7210 SAS D, E, K OS Basic System Configuration Guide Page 11
Preface
About This Guide
This guide describes system concepts and provides configuration explanations and examples
to configure 7210 SAS-D, E, K platforms boot option file (BOF), file system and system
management functions.
On 7210 SAS devices, not all the CLI commands are supported on all the platforms and in all
the modes. In many cases, the CLI commands are mentioned explicitly in this document. In
other cases, it is implied and easy to know the CLIs that are not supported on a particular
platform.
NOTE: 7210 SAS-E, 7210 SAS-D, and 7210 SAS-K operate in access-uplink mode by
default. No explicit user configuration is needed for this.
This document is organized into functional chapters and provides concepts and descriptions of
the implementation flow, as well as Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and command
usage.

this manual include the following:
• CLI concepts
• File system concepts
• Boot option, configuration, image loading, and initialization procedures
• Basic system management functions such as the system name, router location and
coordinates, and CLLI code, time zones, Network Time Protocol (NTP), Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP), and synchronization properties
