About This Manual

About This Manual

This manual describes the Cisco WAN switch user commands for System Software Release 9.2. These commands configure, monitor, and manage a network consisting of Cisco WAN switches. (For descriptions of the super user commands, refer to the manual titled Cisco WAN Switch SuperUser Command Reference.) Each chapter pertains to a particular aspect of using a Cisco WAN switch network. For example, "Setting Up Trunks" contains the commands that apply to setting up and configuring trunks in the network (except for trunks between an MGX 8220 shelf and a BPX node). Some commands apply to more than one technology. The addcon command, for example, appears in many chapters. The locations of each single and multi-application command appear in Appendix A, which contains an alphabetical listing of commands with chapter page numbers.

This section discusses the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco WAN Switch Command Reference publication.

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.
