2. VH-8G USER INTERFACE

Overview

Access is gained to the console menus by directly connecting a terminal to the console port with a null-modem cable connection, or using Telnet to access the switch over the network. These menus allow you to reconfigure the switch, as well as to monitor the status and performance of the switch. The menus have a layout similar to the sample Main Menu shown in Figure 2-1.The information is divided into the following parts:

•Menu Name (includes access privileges)

•Selectable Items

•Screen Prompt for menu selections and entry of field parameters, and Message Area for display of parameters or error messages.
