General Guidelines

This section describes guidelines for work within the console menus.
•
To select a menu item, use the arrow keys to highlight it, then press ENTER.
•
If you need to specify additional information for any item (for example,
selecting Yes or No or supplying a value), a prompt appears on the screen. If
you want to exit the prompt without changing the value, press ESC.
•
In most cases, new values are saved when you select Return.
•
Item More means there is more information than what is displayed on that
screen.
•
Selecting More and pressing ENTER displays the next screen of information.
If the screen is a one-screen display, selecting More will update the screen.
•
Item Port refers to the number of a specific port on a SmartStack STS16-
20RM.
•
Item Index refers to the numerical order of a list.
•
To return to the main menu from any screen within the menus, press CTRL-P.
Note that any changes made to the screen are not saved. To return to the
greeting screen, press CTRL-B from any screen.
•
To refresh the console panel at any time, press CTRL-L.
•
To clear all queued messages, press CTRL-D. The messages will still be in the
message log.
•
If you are administering switches in a stack, many of the console screens will
prompt for a box number. To continue, enter the number of the box you want
to administer. The box that you are connected to is highlighted.
•
The console automatically returns to the greeting screen after a default time of
five minutes of inactivity. The time can be changed at the Console
Configuration screen. The Console Configuration screen opens from the
Configuration menu that is accessed from the main menu.
•
For protection against inadvertent or unauthorized access to the configuration
screens, you can establish a password to be entered at the greeting screen. If no
password is configured, just press ENTER and the main menu is presented.
