Need ability to document terminal server connections in Device42
Completed
I tried to do this using switchports/interfaces on devices, but since terminal server/serial console connections have no MACs, I can't even add the interfaces to the terminal server.
A quick work-around would be a binary flag on an "interface", for "serial port" or "ethernet". Serial interfaces, of course, would not be required to have MAC addresses the way ethernet interfaces do.
Our current work-around is to shove it in the "Notes" field for the given device, along with several other pieces of data Device42 does not support
-
This can be done using Direct Device connections to a network device port (where console server is a network device).
We have also added auto-discovery around OpenGear and Avocent devices in v7.1.0: http://blog.device42.com/2015/06/enhanced-custom-fields-console-server-auto-discovery-support-for-variable-width-devices-and-devices-outside-the-rack-in-v7-1-0/
