Enabling or disabling the USB port
Perform this procedure to control USB access. For security reasons, you may want to disable this
port to prevent individuals from using it. By default, the port is automatically mounted when a USB
device is inserted.
Important:
Do not perform this procedure on a VSP 4850.
The USB FLASH drive on all models of VSP 4850 (factory built and converted from ERS 4850)
must be treated as a permanent non-removable part of the switch and must NEVER be
removed from the switch to ensure proper operation. Additionally, the USB cover must be
installed to ensure additional protection against removal. The USB FLASH drive on the VSP
4850 switch is uniquely and permanently bound to the operating system of the switch it is first
used on and cannot be transferred to a different switch. Removal (and reinsertion) of the USB
FLASH drive from the switch is not supported as it can permanently compromise the switch
functionality and render it non-functional.
Before you begin
The switch must be in Enhanced Secure mode.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. Disable the USB port:
sys usb disable
3. Enable a previously disabled USB port:
no sys usb disable
