Operation Menu

You control the Switch’s overall operational state using the Operation Menu.
Pressing <Enter> while the

Operation Menu

is selected, allows you to

select commands:

Switch Offline

The shutdown process is initiated from the front panel by pressing <Enter>
while the

Switch Offline

message is displayed.

Operation Menu:

Switch Offline

NOTE: You can observe and verify this process by watching the front panel LEDs change
color from green to slow flashing amber as each port goes inactive.

After all multicast and broadcast paths have been rerouted, the F_Ports and
FL_Ports are taken offline. This is followed by making all routes through the
Switch unavailable by increasing path cost to hex ‘00 00 00 00’. E_Ports are
then taken offline individually as all routes through a given E_Port are
eliminated.

Switch Online

Pressing <Enter>, while the

Switch Online

message is selected, brings the

Switch online.

Operation Menu:

Pressing <Enter>, while the

message is selected, displays a

submenu to select the port to disable.

Operation Menu:

Pressing <Enter>, while a selected port is displayed, disables the port. The
LED associated with the port changes from green to amber indicating the
selected port has been disabled.
