General Functions of the Configurator 3-31
Reboot
To reboot the system, choose Reboot from the System menu. Then, click the Reboot
button. After clicking Reboot, it could take a minute for the 9000 to become fully
operational following a reboot.
Routing Menu
Note that full interoperability with RIP1 domains requires that the RIP2 domain be
describable as a collection of classfull networks. This requirement can artificially limit
the use of Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) to support Classless Inter-Domain
Routing (CIDR).
Figure 3-24: Summary Table
