Series
The following switches include a Type A USB port on the front panel
adjacent to the console port, as well as a rear panel USB port (mini Type
B):
•
5530-24TFD
•
5632FD
•
5650TD
•
5650TD-PWR
•
5698TFD
•
5698TFD-PWR
The addition of USB ports will enable switch administrators to perform
tasks that were previously completed through TFTP with a commonly
available USB Mass Storage Device (also know as a flash drive or thumb
drive). These tasks include:
•
software download
•
syslog backup
•
ASCII configuration file generation and download
File and system operations are limited by the size of the USB device in
use.
