To configure the switch to start with the menu interface instead of the CLI, go

 

to the Manager level prompt in the CLI, enter the setup command, and in the

 

resulting display, change the Logon Default parameter to Menu. For more infor-

 

mation, see the Installation and Getting Started Guide you received with the

 

switch.

 

 

How To End a Menu Session and Exit from the Console:

The method for ending a menu session and exiting from the console depends on whether, during the session, you made any changes to the switch configuration that require a switch reboot to activate. (Most changes via the menu interface need only a Save, and do not require a switch reboot.) Configuration changes needing a reboot are marked with an asterisk (*) next to the configured item in the menu and also next to the Switch Configuration item in the Main Menu.
