Wizards
Note Wizards are not available if your switch access level is read-only. For more information about the
read-only access mode, see the “Access Modes in CMS” section on page 3-31.
Wizards simplify some configuration tasks on the switch. Similar to the guide mode, wizards provide a
step-by-step approach for completing a specific configuration task. Unlike guide mode, a wizard does
not prompt you to provide information for all of the feature options. Instead, it prompts you to provide
minimal information and then uses the default settings of the remaining options to set up default
configurations.
Wizards are not available for all features. A menu-bar option that has wizard means that selecting that
option launches the wizard for that feature.
Tool Tips
CMS displays a popup message when you move your mouse over these devices:
• A yellow device icon in the cluster tree or in Topology view—A popup displays a fault message,
such as that the RPS is faulty or that the switch is unavailable because you are in read-only mode.
• A red device icon in the cluster tree or in Topology view—A popup displays a message that the
switch is down.
If you move your mouse over a table column heading, a popup displays the full heading.
