Configuring MAX functionality
The MAX is a high-performance WAN router that concentrates incoming connections onto a
corporate backbone or another network. The MAX commonly serves as an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) hub, providing switched IP connections to the Internet, or as a telecommuting
hub, providing high-speed connections between a corporate backbone and remote locations.
How you configure your MAX unit depends on its role in your network. This section
introduces MAX features you need to customize according to the MAX unit’s function.
Lines, slots, and ports
You need to enable and configure the MAX unit’s built-in lines and ports, as well as additional
lines and ports provided by expansion cards you have added to the MAX unit. Table 7-1 shows
where to find related information in the MAX documentation sets.
