Thank you for the links , and I believe it is safe to say that if you see
/univercd within url that is is reachable ? I wasn't under the impression
that we were speaking specifically in regards to internetworking companies.
The thread asked if there were any other comparisons of a company who had
docs that may be deemed better when viewed from a technical written
perspective. I was just providing an example. Anytime I am looking up a
piece of info of how linux may work I simply know that go to redhat first as
they always have clear concise articles even organized by build of kernel. I
think docCD is great , but is there room for improvement ? I believe so.
Again thanks for the links..
-Andy

There are tons of good examples from the configuration guides on the
documentation CD.
Configuring IP Multicast Routing
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr
_c/ipcpt3/1cfmulti.htm
Configuring BGP
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr
_c/ipcprt2/1cfbgp.htm
etc, etc, etc, etc
You should also look at the "new feature" documentation:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122
t/index.htm
Not to mention all the design guides and troubleshooting information on the
CD:
Internetwork Design Guide
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/idg4/index.htm
Internetwork Troubleshooting Handbook
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/itg_v1/index.htm
Internetworking Case Studies
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/itg_v1/index.htm
Internetworking Technology Handbook
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/index.htm
Lastly I would not put Redhat in the same category as Juniper, Cisco, or
Extreme as a networking equipment vendor ;-)

But are they are available on the Web ??? That is key... Make sure the
section you are viewing are within the scope of the /univercd directory
base.... I am not saying that it is horrible by far... Brian just asked if
someone has an example of something Thought better quality than cisco... I
gave an example being Redhat.. So do you have some of these examples ???

I can REHAT LINUX by far .... Very detailed , scenario based easy to read
docs... I look for scenario based examples , not just a command option1
option2 type thing , when you look at cisco command ref the guideline
section is very brief , some of them are fine but others leave you wondering
...

Tim,
Can you give an example of another vendor that puts out a better
documentation CD?

Hi guys,
I'm just wondering how many people think like I do that Cisco
Documentation is
extremely poor
especially what's included on the Doc-CD?
Aside from complaining about how terrible it is, do you think there's
anything
that can be done that would make Cisco vastly improve the quality of
it's
documentation?
Personally, I think Cisco should demand the same level of quality from
it's
documentation as it does for potential ccie's.
Can you imagine how good the documentation would be if the quality of
the
documentation had to be as high as the skills
needed to pass the ccie lab?
What's your opinion?
Tim
