About This Guide

This section describes the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the Router Products Getting Started Guide. For information about related publications, refer to the Documentation Roadmap.

Document Objectives

This guide describes the setup command facility and its role within the installation and configuration process. The setup command facility is a specially designed user interface for performing first-time configuration and other basic configuration procedures on all router products, including AGS+, MGS, CGS, Cisco 2500, Cisco 3000, Cisco 4000, and Cisco 7000 systems.
