Using the Menu Interface
Starting and Ending a Menu Session
Note If the switch has neither a Manager nor an Operator password, anyone
having access to the console interface can operate the console with full
manager privileges. Also, if you configure only an Operator password,
entering the Operator password enables full manager privileges.
For more information on passwords, refer to the Access Security Guide for
your switch.
Menu Interaction with Other Interfaces.
â– The menu interface displays the current running-config parameter set-
tings. You can use the menu interface to save configuration changes made
in the CLI only if the CLI changes are in the running config when you save
changes made in the menu interface. (For more on how switch memory
manages configuration changes, see Chapter 6, “Switch Memory and
Configuration”.)
â– A configuration change made through any switch interface overwrites
earlier changes made through any other interface.
â– The Menu Interface and the CLI (Command Line Interface) both use the
switch console. To enter the menu from the CLI, use the
menu command.
To enter the CLI from the Menu interface, select
Command Line (CLI) option.)
Starting and Ending a Menu Session
You can access the menu interface using any of the following:
■A direct serial connection to the switch’s console port, as described in the
installation and getting started guide you received with the switch
â– A Telnet connection to the switch console from a networked PC or the
switch’s web browser interface. Telnet requires that an IP address and
subnet mask compatible with your network have already been configured
on the switch.
Note This section assumes that either a terminal device is already configured and
connected to the switch (see the Installation and Getting Started Guide) or
that you have already configured an IP address on the switch (required for
Telnet access).
