Preface
The H3C SR8800 documentation set includes 13 configuration guides, which describe the software
features for the H3C SR8800 10G Core Routers and guide you through the software configuration
procedures. These configuration guides also provide configuration examples to help you apply software
features to different network scenarios.
The Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide describes the fundamentals and configuration of
Ethernet link aggregation, port isolation, spanning tree, VLAN, and so on. It describes how you can use
these technologies to isolate users in the same VLAN, eliminate Layer 2 loops, divide VLANs, transmit
customer network packets through the service provider network, modify the VLAN tags of packets, and
so on.
