Right-Click Menu Options Overview

The right-click feature in a
Devices view
(when the view is shown in a Table format) provides access to the following links. You can also access the same options when you right-click a device in the Diagram format.
Using these links allows you to complete a number of tasks, and view a great deal of device information.
Important Information!!
You must have the appropriate permissions to successfully complete some specific tasks you can access from the Devices View right-click menu options.
For example, in Cut-Through (In-Bound and Out-of-Bound), Quick Commands and Saved Commands, you are required to respond and correctly enter the appropriate information in the Job Credentials Input pop-up screen when this screen is displayed to continue to complete the selected task. See your System Administrator for more information.
Any task that is not accessible to you from the right-click options listing (appears dimmed), and automatically lets you know that you do not have the appropriate permissions to complete that task, or that you have not made a correct selection (as in Compare Configs - you must select two devices from the list).
You can also use the right-click menu in the Navigation tree . You can select any device within the Network, and right-click to display the options.
Access each link to get more information on the tasks you can complete.
