• Optional entries are shown in [square brackets]
• Parameter values within are shown in <pointed brackets>
• Optional parameter values are shown again in [square brackets]
Thus, the syntax
command [parameter1=<value1>[,paramter2=<value2>]]
parameter3=<value3|value4>
indicates the following:
• parameters 1 and 2 are optional
• parameter 2 can be used optionally only if parameter 1 is specified
• parameter 3 is mandatory.
Whenever the word PC is used, it implies a UNIX, Linux, Windows, or any other operating
system based workstation, computer, personal computer, laptop, notebook or any other
computing device. Most of the manual uses Windows XP based examples. While effort has
been made to indicate other operating system interactions, it is best to use a Windows-XP
based machine when in doubt.
The documentation reflects features of MultiLink Switch Software version 1.7.x or later. If
your switch is not at the current version, GE Multilin recommends upgrade to version 1.7.x
or later. Please refer to the GE Multilin website for information on upgrading the MultiLink
Switch Software.

• Save - save configuration changes

This section explains how to setup the GE MultiLink family of switches using the console
