Configuring the Switch

The Alteon OS Browser-Based Interface (BBI) can be used to view and change switch config- uration parameters. The same configuration parameters that are available through the switch’s command-line interface are present on the BBI configuration forms.

The following provides a basic outline for switch configuration. You should first be familiar with configuration as covered in the Alteon OS Command Reference manual.

NOTE – You must be logged in using the administrator account in order to change switch con- figuration settings.
