USB Ports on Front Panel
Use the lower USB console port (Figure 1-3) to manage the switch through an
RS-232 serial interface. This port provides a direct connection to the switch
and allows you to access the command-line interface (CLI) from a console
terminal connected to the port through the provided serial cable (with USB
type-A to female DB-9 connectors).
The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit,
no parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps.
The upper USB port (Figure 1-3) functions as an external flash drive that you
can use to store configuration files, scripts, and so on.
