USB Storage Port

USB Console Port

Use the lower USB console port to configure the switch through an RS-232 serial interface (Figure 1-3). This port provides a direct connection to the switch and allows you to access the command line interface (CLI) from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided serial cable (with USB type-A to female DB-9 connectors).

The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps.

The upper USB port functions as an external flash drive that you can use to store configuration files and scripts.
