How to use PuTTY on Cisco routers and switches
In the past, HyperTerminal was emulator software that helped you communicate with a router or switch and provided a command line interface of a router or switch. HyperTerminal software is available for operating systems from Windows Vista and earlier. Subsequent versions are no longer HyperTerminal. New emulator software is therefore required to communicate, configure, manage, and monitor Cisco routers and switches. PuTTY was created for this purpose.
