Accessing a Cisco Switch or Router via Serial Port on Linux Using MinicomIf you need to access a Cisco swith or router on Linux (Redhat, CentOS, Debian, etc) then install minicom, and do the following. Firstly you can check which serial ports on your computer are available: dmesg | grep tty Then run minicom: minicom /dev/ttyS0 Type: Ctrl + A Z Then type ‘o’ (the letter, not number) and select ‘Serial port setup’ to configure minicom. Here is a sample configuration of what you want your configuration to look like: A – Serial Device : /dev/ttyS0 To get to here, please read the following: Ensure the correct serial port is being utilized by pressing A, the port you will usually be using is /dev/ttyS0 Press E to configure bit rate, then select E again, and then Q and Enter. Ensure Hardware Flow Control is on, and Software Flow Control is off. If you are having issues, try exiting and re-opening minicom, or disconnecting and reconnecting your console cable.
