The switch console menus allow you to modify default switch settings and
configure the switch for network management. They also allow you to
monitor switch performance and status. See Section 3, “ELS100-24TXG
User Interface,” for an overview of the menu hierarchy and a description
of all menus. The following sections describe common tasks in setting up
