This guide is intended for users who are new to
networking but have a basic understanding of what
they want to do. If you have not managed a network
product before, it is possible that you may make
mistakes. We have tried to identify the likely errors
you may make and have provided hints and tips to
help you recover from these situations.
If you are already familiar with network
management, you may be able to skip some of the
information in this guide and use the information
given for reference purposes only.
