CrossFire 8300/8301 Stacker Guide to Operation, DOC-7092 v. 1.0 6. Switch Configuration
6. Switch Configuration
This chapter explains how to set up and modify the stack configuration of the
switches using a VT100 console attached to the switch directly or via a modem
connection. The switch configuration can also be modified from a remote VT100
console via a telnet session.
For information on how to connect the console, see Chapter 5, “Accessing Switch
Management” .
General Guidelines
To work within the console menus and screens, follow these guidelines:
•
To select an item on a screen or a menu, highlight it by using the arrow keys
and then press
ENTER
. If you need to specify additional information for that
item—for example, selecting Yes or No or supplying a value —a prompt
appears on the screen.
•
In most cases, new values are saved when you select Return .
•
The More item means there is more information than what is displayed on that
screen. Selecting More and pressing
ENTER
displays the next screen of
information.
•
Port refers to the number of a specific port on a switch.
•
Index refers to the numerical order of a list.
•
To return to the main menu from any screen, press
CTRL-P
. Note that any
changes made to the screen you were in will not be saved when you do this.
To return to the greeting screen, press
CTRL-B
.
•
To refresh the console screen, press
CTRL-L
.
•
If you are administering switches in a stack, many of the console screens will
prompt for a box number. Enter the number of the box you want to administer.
•
The “VLAN” term in connection with CRF is discussed in the user
documentation supplied with the switch.
•
The terms “Virtual LAN” and “domain” are interchangeable.
•
The console automatically returns to the greeting screen after five minutes of
inactivity. Five minutes is the default value. The time can be changed at the
Console Configuration menu as explained later in this chapter.
