Step 6

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.
