Unusual SSH Tunneling issue to Cisco equipment

[solipsism]

I am trying to setup my Cisco lab to be accessible remotely. My Cisco lab is all connected to a Mac via it's USB port where I use Telnet to connect to the other devices. Unfortunately I only have an AirPort Express as my home router so I can't connect directly to a switch port.

How can I setup SSH so I can tunnel into my Mac and connect to my lab?

Note: I have VNC connected but I'd like to use as little bandwidth and data as possible so this method, while effective, is not as ideal for my specific needs.

Solution: Setup SSH on iMac so i can access the machine directly via Terminal on my MBP or via Prompt on my iDevices.

After I SSH into the iMac all I had to do was use the screen cu.usbserial (found in /dev) command to get access to the console port per my physical USB-to-Serial(DB9)-to-Console connection.

To exit the screen service hit Control+A then Z. To access it again type screen -r in Terminal.

More Screen commands:

Use screen -ls to see the name.of.sessions you have running. Then you can kill a specific session that is listed by typing screen -X -S name.of.session kill or quit them all by typing screen -X quit. After that you can then use the screen /dev/cu.usbserial command.
