Selecting Menu
Options
To select a menu option, at the prompt enter the menu option or enough
of the name to uniquely identify it within the particular menu. Example:
to access the
module
menu from the top level of the Administration
Console on a module in the CoreBuilder 9000, enter:
Select a menu option: 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 a truncated 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
agingTime
at the
module
prompt, the prompt changes to reflect the current level:
Select a menu option (bridge/agingTime):
Entering a Command String
After you become familiar with the menu structure, you can enter a string
of menu options or commands to move immediately to a task. Example:
The command string for setting the path cost for a port on a module
looks like this:
Select a menu option: bridge port stpCost
