About This Guide

This section defines the audience and scope of this guide and briefly describes the 
contents of each chapter. There are also descriptions of the icons and conventions 
used to convey instructions and information.

Audience and Scope

This guide is for the technician installing the Catalyst 2900 series XL modules, 
hereafter referred to as the 2900 series modules. We assume that you are familiar 
with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local-area networking. This 
guide provides the information you need to install the 2900 series modules and to 
troubleshoot problems associated with their installation.

Note

The 2900 series modules and their ports are managed through one of 
the management interfaces of a Catalyst 2900 series switch. For 
more information, see the 

Catalyst 2900 Series XL Installation and 

Configuration Guide
