1.) How does one go about configuring the Management Port AND use it.

2.) I don't have the propper USB cable with me right now but after installing the 'Cisco Windows driver' what settings would you have to enter into PuTTy to get a connection to the console session?

I'm quite familiar with using a console cable (RJ-45->Serial) and using PuTTy to configure Cisco switches.

I just bought a used Cisco 2960-S switch. It's all setup and configured for my next lab.

I saw that on these newer switches that there are in addition to the Console Port:

• 1 USB Console Port
• 1 Ethernet Management Port

The first thing I did was do a few searches and I found this page:

Management Ports

•Ethernet management port

•RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232)

•USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector)

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the Ethernet management port, the RJ-45 console port, or the USB console port (USB mini-Type B port). The 10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console port connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.

If you use the USB console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows).

Note For information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the 'Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows USB Device Driver' section.

With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special drivers.

The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.

Note The 4-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See Figure 1-5.

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45 console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a specified time period.

After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB console interface, see the switch software guide.
