1Designate and mark the main and redundant switch modules.

2Insert the switch module you marked as “redundant” in slot 2. Do not insert the switch module you marked as “main” yet.

3Turn on the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch. The switch module in slot 2 becomes active.

4Run the Integrated Fast Setup procedure (see “Integrated Fast Setup” on page 56.) using the LMA command

(9)FST

5Insert the main switch module in slot 1.

6Reboot the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch using the LMA menu sequence:

(1)SYS / (7) RBO.

The switch module in slot 1 becomes active.

7Verify main and redundant switch module status using the LMA command:

(1)SYS / (4) SWM

You should see the following display.

Security is another core characteristic of the 3Com 7000. It comes equipped with built-in security protocols and features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VLAN support, which segregate network resources and protect sensitive data. These security measures ensure that only authorized devices can access specific segments of the network, thus fortifying the organization's information security posture.

In terms of management, the 3Com 7000 offers an intuitive interface for monitoring and controlling network operations. It supports various management protocols and software, which facilitate streamlined administration and configuration. This ease of management can significantly reduce the operational burden on IT staff, allowing them to focus on strategic initiatives.

Additionally, the 3Com 7000 is designed for high performance. It supports extensive bandwidth and low-latency communications, making it ideal for high-demand applications. The ability to handle multiple simultaneous connections without compromising speed makes it an excellent choice for enterprises that rely on real-time data processing.

In summary, the 3Com 7000 is a sophisticated networking solution characterized by its modularity, advanced routing capabilities, robust security features, user-friendly management, and high performance. These attributes make it a compelling choice for enterprises looking to enhance their networking infrastructure for a competitive edge.
