About This Document and the Cisco IOS Documentation Set
These release notes describe the features and caveats for Cisco IOS Release 11.3, up to and including Release 11.3(11f). They include all routing and access server features.
Related User Documentation
The Cisco IOS software documentation describes the tasks and commands necessary to configure and maintain your access server or router. The Cisco IOS software documentation is divided into nine modules and two master indexes. There are also four supporting documents.
Documentation Modules
Each module consists of two books: a configuration guide and a corresponding command reference. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, and Cisco IOS software functionality and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference provide complete command syntax information. Each configuration guide can be used in conjunction with its corresponding command reference.
Master Indexes
Two master indexes provide indexing information for the Cisco IOS software documentation set: an index for the configuration guides and an index for the command references. In addition, individual books contain a book-specific index.
Documentation Set
The Cisco IOS documentation set consists of the following books and chapter topics:

The most up-to-date Cisco IOS documentation can be found on the latest Documentation CD-ROM and on the Web. These electronic documents may contain updates and modifications made after the paper documents were printed.
Note Due to a production problem, many source-route bridging commands were omitted from the printed version of the Cisco IOS Software Command Summary (78-4746-01). For complete documentation of all source-route bridging commands refer to the Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference (78-4743-01). You may also obtain the most current documentation on the Documentation CD-ROM or Cisco Connection Online (CCO).
Note The Cisco Management Information Base (MIB) User Quick Reference publication is no longer being published. For the latest list of MIBs supported by Cisco, see the Cisco Network Management Toolkit on Cisco Connection Online. On CCO, go to Software and Support, select Software Center, and click on Network Management Products. Next, select Cisco Network Management Toolkit and click on Cisco MIBs.
