This guide provides all the information you need to install and use the
IBM 8271 Nways Ethernet LAN Switch Models F12 and F24 with
default settings. If you want to change the way the Switch works using
management software, refer to the “IBM 8271 Ethernet LAN Switch
Management Guide” (part number 35L2186).
This guide is intended for use by network administrators who are
responsible for installing and setting up network equipment. It assumes
a basic working knowledge of LANs (Local Area Networks).
This guide is intended for use with both F12 and F24 models:
■
02L0878 — 12 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports
■

All pictures and example screens show the 24-port model, however, all
procedures also apply to the 12-port model.
