About Cisco IOS Software Documentation
Last Updated: October 14, 2009
This document describes the objectives, audience, conventions, and organization used in Cisco IOS
software documentation. Also included are resources for obtaining technical assistance, additional
documentation, and other information from Cisco. This document is organized into the following
sections:
• Documentation Objectives, page i
• Audience, page i
• Documentation Conventions, page i
• Documentation Organization, page iii
• Additional Resources and Documentation Feedback, page xii
Documentation Objectives
Cisco IOS documentation describes the tasks and commands available to configure and maintain Cisco
networking devices.
Audience
The Cisco IOS documentation set is intended for users who configure and maintain Cisco networking
devices (such as routers and switches) but who may not be familiar with the configuration and
maintenance tasks, the relationship among tasks, or the Cisco IOS commands necessary to perform
particular tasks. The Cisco IOS documentation set is also intended for those users experienced with
Cisco IOS software who need to know about new features, new configuration options, and new software
characteristics in the current Cisco IOS release.
Documentation Conventions
In Cisco IOS documentation, the term router may be used to refer to various Cisco products; for example,
routers, access servers, and switches. These and other networking devices that support Cisco IOS
software are shown interchangeably in examples and are used only for illustrative purposes. An example
that shows one product does not necessarily mean that other products are not supported.

are not case sensitive.)
string A string is a nonquoted set of characters shown in italics. For example, when
setting a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community string to
public, do not use quotation marks around the string; otherwise, the string will
include the quotation marks.
Convention Description
bold Bold text indicates commands and keywords that you enter as shown.
italic Italic text indicates arguments for which you supply values.
[x] Square brackets enclose an optional keyword or argument.
... An ellipsis (three consecutive nonbolded periods without spaces) after a syntax
element indicates that the element can be repeated.
| A vertical line, called a pipe, that is enclosed within braces or square brackets
indicates a choice within a set of keywords or arguments.
[x | y] Square brackets enclosing keywords or arguments separated by a pipe indicate an
optional choice.
{x | y} Braces enclosing keywords or arguments separated by a pipe indicate a
required choice.
[x {y | z}] Braces and a pipe within square brackets indicate a required choice within an
optional element.
