SUMMIT SWITCH INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE XVII
Preface
This Preface provides an overview of this guide, describes guide conventions, and lists
other publications that may be useful.
INTRODUCTION
This guide provides the required information to install and configure the Summit
Family of Gigabit Ethernet Switches.
This guide is intended for use by network administrators who are responsible for
installing and setting up network equipment. It assumes a basic working knowledge of
•Local Area Networks (LANs)
•Ethernet concepts
•Ethernet switching and bridging concepts
•Routing concepts
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
If the information in the Release Notes shipped with your switch differs from the
information in this guide, follow the Release Notes.

XVIII SUMMIT SWITCH INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE
PREFACE
TERMINOLOGY
When features, functionality, or operation is specific to a particular model of the
Summit family, the model name is used (for example, Summit1 or Summit4).
Explanations about features and operations that are the same among all members of the
Summit family simply refer to the product as the Summit.
CONVENTIONS
Table 1 and Table 2 list conventions that are used throughout this guide.
Table 1: Notice Icons
Icon Notice Type Alerts you to...
Note Important features or instructions.
Caution Risk of personal injury, system damage,
or loss of data.
Warning Risk of severe personal injury.
Table 2: Text Conventions
Convention Description
Screen displays This typeface represents information as it appears on the screen.
The words “enter”
and “type” When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type something, and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press the
Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says “type.”
[Key] names Key names appear in text in one of two ways:
■Referred to by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the
Escape key”
■Written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc]
If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key names
are linked with a plus sign (+). Example:
Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].
