You can exit the command line interface at any time; to do this, enter
the command logout from the top level of the command line
interface. If there is a period if inactivity lasting longer than 30 minutes,
you exit from the command line interface automatically. After the exit,
the first key that you press returns you to the login sequence.
The command line interface can be accessed by several users at the
same time:
If the stack contains multiple Switch units, the command line
interface can be accessed through each console port in the stack at
the same time.
If the stack is being managed using Telnet, the command line
interface can be accessed by an unlimited number of users at the
same time.
Once you access the command line interface, the Top-level menu is
displayed as shown in Figure 5-1.
