You can use this document to learn about and configure these new features. For information about features in Release 11.2, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 . For information about features in other Release 11.2 releases, refer to the release note and feature guide for that release. Use Release 11.2 P when your hardware specifically requires this release or when the features and functionality you need are provided only in this release.
P is a platform-specific release.
It is an independent software release that includes all the software defect modifications of Cisco IOS Release 11.2 and new platform feature support. Because this document describes new features only, you might need to use this document in conjunction with the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 configuration guides and command references in order to obtain complete configuration information. This document is intended for users who configure and maintain Cisco IOS software but who are not necessarily familiar with specific tasks, the relationships between tasks, or the commands necessary to perform particular tasks. This feature guide is published at each 11.2 P maintenance release. With each publication a new feature part, which contains the features associated with that maintenance release, is added to this guide.
