Hi, just noticed that there is an app in the App store for exactly this. It is called "Get Console", apparently you will need to buy a specific type of cable (available from redpark). Looks like it might do the job, and you wont need to jailbreak anything.

Redpark have a shop now that lets you buy the cables in single units that work with the Get Console app. Full disclosure - i work for the company that makes Get Console 🙂
I am a proud owner of both the Redpark console cable and the Get Console iOS app which works with my iPad and iPhones.
In addition I purchased from the same site a dB9 adapter dongle which fits on the end of the console cable, for use with those routers that come with that style of console port.
The website also firmly states that the cable works with Juniper series devices.
I am actively trying to drum up interest for this in the corporate telecoms and networking company where I work. There is also a Redpark open-source server solution that would make our lives much easier logging directly on to a remote Cisco or Juniper via a field engineer's iPad rather than trying to talk them through configuration commands. An iPad with a 3G/4G cellular SIM and armed with this console technology would thus be very useful to us!
