Selecting Menu
Options
To select a menu option, at the prompt enter the complete text or
enough of the name to uniquely identify it within the particular menu.
Example: to access the
module
submenu, at the top-level prompt simply
enter:
module
Menu options are not case sensitive.
When you enter a menu option or command correctly, either you move
to the next menu in the hierarchy, or the Administration Console displays
information (a prompt or a screen display) for the option that you
entered.
If you enter the menu option incorrectly, a message indicates that your
entry is not valid or is ambiguous. Reenter the option from the point at
which it became incorrect or expand an abbreviated command until it
becomes unambiguous.
When a new menu appears, the selection prompt (with its choices in
parentheses) changes to reflect your progression through the menus.
Example: If you enter
bridge
at the top-level menu and then
spanningTree
at the
module
prompt, the prompt changes to reflect the
current level:
