Unix No Monitor No Network


Recommended Posts

I have a unix box that I believe needs user intervention. It used to be connected with a KVM which the cable is MIA at the moment... and there is no network connectivity. I need to get a console so that I can see why it will not go online. Any ideas how I can get console in these situations.

Behind Cisco routers. Let me know if you need additional information.

Yea, they are there. Looking for a monitor cable for the KVM.. but if that couldnt be found was wondering if there was a way to telnet into it with a serial/console cable.

Can't you just swap another cable for a short time? Or couldn't you just borrow a monitor from a client?

I don't believe there is any such way to access via a serial cable, without setting something up the server first (and then I still dunno if its possible)
