Cisco Catalyst 250 Series Configuration Guide

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