You can configure the console type to always be RJ-45, and you can configure an inactivity timeout for the USB connector.

USB Type A Ports

The USB Type A ports provide access to external USB flash devices, also known as thumb drives or USB keys. The switch supports Cisco 64 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB flash drives. You can use standard Cisco IOS command- line interface (CLI) commands to read, write, erase, and copy to or from the flash device. You can also configure the switch to boot from the USB flash drive.

For information about configuring the switch to boot from a USB flash drive, refer to the Catalyst 2960-X Switch System Management Configuration Guide.

For information about reading, writing, erasing, and copying files to or from the flash device, refer to the Catalyst 2960-X Switch Managing Cisco IOS Image Files Configuration Guide.

Interface Connections

Devices within a single VLAN can communicate directly through any switch. Ports in different VLANs cannot exchange data without going through a routing device.
