Chapter 8 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Using the Switch USB Ports
Connecting Interfaces
Devices within a single VLAN can communicate directly through any switch. With a standard Layer 2
switch, ports in different VLANs have to exchange information through a router. In the configuration
shown in
, when Host A in VLAN 20 sends data to Host B in VLAN 30, the data must go from
Host A to the switch, to the router, back to the switch, and then to Host B.

USB Mini-Type B Console Port
The switch has two console ports available—a USB mini-Type B console connection and an RJ-45
console port. Console
output
appears on devices connected to both ports, but console
input
is active on
only one port at a time. The USB connector takes precedence over the RJ-45 connector.
Note
Windows PCs require a driver for the USB port. See the hardware installation guide for driver
installation instructions.
Use the supplied USB Type A-to-USB mini-Type B cable to connect a PC or other device to the switch.
The connected device must include a terminal emulation application. When the switch detects a valid
USB connection to a powered-on device that supports host functionality (such as a PC), input from the
RJ-45 console is immediately disabled, and then input from the USB console is enabled. Removing the
USB connection immediately reenables input from the RJ-45 console connection. An LED on the switch
shows which console connection is in use.
