Ending a menu session and exiting the console
The method for ending a menu session and exiting the console depends on whether, during the session, any changes made to the switch configuration requires a switch reboot to activate. (Most changes via the menu interface need only a Save, and do not require a switch reboot.) Configuration changes that need a reboot are marked with an asterisk (*) next to the configured item in the menu and also next to the Switch Configuration item in the Main Menu.
Procedure
- In the current session, if you have not made configuration changes that require a switch reboot to activate, return to the Main Menu and press [0] (zero) to logout. Then, exit the terminal program, turn off the terminal, or quit the Telnet session.
-
If you
have
made configuration changes that require a switch reboot— that is, if an asterisk (*) appears next to a configured item or next to
Switch Configuration in the Main Menu:
- Return to the Main Menu.
- Press [6] to select Reboot Switch and follow the instructions on the reboot screen.
- Rebooting the switch terminates the menu session, and if you are using Telnet, disconnects the Telnet session. (See Rebooting the switch).
- Exit from the terminal program, turn off the terminal, or close the Telnet application program.
