Using the Form Input Fields
When typing in data into any of the input fields, note the following
conventions:
• In the web form (as it appears on the screen), all required fields are shown
in RED.
• With some exceptions, fields cannot contain special or reserved
characters. If you enter an invalid character, the system generates the
message: “Fields cannot contain special characters.”
• Only the following special characters are allowed:
_!@%&()[]{}<>?=+-*/,.;:^~
Verifying Error Messages
To verify an error message, you can view the form or screen in question by
clicking on the error message. This feature allows you to verify or check the
error message against the form.
Chassis Management
The Chassis option (composed of the Devices List form and seven tabbed
forms) of the menu allows you to add a blade chassis and use the wizard to
create 14-blade consoles, 14 blade-KVMs, and consoles for all installed
switches. It includes an Access Control List and Notify list for the blade.
Pointing your cursor to the device name (i.e., the chassis) from the Device list
form allows you to access the Management Module through the web or CLI.
The default CLI session type (SSH or Telnet) is configurable from the Blade
Device form.
Note: The Web option is available only if the web proxy is set to Enable.
