Help Notes

This topic calls attention to information about the contents and assumptions in this help system.

Launching Configuration Windows

In most cases, when the title of a configuration window appears as a link (in blue and underscored), clicking on the link launches the window. If you want information about the window, click its Help button. You can also get information on a configuration window by clicking the heading on the Contents tab that names the window.

Read-Only Access Mode

The help system does not specify which network features are unavailable to users whose access mode is read-only. CMS menu-bar items and window options make it clear what is available and what is not. As a general rule, a feature is unavailable to read-only users if it would permit them to change the cluster layout or the settings of member switches.
