The

CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switches Management Guide

provides

all the information you need for configuring and setting up the

CoreBuilder

®

7000 family ATM switch in ATM networking environments.

It is applicable for both the Base and Extended versions of the software.

This guide is intended for the system or network administrator who is

responsible for configuring and managing the CoreBuilder 7000 family

ATM switch. It assumes a working knowledge of local area network (LAN)

operation, and a familiarity with communications protocols that are used

on interconnected LANs. No prior knowledge of 3Com’s CoreBuilder

networking equipment is necessary to understand this guide.

If the information in the release notes that are shipped with this product

differs from the information in this guide, follow the instructions in the

release notes.

Syntax

The word “syntax” means that you must evaluate the syntax

provided and then supply the appropriate values for the

placeholders that appear in angle brackets. Example:

To enable RIPIP, use the following syntax:

Listen

In this example, you must supply a port number for <port>.

Commands

The word “command” means that you must enter the

command exactly as shown and then press Return or Enter.

Commands appear in bold. Example:
