“For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer n switching modules only.”
where n is either 2 or 3. Because the CoreBuilder 9000 system can house
both Layer 2 modules and Layer 3 modules, this sentence alerts you to
the fact that this particular command is valid only on Layer 2 modules or
Layer 3 modules.
