Menu Summary
Information Menu
Provides sub-menus for displaying information about the current status of the switch: from
basic system settings to VLANs, and more.
Statistics Menu
Provides sub-menus for displaying switch performance statistics. Included are port, IF, IP,
ICMP, TCP, UDP, SNMP, routing, ARP, DNS, and VRRP statistics.
Configuration Menu
This menu is available only from an administrator login. It includes sub-menus for configuring
every aspect of the switch. Changes to configuration are not active until explicitly applied.
Changes can be saved to non-volatile memory.
Operations Menu
Operations-level commands are used for making immediate and temporary changes to switch
configuration. This menu is used for bringing ports temporarily in and out of service, enabling
or disabling FDB learning on a port, or sending NTP requests. It is also used for activating or
deactivating optional software packages.
Boot Options Menu
This menu is used for upgrading switch software, selecting configuration blocks, and for
resetting the switch when necessary.
Maintenance Menu
This menu is used for debugging purposes, enabling you to generate a dump of the critical state
information in the switch, and to clear entries in the forwarding database and the ARP and
routing tables.
