Menu Hierarchy 4-3

Port Context

For the purpose of management, the 16 Fast Ethernet ports of the 7600 Card are divided into four contexts as follows:

.

Table 4-1Port Context

Contex	#0	Contex	#1	Contex	#2	Contex	#3
t		t		t		t
9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8

The management menus and commands focus on one context at a time. Each menu has the currently active context displayed above it. To work with a certain port, use the above table to ascertain which context it is in. For example, ports 1, 2, 9, 10 belong to context #1. Then change to context n, by entering “.n” at the command prompt as discussed below. From then on, the menus related to the ports in that context will be displayed.

Selecting Menu The angle bracket symbol (>) is displayed below each menu and prompts Options the keyboard entry of a menu option. A menu option can be entered

either by option number or option name. Only the first unique character(s) of the menu option name needs to be entered.

For menu options below the Main menu, the menu option label precedes the angle bracket prompt. Successive submenu prompts define the hierarchical path from the most recently invoked (and most deeply embedded) submenu to the original (root) Main menu option. When there are no more submenus to call up, the last submenu option entered produces a double angle bracket prompt (>>). This prompt indicates that menu option parameters must now be entered.

Example

Thus, for example, entering 3 after the Main menu prompt produces the bridge submenu, with its various options, and a command line following the prompt:

(3)bridge>

Keying in this submenu’s 4 option gives you the prompt:

(3)bridge\(4)stp>,
