Figure 2 Example of the Main Menu with Manager Privileges
For a description of Main Menu features, see “Main Menu features” (page 19).
NOTE: To configure the switch to start with the menu interface instead of the CLI, go to the
Manager level prompt in the CLI, enter the setup command, and in the resulting display, change
the Logon Default parameter to Menu. For more information, see the Installation and Getting Started
Guide you received with the switch.
How to end a menu session and exit from the console
The method for ending a menu session and exiting from the console depends on whether, during
the session, you made any changes to the switch configuration that require a switch reboot to
activate. (Most changes via the menu interface need only a Save, and do not require a switch
reboot.) Configuration changes needing a reboot are marked with an asterisk (*) next to the
configured item in the menu and also next to the Switch Configuration item in the Main Menu.
Figure 3 Example indication of a configuration change requiring a reboot
1. In the current session, if you have not made configuration changes that require a switch reboot
to activate, return to the Main Menu and press [0] (zero) to log out. Then just exit from the
terminal program, turn off the terminal, or quit the Telnet session.
2. If you have made configuration changes that require a switch reboot— that is, if an asterisk
(*) appears next to a configured item or next to Switch Configuration in the Main Menu:
a. Return to the Main Menu.
b. Press [6] to select Reboot Switch and follow the instructions on the reboot screen.
