CLI Paging Settings
Clipaging Status can be enabled or disabled in this window, it is enabled by default. Clipaging settings are used when
issuing a command which causes the console screen to rapidly scroll through several pages. This command will
cause the console to pause at the end of each page.
DHCP Auto Configuration Settings
The DHCP auto configuration function on the Switch will load a previously saved configuration file for current use.
When DHCP auto configuration is enabled on the Switch, the DHCP reply will contain a configuration file and path
name. It will then request the file from the TFTP server specified in the reply.
When DHCP autoconfiguration is enabled, the Switch becomes a DHCP client automatically after rebooting. The
DHCP server must have the TFTP server IP address and configuration file name, and be configured to deliver this
information in the data field of the DHCP reply packet. The TFTP server must be running and have the requested
configuration file in its base directory when the request is received from the Switch. Consult the DHCP server and
TFTP server software instructions for information on loading a configuration file.
If the Switch is unable to complete the autoconfiguration process the previously saved local configuration file present
in Switch memory will be loaded.
Power Saving Settings
The status of Power Saving Settings can be enabled or disabled.This will put inactive ports into sleep mode when the
link is down.
Password Encryption Settings
Password Encryption Status can be enabled or disabled in this window, it is disabled by default. Password encryption
allows the user to encrypt a password in the configuration file for additional security. Select Enabled to change the
password into encrypted form. When password encryption is disabled, the password will be in plain text form.
However, if the user specifies the password in encrypted form, or if the password has been converted to encrypted
form by the last Enable password encryption command, the password will still be in encrypted form and cannot be
reverted back to plaintext form.
