The switch is now ready for configuration through the CLI or GUI. For
configuration instructions, see the
ARX GUI Quick Start: Network Setup or

initial-boot process for a new (non-replacement) switch.
You can replace a single switch or a switch that is a member of a redundant
pair. The interview that runs during installation is identical regardless of the
type of replacement.
