Configuring the HRE-X Router Port

cated as the services are loaded at startup. The hrex submenu contains five commands for use
with the Hardware Routing Engines ( HRE s). The hrexassign command allows you to config-
ure the switch so that registers are reserved for particular services. The hrexdisplay command
allows you to view your current configuration. To display the hrex submenu, enter
