Figure 1-2) is green when the USB console connection is enabled.
The switch provides a configurable inactivity timeout that reactivates the RJ-45 console if no input

deactivated due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
cable. You can disable USB console operation by using Cisco IOS commands. See the switch software
configuration guide for details.
