What is Not in this Manual?
The descriptive and procedural information in this manual focuses on switch hardware. It includes
information on some CLI commands that pertain directly to hardware configuration, but it is not intended
as a software users guide. There are several OmniSwitch users guides that focus on switch software
configuration. Consult those guides for detailed information and examples for configuring your switch
software to operate in a live network environment. See “Documentation Roadmap” on page -viii and
“Related Documentation” on page -x for further information on software configuration guides available
for your switch.

descriptive, technical specification, and procedural information for a hardware component can be found in
the chapter dedicated to that component.
