About This Manual

This section discusses the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Router Products Command Reference publication.

Document Objectives

This publication provides an in-depth description of the commands necessary for configuring and maintaining your router. It describes tasks only in the context of using a particular command; it does not describe how the tasks interrelate or provide comprehensive configuration examples. It can be used as a standalone reference manual or in conjunction with the Router Products Configuration Guide. Not all of the debug commands are included in this publication, but all of them can be found in the Debug Command Reference publication.

Audience

This publication is intended as a standalone document for experienced network administrators who will be configuring and maintaining routers and would like to reference commands. For less-experienced users who need to understand the tasks as well as the commands, it is intended as a companion guide to the Router Products Configuration Guide.

Document Organization

This publication is divided into six main parts. Each part comprises chapters describing related tasks or functions. The organization of parts and chapters in this publication matches the organization of parts and chapters in the Router Products Configuration Guide, except that this document contains appendixes. The parts in this publication are as follows:

The appendixes contain a list of references and recommended reading, Ethernet type codes, regular expressions, a table of the ASCII character set, a list of the Cisco 7000 processors as they relate to the modular products interface cards, and a description of features supported by IOS Release 10.2
