About This <strong>Guide</strong><br />

This Omni<strong>Switch</strong> <strong>AOS</strong> Release 8 Network Configuration <strong>Guide</strong> describes basic attributes of your switch<br />

and basic switch administration tasks. The software features described in this manual are shipped standard<br />

with your switches. These features are used when readying a switch for integration into a live network<br />

environment.<br />

Supported Platforms<br />

This information in this guide applies only to the Omni<strong>Switch</strong> 6860 and Omni<strong>Switch</strong> 6860E switches.<br />

Who Should Read this Manual?<br />

The audience for this user guide are network administrators and IT support personnel who need to configure,<br />

maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain<br />

knowledge on how fundamental software features are implemented in the Omni<strong>Switch</strong> Series switches<br />

will benefit from the material in this configuration guide.<br />

When Should I Read this Manual?<br />

Read this guide as soon as your switch is up and running and you are ready to familiarize yourself with<br />

basic software functions. You should have already stepped through the first login procedures and read the<br />

brief software overviews in the Hardware <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />

You should have already set up a switch password and be familiar with the very basics of the switch software.<br />

This manual will help you understand the switch’s directory structure, the Command Line Interface<br />

(CLI), configuration files, basic security features, and basic administrative functions. The features and<br />

procedures in this guide will help form a foundation that will allow you to configure more advanced<br />

switching features later.<br />
