Configuring the USB Inactivity Timeout

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	configure terminal	Enters the global configuration mode.

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Step 2 line console 0 Configures the console and enters line configuration mode.

Example:

Switch(config)# line console 0

Step 3 media-type rj45

Example:

Switch(config-line)# media-type rj45

Configures the console media type to be only RJ-45 port. If you do not enter this command and both types are connected, the USB port is used by default.

Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Example:

Switch(config)# end

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.
