1 Configuring Ethernet Ports
The Ethernet software is responsible for a variety of functions that support Ethernet ports on OmniSwitch
Series switches. These functions include diagnostics, software loading, initialization, configuration of line
parameters, gathering statistics, and responding to administrative requests from SNMP or CLI.
