If you love Putty on Windows you’ll be sad to know that Putty hasn’t been ported to the Mac yet. This CableCreations is Amazon’s choice for only $6.65. If you don’t want to deal with another dongle you can always get a USB A to USB C cable. The MacBook Pro is also, not so lovingly, called the “dongle book” for all of the dongles you need to connect to it. I can tell you they live up to the hype and they work great, every time! They also work really well for my Yubico Yubikey 4. I did some searching on Amazon and came across this 2-pack of Rankie USB adapters that had rave reviews. Some worked some of the time and some didn’t work at all. I had tried several different dongles I had access to at the office. Option 1: Get a dongle to go from USB-A to USB-C. Since the MacBook lacks the necessary ports I had two options: The only problem is that the Keyspan comes with a USB-A to USB-B cable. I went through many other serial adapters before finding the Keyspan and I have trusted it ever since the day I got it. This wasn’t new for me as I have used and trusted this device for years. Enter the Keyspan USB serial adapter from Tripp Lite. This was pretty easy because most modern laptops don’t have serial ports and haven’t for a longtime, so I already knew what to do. The 2017 MacBook Pros only have USB C ports. The first problem to solve was the physical connection. I recently had to connect to a Cisco switch to do some config work and found myself pausing for a sec because for the first time in my career I didn’t have access to Putty and was temporarily stumped as to how I should connect to the console from my MacBook Pro.
I’ve been a long time Mac user but only recently have I started using a Mac for work.
