Console Ports

A console port provides connectivity to the physical console of a device. These are typically used for temporary access by someone who is physically near the device, or for remote out-of-band access provided via a networked console server.

Tip

Like most device components, console ports are instantiated automatically from console port templates assigned to the selected device type when a device is created.
