Using the Switch Console
Interface
■ Event Log: Enables you to read progress and error messages that are
useful for checking and troubleshooting switch operation. (Refer to
“Using the Event Log To Identify Problem Sources” in chapter 8, “Trou-
bleshooting”.)
■ Diagnostics: Provides access to screens for doing Link and Ping connec-
tivity testing, listing the current switch configuration, and to a command
prompt for executing system management, monitoring, and troubleshoot-
ing commands. (Refer to “Diagnostics” in chapter 8, “Troubleshooting”.)
■ Reboot Switch: Performs a software reboot of the switch, which clears
most temporary error conditions, resets the network activity counters to
zero, and resets the system up time to zero. A reboot is required (in one
case) to activate a configuration change that has been made. (Refer to
“Rebooting To Activate Configuration Changes” on page 4-13.)
■ Download OS: Enables you to download a new software version to the
switch. (Refer to appendix A, “Transferring an Operating System or

the switch. (Refer to “How to End a Console Session” on page 4-3.)
