Preface
PAGE 4
Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) provide the foundation for systems design based on common use cases
or current engineering system priorities. They incorporate a broad set of technologies, features, and
applications to address customer needs. Cisco engineers have comprehensively tested and documented
each CVD in order to ensure faster, more reliable, and fully predictable deployment.
Documentation for Cisco Validated Designs
Cisco Preferred Architecture (PA) Design Overview guides help customers and sales teams select the
appropriate architecture based on an organization's business requirements; understand the products that
are used within the architecture; and obtain general design best practices. These guides support sales
processes.
Cisco Validated Design (CVD) guides provide detailed steps for deploying the Cisco Preferred
Architectures. These guides support planning, design, and implementation of the Preferred Architectures.
Cisco Collaboration Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) guide provides detailed design options for
Cisco Collaboration. The SRND should be referenced when design requirements are outside the scope of
Cisco Preferred Architectures.
Many CVD guides tell you how to use a command-line interface (CLI) to configure network devices. This
section describes the conventions used to specify commands that you must enter.
Commands to enter at a CLI appear as follows:
configure terminal
Commands that specify a value for a variable appear as follows:
ntp server 10.10.48.17
Commands with variables that you must define appear as follows:
class-map [highest class name]
Commands at a CLI or script prompt appear as follows:
Router# enable
Long commands that line wrap are underlined. Enter them as one command:
police rate 10000 pps burst 10000 packets conform-action set-discard-class-
transmit 48 exceed-action transmit
