Managing the Switch

Status Messages

Status messages are displayed at the top of the content frame. The four types of status messages are:

• Information—Displays information that is useful to know prior to, or as a result of, changing

configuration options.

•Warning—Displays warnings about the switch configuration.

• Error—Displays errors caused by incorrectly configured settings.

• Success—Displays informational messages after you click Submit. The message displayed reads,

“Request was submitted successfully.”

Standalone Buttons

At the bottom of some of the content frames is a section that contains standalone buttons. Standalone

buttons are used to perform tasks that are not associated with a particular configuration option. An

example of this is the Reboot Switch button.

Saving Changes

You can save your changes to nonvolatile storage in either of two ways using ExtremeWare Vista:

• Select Save Configuration from the Configuration task button, Switch option.

This field contains a drop-down list box that allows you to select either the primary or secondary

configuration area. After you select the configuration area, click Submit to save the changes.

• Click the Logout button.

If you attempt to log out without saving your changes, ExtremeWare Vista prompts you to save your

changes.

If you select Yes, the changes are saved to the selected configuration area. To change the selected

configuration area, you must go to the Configuration task button, Switch option.

Filtering Information

Some pages have a Filter button. The Filter button is used to display a subset of information on a given

page. For example, on the OSPF configuration page, you can configure authentication based on the

VLAN, area identifier, or virtual link. After you select a filtering option and click the Filter button, the

form that provides the configuration options displays the available interfaces in the drop-down menu,

based on your filtering selection.

Similarly, in certain Configuration and Statistics pages, information is shown based on a particular slot.

Because modular switches allow you to preconfigure modules without having them physically available

in the chassis, the configuration pages offer a drop-down menu to select any module card that has been

configured on the system, whether or not the module is physically available. By default, information for

the first configured module that is found in the chassis is displayed on the page. You can configure

available slots and ports by filtering on a selected module from the Sort by Slot drop-down menu.

On the Statistics pages, you can only view information for cards that are configured and physically

inserted into the chassis. On these pages, the Sort by Slot drop-down menu displays only these

modules.
