Configuring the Switch through the Console Interface
The console screens consist of a series of menus. Each menu has several options, which are listed vertically. You select a menu option when you highlight it; pressing the Enter key activates the highlighted option.
To navigate through the menus and actions of the console interface, use the up or down arrow keys to move up or down, and use the left or right arrow keys to move left or right. Use the Enter key to select a menu option, and use the Esc key to return to the previous selection. Menu options and any values entered or present will be highlighted. The bottom of the screen lists the actions available.

The Port Status screen displays the port numbers, their status, Link status, speed and duplex mode, and status of flow control, which is the flow of packet transmissions.
If you want to change any settings for a port, you must use the Port Configuration screen.
