2-4 CHAPTER 2: HOW TO USE THE ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE

Administration The following sections show the menu paths for performing tasks from the Console Menu top-level menu and provide a brief description of each top-level menu

Structure option. See “Selecting Menu Options” on page 2-8 for instructions on actually using the menu system.

The following menus display the options available for users with administer access.

System Menu

From the system menu, you can view the system conﬁguration, set up your system for management, conﬁgure Administration Console interface parameters, work with nonvolatile data, and reboot the system. (See Figure 2-1.)
