About This Guide
This preface discusses the audience, organization, and conventions used in this guide. It also provides information on how to access this guide and other Cisco documentation on the Documentation CD-ROM that ships with the Cisco 827 routers and is on the World Wide Web.
This guide is intended for network administrators whose backgrounds vary from having no or little experience configuring routers to having a high level of experience. You can use this guide in the following ways:
- You have configured the software using the Cisco 800 Fast Step application, the Windows-95, -NT, and -98-based configuration tool, and want to configure additional advanced software features using the command-line interface (CLI).
- You want to configure the software using only the CLI.
Note Cisco recommends that inexperienced network administrators use the Cisco Fast Step application to configure their routers.
