This guide is for the networking professional managing the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for Fujitsu Siemens Computers (FSC), referred to as the switch. Before using this guide, you should have experience working with the Cisco IOS software and be familiar with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area networking.

Purpose

The Layer 3 switch IP base image provides Layer 2+ features including access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing, EIGRP and PIM stub routing, and the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

This guide provides the information that you need to configure Cisco IOS software features on your switch. The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC software provides enterprise-class intelligent services such as access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS) features.

This guide provides procedures for using the commands that have been created or changed for use with the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC switch. It does not provide detailed information about these commands. For detailed information about these commands, see the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC Command Reference for this release. For information about the standard Cisco IOS Release 12.2 commands, see the Cisco IOS documentation set available from the Cisco.com home page at Technical Support & Documentation > Cisco IOS Software.

This guide does not provide detailed information on the graphical user interface (GUIs) for the embedded device manager that you can use to manage the switch. However, the concepts in this guide are applicable to the GUI user. For information about the device manager, see the switch online help.

This guide does not describe system messages you might encounter or how to install your switch. For more information, see the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC System Message Guide for this release and the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC Hardware Installation Guide.
