Direct Access to To select an embedded sub-menu or settings-option several levels deep in Submenus your current menu without having to step down through the sub-menus, type all the intervening menu numbers or initial characters with blanks in

between. For example, if you wish to display the complete FDB table, type b f d from the Main menu. This is a shortcut to selecting b (bridge) on the Main menu, f (fdb) on the Bridging menu, and d (display) on the Forwarding Database menu. The number sequence for this example would be 3 3 1. In Part II, each command description includes the menu sequence required to perform the command directly.

Should you enter an illegal character or string (such as an out-of-range parameter), the display will respond with an error message indicated by a three-asterisk (***) prefix.

Parameter Entry When prompted for parameters, you can enter them all on the same command line with blanks in between or you can enter some or all of them on separate command lines. You are repeatedly prompted for the remaining parameter as follows:

Enter parameter(s): ‘Bridge No. ‘ ‘Bridge Priority’

All or some of the parameters may also be entered in the same command line immediately following the selected menu option or sequence of menu options. In some instances separate prompts call for additional parameters which must be entered in their individual prompt line.

Once all the parameters at the lowest submenu level have been entered, the option is activated and the output is displayed.
