Preface

This preface defines the audience for the ATM and Layer 3 Switch Router Command Reference, and describes how this publication should be used. Specific new or modified commands, as well as the features these commands represent, are found in the "New and Changed Information" section. This preface also explains the document conventions, and provides information on how to obtain related documentation.

Audience

This publication is intended as a stand alone document for experienced network administrators who will be configuring and maintaining switches or switch routers, and who would also like to reference the 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 ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.
