This chapter discusses many of the concepts and features used to
manage the switch, as well as the concepts necessary for the user
to understand the functioning of the switch. Further, this
chapter explains many important points regarding these
features.
Configuring the switch to implement these concepts and make
use of its many features is discussed in detail in the next
chapters.
Some concepts are presented that are not currently
implemented on the DES-3326 switch. They are included to give
a user who is unfamiliar with the concepts a brief overview of IP
routing that is more complete – aid in the incorporation of the
DES-3326 switch in existing IP routed networks.
