The Main Menu gives you access to these console interface features:
• Status and Counters: Provides access to display screens providing
information on switch and port status, network activity, the address
tables, spanning tree operation, and IGMP status. (Refer to chapter 7,
“Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation”.)
• Switch Management Access Configuration: Provides access to
configuration screens that control interaction between the switch and
network management, including IP address, SNMP community names
and trap receivers, console/serial link parameters, and console pass-
words.
• Switch Configuration: Provides access to configuration screens
that enable you to display the current configuration settings and to
customize the configuration of the switch features. (Refer to chapter
6, “Configuring the Switch”.) This feature is available only in Manager
Mode console sessions. If you access the console at the Operator level
(controlled by passwords), no configuration is available.
