Using the Menu Interface

Starting and Ending a Menu Session

Menu Interaction with Other Interfaces.

A configuration change made through any switch interface overwrites earlier changes made through any other interface.

The Menu Interface and the CLI (Command Line Interface) both use the switch console. To enter the menu from the CLI, use the menu command. To enter the CLI from the Menu interface, select Command Line (CLI) option.)

Starting and Ending a Menu Session

You can access the menu interface using any of the following:

A direct serial connection to the switch’s console port, as described in the installation guide you received with the switch

A Telnet connection to the switch console from a networked PC or the switch’s web browser interface. Telnet requires that an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network have already been configured on the switch.

The stack Commander, if the switch is a stack member

This section assumes that either a terminal device is already configured and connected to the switch (see the Installation Guide shipped with your switch) or that you have already configured an IP address on the switch (required for Telnet access).
