About This Guide

What is Not in this Manual?

Primarily a reference, this guide does not provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up particular
features on the switch. It also does not provide overview or application examples on software features. For
comprehensive information on how to configure particular software features in the switch, consult the
appropriate configuration guide.
This guide also does not provide any information on the network management applications, WebView and
OmniVista. Further information on WebView and OmniVista can be found in the context-sensitive on-line
help available with those applications.

How is the Information Organized?

Each chapter in this guide includes reference material for all commands related to a single software
feature, such as server load balancing or link aggregation. Typically commands in a single chapter will
share a common prefix.
