Network Role
The first and most important step prior to configuring the SLM-5650A is to
define its network role.
The SLM-5650A is a flexible network component able to perform different
functions depending on how it is used in a network. The role that is defined for
each SLM-5650A will determine what functions are available for each unit to
fill its role. Table 2-1 lists the network roles and the corresponding network
functions for which the SLM-5650A can be configured.
