Using the Menu Interface
Main Menu Features
■ Reboot Switch: Performs a “warm” 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 to activate
a change in the VLAN Support parameter. (See “Rebooting from the Menu
Interface” on page 6-10.)
■ Download OS: Enables you to download a new software version to the
switch. (See Appendix A, “File Transfers”.)
■ Run Setup: Displays the Switch Setup screen for quickly configuring
basic switch parameters such as IP addressing, default gateway, logon
default interface, and others. (See the Installation and Getting Started
guide shipped with your switch.)
■ Stacking: Enables you to use a single IP address and standard network
cabling to manage a group of up to 16 switches in the same subnet
(broadcast domain). See the chapter on stack management in the
Advanced Traffic Management Guide.
■ Logout: Closes the Menu interface and CLI session, and disconnects
Console or Telnet access to the switch. (See “How to End a Menu Session
and Exit from the Console” on page 3-5.)
