This completes the initial setup process. Your Alcatel
OmniSwitch 8800 switch is now ready for additional configu-
ration and network operation. Refer to the following sections
for more information on using your switch, as well as addi-
tional built-in features.

You can also save your changes in real time to the
switch's running memory by entering commit system at
the boot prompt:
Boot > commit system
Caution. There are two important things to consider when
using the commit system command to save serial connec-
tion changes:
Output to the terminal may become illegible due to
•
incompatible serial connection settings between the
switch and the terminal emulation software.
If you use the commit system command only, changes
•
will not be saved to the switch's boot.params file and
will be lost if the switch is rebooted. To save changes
to the boot.params file, refer to step 7.

Return to the CLI prompt by entering exit at the boot
prompt.
