1 Introduction to this Guide
This guide describes the ECN330 Ethernet Layer 3 switch. It describes the
hardware, functionality and installation process. Furthermore, it provides an
overview of the software features, and detailed information on how to use the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure the ECN330-switch.
This guide is intended for both installers and system administrators responsible
for operating and maintaining network equipment. For reading and using the
management and CLI sections, a basic working knowledge of general switch
functions, the Internet Protocol (IP), and Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) is needed. This guide does not attempt to give a complete explanation
of different standards (for example spanning tree), but rather their
implementation in the ECN330-switch. For a more comprehensive knowledge
and understanding of the standards, please refer to the standards.
