Note: This works successfully in reverse i.e.

  1. Navigate to a Device with a Console Port modelled
  2. Connect a cable from a Console Port to a Rear Port on a patch panel / device.

Expected Behavior

Dropdown menu on the rear of a patch panel allows you to connect a cable to the console port of a device.

Observed Behavior

No 'Console Port' option appears on the dropdown menu when looking at rear ports of a device.
