[Nolug] console connection from linux

Anyone have pointers to give some direction?

I'm trying to connect to the networking switch via usb to console cable.
(usb <--> rj45) I have serial to rj45 cable also, but my laptop does not
have serial connector.

The problem is that all info I found about this is that I'm supposed to
select /dev/ttyUSB0 or similar device for connecting.

I don't have one, and even if I do, how would I know which one of the
"numbers" represent the USB port I have the cable connected to.

pietu@pibari ~ $ lsusb

This is all the USB I found
pietu@pibari ~ $ ls -l /dev/usb*
