Related Documentation
This document provides detailed ATM software configuration examples; however, it does not provide complete ATM software command syntax descriptions or extensive background information on ATM features. For detailed ATM software command syntax information, refer to the ATM Switch Router Command Reference publication. For detailed background information on ATM features and functionality, refer to the Guide to ATM Technology.
You will also find useful information on the command-line interface (CLI) and basic ATM switch router management in the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications.
The ATM switch router documentation set is primarily ATM-specific. You might be referred to the Cisco IOS documentation set for information about IP and router configuration and other non-ATM related features. For example, when configuring the IP address on the ATM switch processor, only basic configuration steps are provided. If you need additional overview or detailed IP configuration information, refer to the Cisco IOS documentation set.
The ATM switch router documents are separated into two groups:
•
Basic documents are provided in the accessory kit with the hardware and are all the documentation you need for initial installation and configuration information.
•
The ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide is one of the advanced configuration documents and should only be used after you have completed the processes described in the basic document set. Refer to the following documents for detailed hardware installation, basic configuration information, and troubleshooting information:
