursework that I never really had a chance to go back and learn it really well, and in-depth. I’ve always felt that my networking skills were somewhat lacking. ![]()
