About This Manual

This section discusses the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference publication.

Document Objectives

This publication provides an in-depth description of the commands necessary for configuring and maintaining your LightStream 1010 ATM switch. It describes tasks only in the context of using a particular command; it does not describe how the tasks interrelate nor does it provide comprehensive configuration examples.You can use this publication as a standalone reference manual or in conjunction with the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Configuration Guide and LightStream 1010 ATM Switch User Guide. Not all of the debug commands are included in this publication. For a complete guide to the debug commands, refer to the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Debug Command Reference.

Several Cisco IOS commands are not currently supported in the LightStream 1010 ATM switch environment. In this document these commands are identified with a note indicating the command or some of its parameters might not function as expected.

Information Online

Cisco documentation and additional literature are available on a CD-ROM called Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series. The CD is updated and shipped monthly so it might be more current than printed documentation. To order the documentation CD, contact your local sales representative or call Customer Service. The CD is available both as a single CD and as a manual subscription. You can also access Cisco technical documentation on the World Wide Web URL http://www.cisco.com.

Document Conventions

Software and hardware documentation uses the following conventions:

• The caret character (^) represents the Control key.
  

For example, the key combinations ^D and Ctrl-D are equivalent: Both mean you should hold down the Control key while pressing the D key. Keys are indicated in capitals but are not case sensitive.

• A string is defined as a nonquoted set of characters.
  

For example, when setting an SNMP community string to "public," do not use quotation marks around the string; otherwise, the string includes the quotation marks.

Command descriptions use these conventions:

• Vertical bars ( | ) separate alternative, mutually exclusive, elements.
  

• Square brackets ([ ]) indicate optional elements.
  

• Braces ({ }) indicate a required choice.
  

• Braces within square brackets ([{ }]) indicate a required choice within an optional element.
  

• Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown.
  

• Italics indicate arguments for which you supply values; in contexts that do not allow italics, arguments are enclosed in angle brackets (< >).
  

Examples use these conventions:

• Examples that contain system prompts denote interactive sessions, indicating that the user enters commands at the prompt. The system prompt indicates the current command mode. For example, the prompt Switch(config)# indicates global configuration mode.
  

• Terminal sessions and information that the system displays are in screen font.
  

• Information you enter is in boldface screen font.
  

• Default responses to system prompts are in square brackets ([ ]).
  

• Exclamation points (!) at the beginning of a line indicate a comment line. They are also displayed by the switch for certain processes.
