As you can see in the image below, on the left side, I’ve expanded Latest Releases and highlighted the latest release version. The same driver works for other Cisco devices with USB console support. Don’t worry that it indicates the driver is for a Catalyst 3560X-24P-S switch.
I’m all about easy, so just browse to their Cisco USB Console software download site and you can grab it from there. It’s also one of the most frustrating at times. Cisco has one of the most in-depth websites I’ve ever come across. There are about a dozen different routes to get to the download page for the USB Console Driver. Since I already have an account, I’ll go ahead and log on by entering my user name and password and then clicking the Log in button. If you don’t already have an account, click ‘Create a new account’ button and walk through the sign-up process. To begin setting up a Cisco USB console in Windows, login using a account.
If you don’t have the latter, don’t worry! I’m going to show you how to download, setup, and test the driver on a Windows 8.1-based PC right now! Download and install a Cisco USB console connection Cisco finally got with the program and began releasing new equipment with a USB console port to go along with the older RJ45 one.Īll that’s needed now for connection to the console is a USB A to Mini-B cable and the Cisco USB Console Windows Driver. For those of us supporting Cisco network infrastructure this meant using a clunky USB to serial adapter on our PC so we could connect to the console port on our Cisco gear. Most laptops and tablets haven’t come with old-school DB9 serial ports for years.
