		authentication trap and the link Up/down trap, set the IP address of trap
		receivers, and set the trap community strings.
System		Displays the System Characteristics screen (see “System Characteristics” on
Characteristics...		page 3-15). This screen allows you to view switch characteristics, including
		number of resets, power status, hardware and firmware version, and MAC
		address. This screen also contains three user-configurable fields: sysContact,
		sysName, and sysLocation. When the switch is part of a stack configuration, this
		screen also displays the base unit identification, the number of units configured
		in the stack, and the local unit stack number.
Switch Configuration...		Displays the Switch Configuration Menu screen (see “Switch Configuration” on
		page 3-18). This menu provides the following configuration options: MAC
		Address Table, MAC Address-Based Security, VLAN Configuration, Port
		Configuration, MultiLink Trunk Configuration, Port Mirroring Configuration, Rate
		Limiting Configuration, IGMP Configuration, Display Port Statistics, and Clear All
		Port Statistics.

		modify the console/Comm port parameters, including the console port speed

Identify Unit Numbers		Only appears when the switch is participating in a stack configuration. When
		selected, this option identifies the unit numbering of each unit in a stack
		configuration by lighting the corresponding number of Link LEDs for
		approximately 10 seconds. For example, in a four-unit stack, unit 1 displays one
		Link LED, unit 2 displays two Link LEDs, unit 3 displays three Link LEDs, and
		unit 4 displays four Link LEDs. The LED display temporarily overrides any
		existing Link LED indications on all unit LED display panels.
Renumber Stack Units		Only appears when the switch is participating in a stack configuration. Displays
		the Renumber Stack Units screen (see “Renumber Stack Units” on page 3-89).
		This screen allows you to renumber the units at any time.
