+##############
+Console Server
+##############
+
+Starting of with VyOS 1.3 (equuleus) we added support for running VyOS as an
+Out-of-Band Management device which provides remote access by means of SSH to
+directly attached serial interfaces.
+
+Serial interfaces can be any interface which is directly connected to the CPU
+or chipset (mostly known as a ttyS interface in Linux) or any other USB to
+serial converter (Prolific PL2303 or FTDI FT232/FT4232 based chips).
+
+If you happened to use a Cisco NM-16A - Sixteen Port Async Network Module or
+NM-32A - Thirty-two Port Async Network Module - this is your VyOS replacement.
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+In the past serial interface have been defined as ttySx and ttyUSBx where x was
+an instance number of the serial interface. It was discovered that from system
+boot to system boot the mapping of USB based serial interfaces will differ,
+depending which driver was loaded first by the operating system. This will become
+rather painful if you not only have serial interfaces for a console server
+connected but in addition also a serial backed :ref:`wwan-interface`.
+
+To overcome this issue and the fact that in almost 50% of all cheap USB to serial
+converters there is no serial number programmed, the USB to serial interface is
+now directly identified by the USB root bridge and bus it connects to. This
+somehow mimics the new network interface definitions we see in recend Linux
+distributions.
+
+For additional details you can refer to https://phabricator.vyos.net/T2490.

+Configuration
+=============
+
+Between computers, the most common configuration used was "8N1": eight bit
+characters, with one start bit, one stop bit, and no parity bit. Thus 10 Baud
+times are used to send a single character, and so dividing the signalling
+bit-rate by ten results in the overall transmission speed in characters per
+second. This is also the default setting if none of those options are defined.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service console-server <device> data-bits [7 | 8]
+
+ Configure either seven or eight data bits. This defaults to eight data
+ bits if left unconfigured.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service console-server <device> description <string>
+
+ A user friendly description identifying the connected peripheral.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service console-server <device> parity [even | odd | none]
+
+ Set the parity option for the console. If unset this will default to none.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service console-server <device> stop-bits [1 | 2]
+
+ Configure either one or two stop bits. This defaults to one stop bits if
+ left unconfigured.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service console-server <device> speed [ 300 | 1200 | 2400 | 4800 | 9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 57600 | 115200 ]
+
+ .. note:: USB to serial converters will handle most of their work in software
+ so you should be carefull with the selected baudrate as some times they
+ can't cope with the expected speed.
+
+Remote Access
+-------------
+
+Each individual configured console-server device can be directly exposed to
+the outside world. A user can directly connect via SSH to the configured
+port.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service console-server <device> ssh port <port>
+
+ Accept SSH connections for the given `<device>` on TCP port `<port>`.
+ After successfull authentication the user will be directly dropped to
+ the connected serial device.
+
+ .. hint:: Multiple users can connect to the same serial device but only
+ one is allowed to write to the console port.
