Administration 3-5

As soon as the requested information is entered, the respective
operation is executed. If the operation changes the parameter
settings, new values are displayed in the redrawn menu.

Some configuration parameters may have just one of two constant
values. By selecting such an item you immediately make its value
opposite to that preceding the selection. Typical examples are on
and off parameters. If their value is on, then it becomes off when
the item is selected and vice versa.

Some commands execute operations that have a serious impact on
the behaviour of the entire system (such as restart). Therefore, the
system usually "makes sure" before execution whether it is really
your intention.

Are you sure [y/n] :

If you give an answer other than "y" or "Y", the command will not
be executed.

To cancel the command execution and quit the prompt press the

key any time.

About Menus…

We shall discuss the serial console menus in detail in sections
devoted to gateway parameter settings. Below is a brief survey of
these menus only.

Main menu: Appears after the serial cable is connected to the
terminal. From the main menu you can get into the configuration
menu, change the administrator password, or display the help.

Configuration menu: Contains two submenus: network
configuration and serial console settings.

Network configuration: Used for setting the gateway IP address,
network mask, initial router, DNS addresses, network name and
domain.

Serial console configuration: Helps set the terminal type and
change the initial serial link parameters – transition rate, data and
stop bits, parity and flow control type.
