The results are reported for the selected port. The test can take up to one minute.
Note: Only the console menu will let you run the virtual cable tester on any port. Other
management interfaces require port access and therefore cannot reliably test the cable continuity of
the port they are using to access the switch.

This menu option allows you to configure the advanced security settings of the switch to limit the

There are two advanced security options beyond the basic password protection: RADIUS client
authentication and IP Filtering. If you have a RADIUS server on your network, you can have
authentication of management access done through the RADIUS server. This does not affect
traffic passing through the switch, but only authenticates access to the switch management. The
same is true for IP Filtering. Here, you can allow only users with specific IP addresses to access
the management features, thus preventing unauthorized personnel from configuring to the switch.
