[RJ45 CONSOLE PORT] Reverse Telnet/SSH?

Mon Sep 16, 2013 9:11 am

Hi guys,

I would like to find out, can the RJ45 console port on the newer Routerboard models be used for something like reverse telnet to other devices?

I know the serial interfaces can do it, but isn't the RJ45 port almost like a serial interface?

Thanks! :)

This port is identical to regular serial console port on other RouterBOARD devices, it can do the same things, and to software, it looks just like normal serial port.
