5.7 Port Management (non-iMAP Devices)
As Table 1-8 shows, port management is also provided for the Rapier and Switchblade devices (these include the 8700 and
9800 series). Many of the port attributes are similar to those of iMAP devices; all of the port attributes will be listed, but there
will be references to Section 5.6 for more information when needed.
