A5800 - disabling USB port on front panel

[tseeney]

I'm at a secure client site and we need to disable the USB port on the front panel of an HP A-series 5800 switch (JC103A). 

I've used "usb disable" and "usb shutdown" in Sys view, but it does not recognize the command.  Gone through a lot of surfing looking for the correct command or config. manuals and I'm not finding anything.

Has anyone ever done this before?

Hi,

which firmware version are you using ?

I have not tested this, but based on release notes, you should be running some R18xx version (R1807P02 is on the public site) for the "usb disable" command to be available,

Best regards,Peter

Thanks to both of you!  This was indeed the fix.
