Who Should Read this Manual?
The audience for this user guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need to config-
ure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain
knowledge on how fundamental software features are implemented in the OmniSwitch 6600 Family will
benefit from the material in this configuration guide.
When Should I Read this Manual?
Read this guide as soon as you are ready to integrate your OmniSwitch into your network of switches and
routers. You should already be familiar with the basics of managing a single OmniSwitch as described in
the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide.
Note. The OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide was originally known as the “OmniSwitch
6624/6648 Switch Management Guide.”
The topics and procedures in this manual assume an understanding of the OmniSwitch stacking, directory
structure, and basic switch administration commands and procedures. This manual will help you set up
your switches to communicate with other switches in the network. The topics in this guide include
VLANs, authentication, and Quality of Service (QoS)—features that are typically deployed in a multi-
switch environment.
