The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
This guide is for the networking professional using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) to manage the Cisco IE 2000 switch, hereafter referred to as the switch. Before using this guide, you should have experience working with the Cisco IOS commands and the switch software features. Before using this guide, you should have experience working with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area networking.
The Cisco IE 2000 switch is supported by either the LAN Base image or the LAN Lite image. The LAN Base image provides intelligent Layer 2 services, such as access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS) features. The IP services image includes Layer 2+ features and some Layer 3 routing features.
This guide provides the information that you need about the Layer 2 and Layer 3 commands that have been created or changed for use with the IE 2000 switches. For information about the standard Cisco IOS Release 15.0 commands, see the Cisco IOS documentation set available from the Cisco.com home page by selecting Technical Support & Documentation > Cisco IOS Software.
This guide does not provide procedures for configuring your switch. For detailed configuration procedures, see the software configuration guide for this release.
