Who Should Read this Manual?
The audience for this user guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need to config-
ure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain
knowledge on how fundamental software features are implemented in the OmniSwitch 6600 Family will
benefit from the material in this configuration guide.
When Should I Read this Manual?
Read this guide as soon as your switch is up and running and you are ready to familiarize yourself with
basic software functions. You should have already stepped through the first login procedures and read the
brief software overviews in the
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Getting Started Guide
.
Note.
The
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Getting Started Guide
was originally known as the “
OmniSwitch
6624/6648 Getting Started Guide
.”
You should have already set up a switch password and be familiar with the very basics of the switch soft-
ware. This manual will help you understand the switch’s directory structure, the Command Line Interface
(CLI), configuration files, basic security features, and basic administrative functions. The features and
procedures in this guide will help form a foundation that will allow you to configure more advanced
switching features later.
