The Cisco IOS software documentation is divided into nine modules and two master indexes. There are also four supporting documents.
Each module consists of two books: a configuration guide and a corresponding command reference. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, and Cisco IOS software functionality and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference provide complete command syntax information. Each configuration guide can be used in conjunction with its corresponding command reference.
Two master indexes provide indexing information for the Cisco IOS software documentation set: an index for the configuration guides and an index for the command references. In addition, individual books contain a book-specific index.
The Cisco IOS documentation set consists of the following books and chapter topics:

The Cisco IOS software documentation set is available as printed manuals or electronic documents.
You can access the electronic documents either on the Cisco Documentation CD-ROM or on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) on the World Wide Web.
On the Documentation CD-ROM, go to Cisco Product Documentation, select Cisco IOS Software Configuration, and then select Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
On CCO, go to Software and Support and select Documentation. Next, select Documentation, click on Cisco IOS Software Configuration, and then click on Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
New online navigation enhancements for Release 11.3 include:
For additional information about the Documentation CD-ROM and CCO, refer to the sections "Cisco Connection Online" and "Documentation CD-ROM" at the end of these release notes.
Release 11.3 supports features in the following categories:
Detailed descriptions of the features can be found on the Documentation CD-ROM or on CCO.
On the Documentation CD-ROM, go to Cisco Product Documentation, select Cisco IOS Software Configuration, and then select Cisco IOS Release 11.3. From the bulleted list, select New Features in Release 11.3.
On CCO, go to Software and Support and select Documentation. Next, select Documentation, click on Cisco IOS Software Configuration, and then click on Cisco IOS Release 11.3. From the bulleted list, click on New Features in Release 11.3.
The Cisco IOS software is packaged into "feature sets" (also called "software images"). There are many different feature sets available, and each feature set contains a specific subset of Cisco IOS features. The feature set matrix is used to see the overall feature set organization.
The feature set matrix (See Table 1) shows the new feature set organization and lists which feature sets are available on the Cisco 4000 series for Release 11.3. The matrix uses the following symbols:
| Feature Set Matrix Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic | This feature is offered in the basic feature set. |
| Plus | This feature is offered in the Plus feature set |
| Encrypt | This feature is offered in the encryption feature sets, which consist of 40-bit (Plus 40) or 56-bit (Plus 56) data encryption feature sets. |
| Standard Feature Sets | Cisco 4000 Series |
|---|---|
| IP | Basic, Plus, Encrypt |
| Desktop (IP/IPX/AppleTalk/DEC) | Basic, Plus |
| Enterprise | Plus, Encrypt |
| Enterprise APPN | Plus, Encrypt |
Cisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 56-bit DES) are subject to U.S. Government export controls, and have a limited distribution. Images to be installed outside the U.S. require an export license. Customer orders might be denied or subject to delay due to U.S. Government regulations. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.
To determine what features are available with each feature set, see Table 2. The table summarize what features you can use when running a specific feature set on the Cisco 4000 series for Cisco IOS Release 11.3. The feature set table uses the following symbols:

Table 3 describes the memory requirements for the Cisco 4000 series platform's feature set supported by Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 10.3, some software image sizes exceed 4 MB and, when compressed, exceed 2 MB. Also, some systems now require more than 1 MB of main system memory for data structure tables.
For Cisco routers to take advantage of the Release 11.3 features, you must upgrade the code or main system memory as listed in Table 3. Some platforms have specific chip or architecture requirements that affect what can be upgraded and in what increments.

For information on upgrading to a new software release, refer to the Cisco IOS Software Release Upgrade Paths and Packaging Simplification product bulletin #703.
You can also access this product bulletin on the Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-europe.cisco.com, or http://www-china.cisco.com. For more information, refer to the "Cisco Connection Online" section later in this document.
Possibly unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 was found in the following areas:
A complete list of the caveats, including descriptions and possible workarounds, can be found on the Documentation CD-ROM or on CCO.
On the Documentation CD-ROM, go to Cisco Product Documentation, select Cisco IOS Software Configuration, and then select Cisco IOS Release 11.3. From the bulleted list, select Important Notes and Caveats for Release 11.3.
On CCO, go to Software and Support and select Documentation. Next, select Documentation, click on Cisco IOS Software Configuration, and then click on Cisco IOS Release 11.3. From the bulleted list, click on Important Notes and Caveats for Release 11.3.
Cisco Connection Online (CCO) is Cisco Systems' primary, real-time support channel. Maintenance customers and partners can self-register on CCO to obtain additional information and services.
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, CCO provides a wealth of standard and value-added services to the Cisco customers and business partners. CCO services include product information, product documentation, software updates, release notes, technical tips, the Bug Navigator, configuration notes, brochures, descriptions of service offerings, and download access to public and authorized files.
CCO serves a wide variety of users through two interfaces that are updated and enhanced simultaneously: a character-based version and a multimedia version that resides on the World Wide Web (WWW). The character-based CCO supports Zmodem, Kermit, Xmodem, FTP, and Internet e-mail, and it is excellent for quick access to information over lower bandwidths. The WWW version of CCO provides richly formatted documents with photographs, figures, graphics, and video, as well as hyperlinks to related information.
You can access CCO in the following ways:
For a copy of CCO's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), contact cco-help@cisco.com. For additional information, contact cco-team@cisco.com.
Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more up to date than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM is available as a single unit 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.
