Sorry for the confusing title. I shall try to explain my best to explain my question.

Question: Is there a networking device named X that has multiple AUX ports so that I can connect other networking devices that can be configured from AUX port to this device-X and then configure these devices by connecting my PC to the device-X. The image below describes the question more better.

Is there a networking device-X that is capable of doing what a Device-??? in red color is shown in the image below is doing:

Thank you for your time.

If the AUX ports you're talking about are serial ports, then you're looking for a terminal server - the old kind, not the Windows/GUI kind. Also called a console server.

Here's a whole bunch of them.
