Cisco Catalyst 250 Series Configuration Guide

This example reverses the previous configuration and immediately activates any USB console that is connected.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config-line)# no media-type rj45
Configuring the USB Inactivity Timeout: Example
This example configures the inactivity timeout to 30 minutes:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config-line)# usb-inactivity-timeout 30
To disable the configuration, use these commands:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config-line)# no usb-inactivity-timeout
If there is no (input) activity on a USB console port for the configured number of minutes, the inactivity
timeout setting applies to the RJ-45 port, and a log shows this occurrence:
*Mar 1 00:47:25.625: %USB_CONSOLE-6-INACTIVITY_DISABLE: Console media-type USB disabled
due to inactivity, media-type reverted to RJ45.
At this point, the only way to reactivate the USB console port is to disconnect and reconnect the cable.
When the USB cable on the switch has been disconnected and reconnected, a log similar to this appears:
*Mar 1 00:48:28.640: %USB_CONSOLE-6-MEDIA_USB: Console media-type is USB.
