I don't think they ship them with the products anymore, but you can buy
them.
All the information online is supposed to be the 'latest and greatest'
so you are better off using the online version.

Subject: DocCD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys,
We recently bought many Cisco products in our company including NAC.
LMS, ACS, IPS, WLC to name a few. Every product document says that it
comes with the Document CD. But, I do not see any CD.
Do they mean the DocCD? This may sound silly but, I really would like to
know.
Regards,
Ananth
