Preface

This section discusses the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco WAN Switching SuperUser 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. 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.

If you are reading Cisco product documentation on the World Wide Web, you can submit comments electronically. Click Feedback in the toolbar, select Documentation, and click Enter the feedback form. After you complete the form, click Submit to send it to Cisco. We appreciate your comments.

Objectives

This publication gives instructions on how to use the command line interface to execute SuperUser (privilege level 0) commands on the Cisco WAN switch nodes.

Audience

The SuperUser commands apply to tasks that require deeper product knowledge and responsibility than the standard user commands. (For descriptions of the standard user commands, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference.) The SuperUser commands, for example, let you

• Configure statistics gathering and alarm reporting
  
  
• Display more varied and extensive statistics
  
  
• Perform software and firmware upgrades
  
  
• Troubleshoot at a level that requires deeper product knowledge

The AXIS shelf is now called the Cisco MGX™ 8220 edge concentrator. Any switch in the IGX switch family (IGX 8, IGX 16 and IGX 32 wide-area switches) is now called the Cisco IGX™ 8400 series multiband switches. The IGX 8 switch is now called the Cisco IGX™ 8410 multiband switch.
