5 Things to Know When Buying a Console Server
Just some important points to consider next time you’re in the market for a console server solution:
- When buying a console server you will need to know how many network elements per location for management and consolidated access. This will determine the port density of the console server you will be purchasing
- Another thing to know is what type of access will be available to your console server. Will it be in band or out of band access? Do you have IP access or will you need dial-up access when the network is down?
- Will the console server you will purchase come with a management appliance or software?
- Does the console server support common security and authentication standards such as SSH and Radius?
- Finally, what type of warranty period and support is included in the price of your console server solution
