About the Cisco IOS Software Documentation
This chapter discusses the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco IOS software documentation. It also discusses how to obtain documentation on Cisco Connection Online and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Documentation Objectives
This Cisco IOS software documentation describes the tasks and commands necessary to configure and maintain your networking device.
Audience
The Cisco IOS software documentation is intended primarily for users who configure and maintain networking devices, but are not necessarily familiar with tasks, the relationship between tasks, or the commands necessary to perform particular tasks.
Documentation Organization
The Cisco IOS software documentation is divided into 12 modules and 2 master indexes. In addition to the main documentation set, there are 4 supporting documents.
Documentation Modules
The Cisco IOS documentation modules consist of configuration guides and corresponding command reference publications. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, and Cisco IOS software functionality and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference publication provide complete command syntax information. Use each configuration guide in conjunction with its corresponding command reference publication.
Documentation Set
The Cisco IOS software documentation set is shown in Figure 1.
Note
The abbreviations next to the book icons are page designators (for example, FC, FR, and so on), which are defined in a key in the index of each document to help with navigation. The bulleted lists under each module describe the major technology areas discussed in their corresponding books.

Note
Timesaver
Within the Cisco IOS software documentation, the term router is generally used to refer to a variety of networking devices (for example, routers, access servers, and Route Switch Modules). Within examples, routers, access servers, and other networking devices that support Cisco IOS software are shown alternately. These products are used only for example purposes; that is, an example that shows one product does not indicate that other products are not supported.
Command Syntax Conventions
Command descriptions use the following conventions:
Cisco Connection Online
Cisco Connection Online (CCO) is the primary, real-time support channel for Cisco Systems. Maintenance customers and partners can self-register on CCO to obtain additional information and services.
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, CCO provides a wealth of standard and value-added services to customers and business partners of Cisco Systems. CCO services include product information, product documentation, software updates, release notes, technical tips, the Bug Navigator, configuration notes, brochures, descriptions of service offerings, and download access to public and authorized files.
CCO serves a wide variety of users through two interfaces that are updated and enhanced simultaneously: a character-based version and a multimedia version that resides on the World Wide Web (WWW). The character-based CCO supports Zmodem, Kermit, Xmodem, FTP, and Internet e-mail, and it is excellent for quick access to information over lower bandwidths. The WWW version of CCO provides richly formatted documents with photographs, figures, graphics, and video, as well as hyperlinks to related information.
You can access CCO in the following ways:

Note
Documentation CD-ROM
Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly; therefore, it might be more current than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.
