128CHAPTER 9: USING THE WEB INTERFACE

Content Frame The content frame contains the main body of information in the Web Interface. For example, if you select an option from the Configuration task button, enter configuration parameters in the content frame. If you select the Statistics task button, statistics are displayed in the content frame.

Browser Controls

Browser controls include drop-down list boxes, check boxes, and multi-select list boxes. A multi-select list box has a scrollbar on the right side of the box. Using a multi-select list box, you can select a single item, all items, a set of contiguous items, or multiple non-contiguous items. Table 37 describes how to make selections from a multi-select list box.

Status Messages

Status messages are displayed at the top of the content frame. There are four types of status messages, as follows:

■Information — Displays information that is useful to know prior to, or as a result of, changing configuration options.

■Warning — Displays warnings about the switch configuration.

■Error — Displays errors caused by incorrectly configured settings.

■Success — Displays informational messages after you click Submit. The message displayed reads, “Request was submitted successfully.”

Standalone Buttons At the bottom of some of the content frames is a section that contains standalone buttons. Standalone buttons are used to perform tasks that are not associated with a particular configuration option. An example of this is the Reboot Switch button.
