Step 1: Select the Class and Area to Configure
During your planning activities, you should determine exactly what elements or monitors you want to
configure, and in which class they reside. After you have made this decision, you need to identify the
classes.
To navigate to a specific class and area, use the fwConfigure command from a telnet prompt:
1. Log in to the switch as the administrator.
2. Type fwConfigure at the command prompt.
3. The fwConfigure menu displays, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 fwConfigure Menu
The fwConfigure menu contains 12 menu items. The first 11 items correspond to the classes
available for configuration. The Quit menu item, which is the default, exits the fwConfigure menu.
4. From the list displayed, type the number corresponding to the class that you want to configure. For
example, if you type 5, the menu corresponding to the E-Port class (shown in Figure 3-2) displays.
