About This Manual

This section discusses the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco 1020 Command Reference publication.

Document Objectives

This publication provides an in-depth description of the commands necessary for configuring and maintaining your Cisco 1020 router. It describes tasks only in the context of using a particular command; it does not describe how the tasks interrelate or provide comprehensive configuration examples.
