About This Manual

The Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Command Reference describes the commands for the Catalyst 2900 series XL and the Catalyst 3500 series XL switches (hereafter referred to as the 2900 XL switch and the 3500 XL switch).

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 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, and select Documentation. After you complete the form, click Submit to send it to Cisco. We appreciate your comments.
