Terms of Use

FoundryNet is an informational reference. Everything on the site is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and is intended for readers who understand the equipment and networks they operate.

Your equipment, your responsibility. Configuration examples, command shapes and recovery procedures are illustrative. They varied across Foundry and successor platforms and software releases and may not match yours. Test on non-production equipment, keep backups, and accept that you are responsible for changes you make to your own network.

Security content. Hardening advice and advisory summaries are offered to help operators protect legacy equipment. Nothing on the site should be used to access systems you do not own or administer.

Independence and trademarks. FoundryNet is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Foundry Networks, Brocade, Broadcom, Extreme Networks or Ruckus/CommScope. Product and company names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to identify the products discussed. The site does not distribute their documentation, software or images.

Copyright. The text, tables and diagrams on this site are original work. You may quote short passages with attribution and a link. Wholesale reproduction requires permission via the contact page.

Changes. These terms may be updated as the site evolves. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. Last updated September 2026.
