Task: Actions:
Execute an action from an
“Actions-[>] list:
Use either of the following methods:
Use the arrow keys ( [<] ,or [>] ) to highlight the action you
want to execute, then press [Enter].
Press the key corresponding to the capital letter in the
action name. For example, in a configuration menu, press
[E] to select Edit and begin editing parameter values.
Reconfigure (edit) a
parameter setting or a
field:
1. Select a configuration item, such as System. (See figure 3-
4.)
2. Press [E] (for E
dit on the Actions line).
3. Use [Tab] or the arrow keys to highlight the item or field.
4. Do one of the following:
If the parameter has preconfigured values, use the Space
bar to select a new option (the help line instructs you to
“Select” a value)
If there are no preconfigured values, type in a value (the
help line instructs you to “Enter” a value)
5. If you want to change another parameter value, return to step
3.
6. If you are finished editing parameters in the displayed screen,
press [Enter] and do one of the following:
To save any configuration changes you have made (or if
you have made no changes), press [S] (for the Save ac-
tion).
To exit from the screen without saving any changes that
you have made, press [C] (for Cancel).
Note:
Some parameter changes are activated when you
execute Save, and it is therefore not necessary to reboot the
switch after making these changes. But if an asterisk appears
next to any menu item you reconfigure, it is necessary to
reboot the switch to implement the change. In this case,
rebooting should be done after you have made all desired
changes and then returned to the Main Menu.
7. When you are finished editing parameters, return to the Main
Menu.
8. If necessary, reboot the switch by highlighting Reboot Switch
and pressing [Enter]. (Refer to the
Note
, above.)
