This section describes the menus.
Summary and
Structure of the
Menus
This section provides a menu hierarchy to describe the structure of the
menu system and a menu summary to help the network administrator
use the management system efficiently.
The chart in Figure28 summarizes the menu hierarchy. The abbreviations
next to the menu names are suggestions for how the menus are used.
Most of the menus labeled D are not described further in this chapter
since they are used mainly by developers for debugging. The debug
menus for performing loopbacks are described since loopbacks can be
used by network administrators to solve problems.
