Using the Menu Interface

Main Menu Features

Command Line (CLI): Selects the Command Line Interface at the same level (Manager or Operator) that you are accessing in the Menu interface. (Refer to Chapter 4, “Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)”.)

Reboot Switch: Performs a “warm” reboot of the switch, which clears most temporary error conditions, resets the network activity counters to zero, and resets the system up-time to zero. A reboot is required to activate a change in the VLAN Support parameter. (See “Rebooting from the Menu Interface” on page 6-11.)

Download OS: Enables you to download a new switch software version to the switch. (See Appendix A, “File Transfers”.)

Run Setup: Displays the Switch Setup screen for quickly configuring basic switch parameters such as IP addressing, default gateway, logon default interface, and others. (Refer to the Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch.)

Logout: Closes the Menu interface and console session, and disconnects Telnet access to the switch. (See “How to End a Menu Session and Exit from the Console” on page 3-5.)
