Notes: Sample prompts shown in Table 7-2 and throughout this chapter assume module 1 (or the
N-SA device) has been configured for routing, and that VLAN or loopback 1 will be designated as
routing interfaces.
A module designation of 1 must be entered to enable routing on the Matrix N-SA standalone device.
All other values will result in an error message.
