Universal Serial Bus ports on the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch
5000 Series
The following switches include a Type A USB port on the front panel adjacent to the console
port, as well as a rear panel USB port (mini Type B):
• 5632FD
• 5650TD
• 5650TD-PWR
• 5698TFD
• 5698TFD-PWR
USB ports enable switch administrators to perform tasks that were previously completed
through TFTP with a commonly available USB Mass Storage Device (also know as a flash
drive or thumb drive). These tasks include:
• software download
• syslog backup
• ASCII configuration file generation and download
File and system operations are limited by the size of the USB device in use. Only USB drives
that comply with the Mass Storage sub-section of the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specification are
supported. Support is not extended to third-party devices that do not comply with these
standards. Consult the documentation provided with the USB drive to ensure compliance with
these standards.
