Commissioning fundamentals

Commissioning follows hardware installation. Commissioning includes the
minimal, but essential, configuration steps to provide a default, starting
point configuration, set up a management interface, and establish basic
security on the node. For more information about configuring security, see
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Security, NN46205-601.
