How to connect using console(serial port) between Ansible to Cisco?

[Bruen11]

I'm using Ansible for automation network devices.

After cisco switch factory reset, I don't know that how to connect cisco console port instead of ssh.

I want to know way only serial(console port) connection that ansible connects to brand new cisco devices without setting IP for ssh connection.

Hi,

You need a way of getting an ip address on the switch before ansible can get to it. I don't think you can have ansible connect to the console.

You could try testing a terminal server with reverse telnet, maybe this will allow you to connect

Thanks
