This preface describes who should read Using COPS QoS Policy Manager and its document conventions.
The preface covers these topics:
To use COPS QoS Policy Manager (QPM-COPS), you should have an understanding of network management and TCP/IP. You should know how to use Microsoft Windows NT, and maintain complex IP networks. You should understand your network's application traffic behavior and application service priorities.
An understanding of QoS mechanisms and features, and their applicability to your network environment is required. Cisco recommends that you read other sources on Quality of Service to get a complete understanding of this complex subject.
COPS QoS Policy Manager's (QPM-COPS) online help system provides task-oriented help and context-sensitive online help that is available from every page that contains a Help button.
The help system includes an index and is organized the same way as the QPM-COPS documentation set so that you need only once learn where to find a specific piece of information.
QPM-COPS is installed into the CiscoWorks2000 application interface. QPM-COPS includes online help that provides procedural and conceptual information to assist you in using the product.
The online help includes a table of contents, an index, a glossary, and the ability to search the help for keywords of your choosing. You can search just the QPM-COPS help system, or you can search the help systems for all installed CiscoWorks2000 applications.
You can access online help in any of these ways:
To print a copy of the manual associated with the application, or to view or search an Adobe Acrobat version of the help system, click the PDF button in the top left frame. You must install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, either as an independent application or as a plug-in to your browser, to view PDF files.
From Acrobat, you can search the entire manual, print the entire manual or selected pages, or read the manual online. Click the Bookmarks and Page button to view a table of contents for the document in the left-hand margin if it is not already displayed. These bookmarks provide an easy way to navigate through the document.
