Chapter 12 Configuring Interface Characteristics

Using the Switch USB Ports (Catalyst 2960-S Switches Only)

*Mar 1 00:34:27.498: %USB_CONSOLE-6-CONFIG_DISALLOW: Console media-type USB is disallowed

by system configuration, media-type remains RJ45. (switch-stk-2)

This example reverses the previous configuration and immediately activates any USB console that is
connected.

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# line console 0

Switch(config-line)# no media-type rj45

Configuring the USB Inactivity Timeout

The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB console port is
activated but no input activity occurs on it for a specified time period. When the USB console port is
deactivated due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
cable.

Note

The configured inactivity timeout applies to all switches in a stack. However, a timeout on one switch
does not cause a timeout on other switches in the stack.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure an inactivity timeout.

This example configures the inactivity timeout to 30 minutes:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch#(config)# line console 0

Switch#(config-line)# usb-inactivity-timeout 30

To disable the configuration, use these commands:

Switch#(config)# line console 0

Switch#(config-line)# no usb-inactivity-timeout

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

line console 0

Configure the console port. Enter console line configuration mode.

Step 3

usb-inactivity-timeout timeout-minutes

Specify an inactivity timeout for the console port. The range is
1 to 240 minutes. The default is to have no timeout configured.

Step 4

show running-configuration

Verify your setting.

Step 5

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
