Task:Actions:

Execute an action from the “Actions –>” list at the bottom of the screen:

Use either of the following methods:

•Use the arrow keys ( [<] ,or [>] ) to highlight the action you want to execute, then press [Enter].

•Press the key corresponding to the capital letter in the action name. For example, in a configuration menu, press [E] to select Edit and begin editing parameter values.

Reconfigure (edit) a	1.	Select a configuration item, such as System Name. (See figure

field:	2.	Press [E] (for Edit on the Actions line).
	3.	Use [Tab] or the arrow keys ([<], [>], [^], or [v]) to highlight the
		item or field.
	4.	Do one of the following:
		– If the parameter has preconfigured values, either use the
		Space bar to select a new option or type the first part of your
		selection and the rest of the selection appears automatically.
		(The help line instructs you to “Select” a value.)
		– If there are no preconfigured values, type in a value (the Help
		line instructs you to “Enter” a value).
	5.	If you want to change another parameter value, return to step 3.
	6.	If you are finished editing parameters in the displayed screen,
		press [Enter] to return to the Actions line and do one of the
		following:
		– To save and activate configuration changes, press [S] (for the
		Save action). This saves the changes in the startup
		configuration and also implements the change in the
		currently running configuration. (See appendix C, "Switch
		Memory and Configuration.)
		– To exit from the screen without saving any changes that you
		have made (or if you have not made changes), press [C] (for
		the Cancel action).
		Note: In the menu interface, executing Save activates most
		parameter changes and saves them in the startup configuration
		(or flash) memory, and it is therefore not necessary to reboot the
		switch after making these changes. But if an asterisk appears
		next to any menu item you reconfigure, the switch will not
		activate or save the change for that item until you reboot the
		switch. In this case, rebooting should be done after you have
		made all desired changes and then returned to the Main Menu.
	7.	When you finish editing parameters, return to the Main Menu.
	8.	If necessary, reboot the switch by highlighting Reboot Switch in
		the Main Menu and pressing [Enter]. (See the Note, above.)
