In order to understand why these options and limitations arise and to better understand the
configuration options available, it is advisable to understand as background the theory of
operation of any to any switching. This material is also required if you are trying to deter-
mine the applicability of any to any switching to a protocol not described in the reference
material.
♦ Important Notes ♦
In Release 4.4 and later, the Omni Switch/Router is
factory-configured to boot up in
CLI
(Command Line
Interface) mode, rather than in
UI
(User Interface)
mode. See Chapter 4, “The User Interface,” for docu-
mentation on changing from
CLI
mode to
UI
mode.
Beginning with Release 4.4, FDDI is no longer
supported. Beggining with Release 4.5, Token Ring and
ATM are no longer supported.
