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 current 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. Click Feedback in the toolbar, select Documentation, and click Enter the feedback
form. After you complete the form, click Submit to send it to Cisco. We appreciate your comments.
