Configuring Interface Characteristics

Mar
You can configure the console type to always be RJ-45, and you can configure an inactivity timeout for
the USB connector.
Configuring the Console Media Type
If you configure the RJ-45 console, USB console operation is disabled, and input always remains with
the RJ-45 console.This configuration is global and applies to all switches in a stack.
To select the RJ-45 console media type, follow these steps beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
line console 0
Step 3
media-type rj45
Step 4
end
Step 5
show running-configuration
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
This example disables the USB console media type and enables the RJ-45 console media type:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config-line)# media-type rj45
This configuration immediately terminates any active USB consoles in the stack. A log shows that this
termination has occurred. This sample log shows that the console on switch 1 reverted to RJ-45.
*Mar
system configuration, media-type reverted to RJ45.
At this point no switches in the stack allow a USB console to have input. A log entry shows when a
console cable is attached. If a USB console cable is connected to switch 2, it is prevented from providing
input.
*Mar
by system configuration, media-type remains RJ45. (switch-stk-2)
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
The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console if the USB console is activated but no
input activity occurs on it for a specified time period. When the USB console is deactivated due to a
timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.
