Navigating

While using the Rapier GUI, use the buttons on the pages to navigate, not the browser’s Back and Forward buttons, to ensure that configuration information is stored correctly.

The GUI is made up of Configuration pages, Monitoring pages and a

Troubleshooting page. Click on a menu item on the left to select the

Configuration, Monitoring or Troubleshooting pages.

Using help mode

Clicking Help opens help mode pages which show any help text available for the current configuration page. Navigate through help mode pages in the same way as navigating through the configuration pages. To return to the configuration page corresponding to your current help mode page, click Exit Help.

Configuring

Once in the Configuration page, select the type of configuration you want to change. Tabs on the resulting pages allow you to modify a range of features. Ports affected by the configuration are selected by clicking on a port in the port map. To apply configuration changes selected or entered on a page, click Apply. This saves the configuration in the switch’s memory, so that it affects its current functioning, and updates the configuration file in FLASH memory (“Configuration Scripts” on page 19).

To restore default settings on a configuration page, click Defaults to show the defaults, then click Apply to apply the default settings shown.
