Tech Tips are provided by the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at Cisco, in other words, the tech support engineer types. They address issues that the TAC engineers have come across when working with many customers.
The Doc CD is provided by the Documentation department at Cisco, in other words, the tech writer types. The Documenation department writes the Configuration Guides and Command References and related material. Their documents tend to me more formal and comprehensive, covering every little command and command parameter, whether a customer will ever use it or not. I don't think TAC material is on the CD, is it?? Remember the CD comes from the Documenation department. As far as navigating the CD, you have to know where topcs are in the Config Guides and Command References. Some topics might be obvious, but a lot aren't. For example, where might you find info on SNMP configuration? How about using extended ping? Or configuing tunnels? Or loopback interfaces? Policy-based routing? Traffic shaping? Frame Relay traffic shaping? How about the Web Cache Communication Protocol? Could you go right to each of those topics quickly? You have to learn where topics are. You won't want to depend on a search engine which will find way too much, some of which won't be for the IOS that you're suing. You also won't want to depend on logic since the categorization of topics isn't based on logic in some cases. ;-) I think it will just take practice. I don't know of any shortcuts. Does anyone else? _______________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.troubleshootingnetworks.com www.priscilla.com Cisco Nuts wrote: > > Hello, > Does any one know of any specific shortcuts ( one example) on > how to use the > DOC Cd efficiently? > > I keep hearing and reading that you should know how to navigate > this cd as > it is your friend in the Lab but all I can do is get to the > command and > configuration guide and lookup specific features/cmds? > > Is there a better way?
