Preface
This Sun Fire B1600 Blade System Chassis Switch Administration Guide provides
information that enables you to understand and use the switch inside the Switch and
System Controller (SSC) module in the system chassis. There are two interfaces to
the switch: a command-line interface and a web interface. This manual describes
both.
The manual is intended for network administrators who are responsible for
managing the system chassis. The manual assumes a working knowledge of local area
network operations and familiarity with networking protocols.

Before You Read This Book
