Re: DocCD redirects to Products & Services page!

Hi Group,

Can anyone advise what is Cisco doing to the 12.4 stuff on DocCD?

The "Cisco IOS Release 12.4 Master Indexes" is virtually gone as I used it
today.

Searching Command Reference redirects to:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/prod_command_reference_list.html

Anyone taken the lab recently, were you able to open the above page and any
of its links?

Say, I know one particular command but don't know which technology section
it is documented in. I can't search using 12.4 Master Indexes because it is
no longer available. So I try 12.3. But the command is not available there.
Should I go to the 12.4 Command Reference and make a wild guess or randomly
search through some of the technology sections?

Please advise.

Thank you.

BR,
Emil
