Configuration Steps; Example Configurations - Cisco Catalyst 2000 Configuration Handbook

xx Cisco LAN Switching Configuration Handbook

Configuration Steps

Each feature that is covered in a section includes the required and optional commands
used for common configuration. The difference is that the configuration steps are pre-
sented in an outline format. If you follow the outline, you can configure a complex fea-
ture or technology. If you find that you don't need a certain feature option, skip over that
level in the outline.

Example Configurations

Each section includes an example of how to implement the commands and their options.
We tried to present the examples with the commands listed in the order you would actu-
ally enter them to follow the outline. Many times, it is more difficult to study and under-
stand a configuration example from an actual switch because the commands are dis-
played in a predefined order—not in the order you entered them. The examples have also
been trimmed down to show only the commands presented in the section (where possible).
Displaying Information About a Feature
Where applicable, each section concludes with a brief summary of the commands you
can use to show information about the switch feature. You can use these command sum-
maries as a quick reference when you are debugging or troubleshooting switch operation.
Further Reading
Most chapters conclude with a recommended reading list to help you find more in-depth
sources of information for the topics discussed.
