OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Switch Management Guide
December 2007
Who Should Read this Manual?
The audience for this user guide are network administrators and IT support personnel who need to config-
ure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain
knowledge on how fundamental software features are implemented in the OmniSwitch 6800 Series,
OmniSwitch 6850 Series, and OmniSwitch 9000 Series switches will benefit from the material in this
configuration guide.
When Should I Read this Manual?
Read this guide as soon as your switch is up and running and you are ready to familiarize yourself with
basic software functions. You should have already stepped through the first login procedures and read the
brief software overviews in the
OmniSwitch 6800 Series
Getting Started Guide
,
OmniSwitch 6850 Series
Getting Started Guide
, or
OmniSwitch 9000 Series Getting Started Guide
.
You should have already set up a switch password and be familiar with the very basics of the switch soft-
ware. This manual will help you understand the switch’s directory structure, the Command Line Interface
(CLI), configuration files, basic security features, and basic administrative functions. The features and
procedures in this guide will help form a foundation that will allow you to configure more advanced
switching features later.
What is in this Manual?
This configuration guide includes information about the following features:
•
Basic switch administrative features, such as file editing utilities, procedures for loading new software,
and setting up system information (name of switch, date, time).
•
Configurations files, including snapshots, off-line configuration, time-activated file download.
•
The CLI, including on-line configuration, command-building help, syntax error checking, and line edit-
ing.
•
Basic security features, such as switch access control and customized user accounts.
•
SNMP
•
Web-based management (WebView)
What is Not in this Manual?
The configuration procedures in this manual primarily use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands in
examples. CLI commands are text-based commands used to manage the switch through serial (console
port) connections or via Telnet sessions. This guide does include introductory chapters for alternative
methods of managing the switch, such as web-based (WebView) and SNMP management. However the
primary focus of this guide is managing the switch through the CLI.
Further information on WebView can be found in the context-sensitive on-line help available with that
application.
