Local Management Overview
Local Management User’s Guide 1-7
The following list explains each of the basic Local Management screen fields:
Event Message Field — This field displays messages that indicate if a Local Management
procedure was executed correctly or incorrectly, that changes were saved or not saved to
Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM), or that a user did not have access privileges to
an application.
Table 1-2 describes the most common event messages. Event messages related to specific Local
Management applications are described with those applications throughout this manual.
Display Fields — Display fields cannot be edited. These fields may display information which
never changes, or changes as the result of Local Management operations, user selections, or
network monitoring information.
Input Fields — Input fields require keyboard characters to be entered. IP addresses, System Date,
and System Time are examples of Input fields.
Selection Fields — Selection fields provide a series of possible values. Only applicable values
appear in Selection fields.
Command Fields — Command fields are located at the bottom of Local Management screens.
Command fields are used to exit Local Management screens and to save Local Management
entries. Command fields perform a management action simply by being selected and activated.
Only command fields can make a change to a device’s configuration.
