    1. anyone ever try to use Raspberry pi connected to USB Hub and make it as console server

    That usb hub connected to multiple switches

    If admin want to connect to multiple switches at once, then just ssh to raspberry and connect to different com port

    You can try this

     

    https://github.com/Pack3tL0ss/ConsolePi

     

    dev has provided a purpose built  front end, which hides the scripts and you can expand your pi with usb extensions to get more density to get over the pi usb limit.

    This solution easier to implement, but make sure

    1. minicom hardware flow control OFF, otherwise you can't run minicom as non root user
