Work flows, task flows, and procedures 27
The task flows guide you through activities to use the Nortel Ethernet
Routing Switch 2500 Series, whether it is configuration, upgrading,
installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
Each flow provides the prerequisites and links to the tasks or procedures.
To perform or refer to a procedure, always follow the task flow. Following
the task flows ensures that you meet all the requirements for successful
completion of the task.
Work flows, task flows, and procedures
Work flows, task flows, and procedures have similar elements to maintain
consistency and usability. Each of the following sections have a specific
function:
•
“Purpose statements” (page 27)
• “Prerequisites” (page 27)
• “Work flows or task flows” (page 27)
•
“Procedure steps” (page 28)
• “Example procedures” (page 28)
•
“Variable definitions” (page 28)
•
“Job aid” (page 28)
To understand the relationship between work flows, task flows, and
procedures, see Work flows, task flows, and procedures in task-based
documentation.
Purpose statements
Purpose statements explain why or when you would perform a work flow,
task, or procedure and impact.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites list everything you must do or understand before you
start the workflow, task, or procedure. Prerequisites can include tasks
that should already be completed, risks, confirmation of system status,
required knowledge, time estimates or limitations, and links to supporting
