How do you get the initial screen back after log out

OK, this sounds lame but, before you login you're at a screen that shows the http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the server FQDN. After you log on and log off, how do you get that screen back?

lol...........I know, whatarookie.

alt-f1 gets you to the CLI - alt-f11 gets you back to the boot screen

Hi,

Even many vet's don't know that function.

Alt +

F12 - vmkernel log

F11 - spash

F1-F5 normal console sessions

F6 emergency console
