Those who remember AUX ports on routers and cabling to CON ports might appreciate Wetatronics design of a SFP that provides an AUX port (or two with a breakout adapter). Connects outbound to a meet me server (cloud or run on-prem) over TLS.

Seems like a clever idea, for a “zero U” console server.

(As announced at #NZNOG lightning talks.)

ConX-SFP — SFP Console Server for Out-of-Band Management | Wetatronics

Two RS-232 serial console ports in a standard 1G SFP. Serial over IP and RS-232 to Ethernet access for data centers, MSPs, and industrial networks. No rack space required.

Went to a FreeRADIUS training session by Alan DeKok (the creator of said project). It was mostly about how to think through problems, the correct mental models for how RADIUS works in the real world and Alan ranting about people who refuse to read documentation. It was glorious. #nznog #networking

Due to family Illness I have an extra Ferry Ticket to the NZNOG conference in Nelson next week. Sailing from Wellington Tuesday morning, returning Saturday on Midday sailing. I'm driving down so am happy to share ride to Nelson and back from Wellington/Picton; although you'll have to deal with a fluffy white dog in the car. Free to good home (ticket, not the dog) #nznog #nelson #Wellington #conference #rideshare
