AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series
USB 2.0 port
The switch provides one USB 2.0 port that lets you upgrade firmware from a disk, back
up the configuration to a storage device, and allow for the collection of a memory dump
for debugging purposes.
A device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:
• The USB device must support USB 2.0.
• The USB device must support the FAT32 or VFAT file type. The NTFS file type is not
supported.
Because of hardware limitations, the write speed to and read speed from a USB device
is about 1 Mbps.
Out-of-band 1G Ethernet port
The back panel of the switch provides one out-of-band (OOB) 1000BASE-T RJ-45
Ethernet port that lets you access the switch over its main local browser UI or over a
Telnet or SSH session.
RJ-45 RS-232 console port
The back panel of the switch provides one RJ-45 RS-232 console port for console access
only. This serial port is configured for 115200 baud, eight data bits, one stop bit, and
no parity.
The switch package includes one console cable with one DB9 connector and one RJ-45
connector. You can use this cable to connect the RJ-45 RS-232 console port on the
switch to a DB9 port on a VT100-compatible terminal or a Windows-based computer
that runs VT100 terminal emulation software.
USB Type-C console port
The switch provides one USB Type-C console port for console access only. The product
package includes one USB console cable with a USB-A connector and a USB-C connector.
You can use this cable to connect the USB Type-C console port on the switch to a USB
port on a VT100-compatible terminal or a Windows-based computer that runs VT100
terminal emulation software.
Note: For you to be able to use the USB Type-C port and access the switch from a
Windows-based computer that runs VT100 terminal emulation software, you must install
the USB driver on the computer. To download the VT100 terminal emulation software
and Windows USB driver, visit netgear.com/support, enter your model number in the
search box, and click the Downloads button on the product page.
