CML 2 Breakout Tool DocumentationΒΆ
This is the CML 2 Breakout tool documentation. The Breakout tool provides users connectivity to the device console ports that are operating in a lab environment.
By using the Breakout tool, all access to the serial consoles and remote device framebuffers (via VNC) is encrypted and authenticated. This minimizes the exposure of often unauthenticated router consoles or VNC connections and increases the security of the overall solution.
The tool acts like a a local terminal server that embeds the various serial ports / lines into an single HTTPS connection to the control server. Console access is done via Telnet and the graphics framebuffer is accessed via the VNC protocol.
The CML 2 Breakout Tool allows for users to use their favorite external terminal emulator like Putty, Kitty, SecureCRT, etc. to devices running inside a topology on a CML 2 server.
