Work flows, task flows, and procedures 25
The task flows guide you through activities to use the Nortel Ethernet
Routing Switch 8600, 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 have similar elements to maintain

Purpose statements
Purpose statements explain why or when you would perform a work flow,
task, or procedure and its impact.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites lists everything you must do or understand before you start
the workflow, task, or procedure, such as tasks that should already be
completed, risks, confirmation of system status, required knowledge, time
estimates or limitations, and links to supporting information.
The prerequisite section is omitted if no required prerequisites exist.

This section is the flow chart diagram that represents the task flow with
