The User’s Guide is divided into the following parts:
S YSTEM O VERVIEW
We begin with an overview of bridging, routing, and specific CyberSWITCH features. Next, we
provide an overview for both the system software and hardware.
S YSTEM I NSTALLATION
In this section of the User’s Guide we provide guidelines for ordering ISDN service in the US, and a
step-by-step description of installing hardware and upgrading software.
B ASIC C ONFIGURATION
We define basic configuration as the configuration needed by most devices. These are the areas of
configuration that will get your system up and running. Note that not all configuration steps in this
part are required. For example, if you are only using bridging, you will have no need to complete
the configuration steps included in the chapter titled Configuring Basic IP Routing.
S ECURITY C ONFIGURATION
The CyberSWITCH provides a great variety of security options. For example, you may use device
level security, user level security, or if preferred, no security. You may also perform authentication
of a device/user in different ways. The security information may be stored on several different
types of databases, either locally or on a variety of remote databases.
System security also allows the configuration of administrative session (Telnet session)
enhancements. This provides secure access to the system along with flexible control.
A DVANCED C ONFIGURATION
We define advanced configuration as a way to fine tune your system, or to configure options that
are not necessarily needed by the majority of devices. For example, use this section to configure an
alternate access, or to set up SNMP to manage your system.
T ROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting begins with information for verifying your system installation, and continues
with steps to take if there are problems with the installation. Next, it includes a description of
system LED indicators, followed by system messages and trace messages. Each message listing in
these chapters provides the message itself, a message definition, and where appropriate, possible
corrective actions.
S YSTEM M AINTENANCE
In this section, we provide information to help you maintain your CyberSWITCH once it is
operating. System maintenance information includes information regarding remote management,
a chapter on both the system commands and the system statistics, and routine maintenance
procedures.
