Document Conventions

This section discusses conventions and terminology used throughout this manual.

•pointer—indicates where the mouse action is to occur

•select—to push and hold down the left mouse button

•release—to let up on a mouse button to initiate an action

•click—to select and release a mouse button without moving the pointer

•double-click—to click a mouse button twice quickly without moving the pointer

•drag—to move the pointer by sliding the mouse with one or more buttons selected

This manual uses this terminology throughout (even though it is possible for individual users to customize their devices to use the buttons in an alternative manner).

In situations that allow more than one item to be selected from a list simultaneously, the following actions are supported:

•To select a single item in a list, click the entry. Clicking a second time on a previously selected entry deselects it.

•To select a contiguous block of items, click the first entry; then, without releasing the mouse button, drag to the last desired entry and release. (A subsequent click anywhere on the window deselects all previous selections.)

•To extend a currently selected block, hold the Shift key down and click the entry at the end of the group to be added.

•To add a noncontiguous entry to the selection group, press the Ctrl (Control) key and click the entry to be added.

Names of on-window elements that you click or select (menu names, commands, and controls such as buttons, drop-down lists, and so on) are printed in bold font.

Bold font is also used for keywords, names of commands, and names of keys on the keyboard.

Text displayed as on-window examples is printed in courier font.

When set off from the main text, words and characters you should enter by the keyboard are printed in bold font. When the word or character string is enclosed in angle brackets (< and >), you should substitute your own character string for the example presented in the text.

For example, when you see:

login: root

you should specify the string root at the login prompt. However, when you see:

password: <rootpassword>

you should specify your own password in place of the character string <rootpassword>.

The italic style is used to emphasize words, to introduce new terms, and for titles of printed publications (however, not titles of CD-ROMs or floppy disks).

Note Means reader take note. Notes contain helpful suggestions or references to materials not contained in this manual.

Caution Means reader be careful. In this situation, you might do something that could result in equipment damage or loss of data.

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support Website

The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
