Advanced Configuration Overview

The S- K- or 7100-Series device can be configured to provide various system services, Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 routing, and security. Advanced Configuration provides an overview of configuring the S- K- or 7100-Series device for each area.

Note

Though it is possible to configure policy by using the CLI, Extreme Networks recommends that you use NetSight Policy Manager instead.
