This preface describes who should read the Software Configuration Guide---Catalyst 5000, 4000, 2948G, 2926G, and 2926 Series Switches, how it is organized, and its document conventions.
Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, 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 package is available as a single package 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.
If you are reading Cisco product documentation on the World Wide Web, you can submit comments electronically:
1. Click Feedback in the toolbar.
2. Select Documentation.
3. Complete the form, click Submit, and send it to Cisco Systems.
If you are reading printed documentation that contains a response card, you can complete the card and mail it to Cisco Systems.
We appreciate your comments.
