Manageability
Cluster
Management Suite
• Built-in Web-based Cisco CMS Software provides an easy- to-use Web-based management
interface through a standard Web browser.
• Cisco AVVID Wizards use just a few user inputs to automatically configure the switch to
optimally handle different types of traffic: voice, video, multicast, and/or high-priority data.
• A security wizard is provided to restrict unauthorized access to servers and networks, and
restrict certain applications on the network.
• Cisco CMS Software allows the user to manage up to 16inter-connected Cisco Catalyst 3550,
2950, 3500 XL, 2900 XL, 2900 LRE XL, and 1900 switches through a single IP address,
without the limitation of being physically located in the same wiring closet. Full backward
compatibility ensures any combination of the above switches can be managed with a Cisco
Catalyst 3550 switch.
• The cluster software upgrade feature allows the user to automatically upgrade the system
software on a group of Cisco Catalyst 3550, 2950, 3500 XL, 2900 XL, 2900 LRE XL, and
1900 switches.
• Cisco Cluster Management Suite Software has been extended to include multilayer feature
configurations such as Routing Protocols, ACLs, and QoS parameters.
• Clustering now supports member discovery and cluster creation across a single
Catalyst 3550 routed hop, enabling the entire LAN to be managed in a single web interface
(and with a single IP address if desired).
• Cisco Cluster Management Suite Guide Mode assists users in the configuration of powerful
advanced features by providing step-by-step instructions.
• Cisco Cluster Management Suite provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive
assistance.
• Easy-to-use graphical interface provides both a topology map and front panel view of
the cluster.
• Multi-device and multi-port configuration capabilities allow network administrators to save
time by configuring features across multiple switches and ports simultaneously.
• One-click software upgrades can be performed across the entire cluster simultaneously, and
configuration cloning enables rapid deployment of networks.
• Ability to launch the web-based management for a Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point by
simply clicking on its icon in the topology map.
• User-personalized interface allows users to modify polling intervals, table views, and other
settings within CMS and retain these settings the next time they use CMS.
• Alarm notification provides automated email notification of network errors and alarm
thresholds.
• A troubleshooting toolbox, including L2 and L3 traceroute and Ping, helps administrators
find network problems quickly.
CiscoWorks
Support
• Manageable through CiscoWorks network management software on a per-port and
per-switch basis providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches
and hubs.
• SNMP v1, v2c, v3 and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band
management, and a CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band
management.
• Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Versions 1 and 2 enable a CiscoWorks network management
station to automatically discover the switch in a network topology.
• Supported by the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (includes Resource Manager
Essentials, Campus Manager, CiscoView, and Device Fault Manager); QoS Policy Manager
(QPM); ACS; User Registration Tool (URT); CiscoWorks SNMS; Service Level Manager; and
Internet Performance Monitor (IPM).
