FTOS Configuration Guide for the C-Series - Force10 Networks

Preface About this Guide
Objectives
This guide describes the protocols and features supported by the Force10 Operating System (FTOS) and
provides configuration instructions and examples for implementing them. It is a combined resource for the
E-Series, C-Series, and S-Series.
Note: Due to a difference in hardware architecture and the rapid development of C-Series and S-Series,
features may occasionally differ between the three platforms. These differences are identified by the
information symbol on page 36.
Though this guide contains information on protocols, it is not intended to be a complete reference. This
guide is a reference for configuring protocols on Force10 systems. For complete information on protocols,
refer to other documentation including IETF Requests for Comment (RFCs). The instructions in this guide
cite relevant RFCs, and Appendix A contains a complete list of the supported RFCs and Management
Information Base files (MIBs).
Audience
This document is intended for system administrators who are responsible for configuring and maintaining
networks and assumes you are knowledgeable in Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking technologies.
