The CPU in the IP Switch Control Board is a 166MHz Pentium processor and runs a variant of BSD UNIX as its operating system. For this reason, the GRF administrator is assumed to be proficient in UNIX.
The IP Switch Control Board is used to install, boot, and configure the router and its media adapters.
It is also used for the logging of messages, the dumping of memory and status, and to perform diagnostic checking of both the GRF and the media adapters.
