We have one of these nice new and fancy Cisco ASR920-24SZ, just realized it doesn't have an RJ45 Console port only USB. When we deploy devices at our pop we wire the console port to a terminal\console server, well that doesn't work for a usb console device. So what is everyone doing for out of band management via the console when it's a usb only device? Is there something I am missing? Is there a console server for USB? Does cisco make an USB to RJ45 Jack adapter?
This seems to have the info you need. Looks like that's a USB serial port, so when you plug into it, your laptop grows a new serial port that can be used to communicate with the device: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr920/hardware/installation/guide/ASR920_HIG/hw_installation.html According to that there is a USB-to-RJ45 adapter available, but not supplied with the device.
