Menus and Toolbar Chapter 2 Getting Started with CMS Menus and Toolbar The configuration and monitoring options for configuring switches and switch clusters are available from menus and a toolbar. Menu Bar The menu bar provides the complete list of options for managing a single switch and switch cluster. The menu bar is the same whether or not the Front-Panel or Topology views are displayed. Options displayed from the menu bar can vary: • Access modes affect the availability of features from CMS. The footnotes in Table 2-15 describe the availability of an option based on your access mode in CMS: read-only (access level 1-14) and read-write (access level 15). For more information about how access modes affect CMS, see the "Access Modes in CMS" section on page 2-33. • The option for enabling a command switch is only available from a CMS session launched from a command-capable switch. • Cluster management tasks, such as upgrading the software of groups of switches, are available only from a CMS session launched from a command switch. • If you launch CMS from a specific switch, the menu bar displays the features supported only by that switch. • If you launch CMS from a command switch, the menu bar displays the features supported on the switches in the cluster, with these exceptions: - If the command switch is a Layer 3 switch, such as a Catalyst 3550 switch, the menu bar displays the features of all Layer 3 and Layer 2 switches in the cluster. - If the command switch is a Layer 2 switch, such as a Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 3500 XL switch, the menu bar displays the features of all Layer 2 switches in the cluster. The menu bar does not display Layer 3 features even if the cluster has Catalyst 3550 Layer 3 member switches. 2-18 Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide 78-6511-08
