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.
