Purpose
This document provides information on features in VSP Operating System Software (VOSS). VOSS
runs on the following product families:
• Avaya Virtual Services Platform 4000 Series
• Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series
• Avaya Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series
This administration guide provides conceptual information and procedures that you can use to
administer system-level topics such as Domain Name Server, network clock synchronization, and
Network Time Protocol. It also describes tasks related to the administration of the network including
configuration and management of systems, data, and users.
This document includes both initial and ongoing administrative tasks for the Avaya Virtual Services
Platform 7200 Series and 8000 Series switches. For information on administrating the Avaya Virtual
Services Platform 4000 Series, see Administration for Avaya Virtual Services Platform 4000 Series,
NN46251-600.
Examples and network illustrations in this document may illustrate only one of the supported
platforms. Unless otherwise noted, the concept illustrated applies to all supported platforms.
