I follow the Tutorial to connect a switch,

use ls *usb* I can find the usb:

$ ls *usb*
cu.wchusbserial1410   
tty.wchusbserial1410

I connect to it:

screen tty.wchusbserial1410 9600

but I get the messy code when I type the keyboard.

I type enter, there gets the ?, I type s, there will get f. you can see in the snapshot:


EDIT-01

My switch is Juniper-EX4300 and the usb driver is Qinheng.

and the Juniper manual shows the Baud rate is 9600.

EDIT-02

I use the console-serial line connect the switch port, and then use the serial-USB convertor connect the line and my Mac.

  • This is because of speed mismatch between your console and the device you try to connect to. You have to know on which speed your device is communicating and set this speed to your terminal program. Also good to know is number of data-bits, stop-bits and parity. Aug 2, 2018 at 12:59
  • @WinnieTigger Do you mean the switch's console port ?

  • Yes! On what speed etc. is the switch console set? This parameters need to be the same in your terminal programm. Aug 2, 2018 at 13:03
  • how to see the switch console port? and in the manual the Juniper EX4300 is 9600, I use this rate connect you can see in my post.
