6.2 Other Console Main Menu Options
Besides the Network Configuration option, the Console Main Menu of the switch features the following
menu items: Firmware Management, Enable Debug Messages, Set/Change Password, Restore Factory
Defaults, Reset Switch, Set Web Interface Ports and Exit. Each menu item is discussed in this section.
6.2.1 Firmware Management
This menu contains the Flash Download selection. For more information, see Tools - Rebooting and
Upgrading on page 32.
6.2.2 Enable Debug Messages
This menu option turns on console status messages. Because this can significantly reduce performance,
only enable debug messages when instructed to do so by Technical Support. When you are finished
viewing the messages, press any key to exit this mode.
6.2.3 Set/Change Password
This menu option allows enabling and disabling of serial port security, which locks the serial port with a
user-defined password.
6.2.4 Restore Factory Defaults
This menu option will restore all switch options to the default settings.
6.2.5 Reset Switch
This menu option allows you to execute a soft reset of the switch.
6.2.6 Set Web Interface Ports
The switch uses ports 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS port numbers, respectively. The user can modify
or specify alternate ports.
NOTE: A reboot of the switch is required to use new port numbers.
6.2.7 Exit
This menu selection will return you to the ready prompt. If the Console menu interface password is
enabled, you must exit the Console Main menu so that the next user is prompted with the Password login
screen.
