Using the Switch Console
• Event Log: Enables you to read progress and error messages that
are useful for checking and troubleshooting switch operation. A
listing of Event Log messages is included on the CD shipped with your
switch. (Refer to “Using the Event Log to Identify Problem Sources”
in chapter 8, “Troubleshooting”.)
• Diagnostics: Provides access to screens for doing Link and Ping
connectivity testing, and to a command prompt for executing a set of
system management, monitoring, and troubleshooting commands.
(Refer to chapter 8, “Troubleshooting”.)
• Reboot Switch: Performs a software reboot, 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.)

the switch. (Refer to appendix A, “Transferring an Operating System
