Power Supply Feature
The power supply features support the redundant power supplies for the Cisco Catalyst
®
3500 and
3700 Series products as well as the Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500 E-Series power supplies. Users
can prioritize the switch order for drawing power. The amount of power drawn, what switch is
drawing power, and switch priority can all be easily configured and viewed. For the Cisco Catalyst
4500 and 4500 E-Series, this feature provides a convenient way to examine and configure all
system and inline power settings, per device and per module.
Power over Ethernet
The PoE feature gives users access to configure power guarantees per port, and the ability to
police ports and shut faulty ones down. Users can view the power runtime status, the amount of
power consumed, and the device that is connected to the port.
Diagnostics
Administrators can keep their network healthy by running their own diagnostic tests; tests are
scheduled from the Diagnostics window.
CLI Preview
Prior to applying features, users now can view the command lines of certain features.
File Management
The new File Management feature provides an overview of all devices in the community. At a
glance the user can determine the status of all device file systems in their community. Files are
displayed in an easy-to-navigate and familiar file explorer interface.
A file can be managed on all file systems concurrently. Devices that use Class B file systems,
such as the Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500 E-Series and some Cisco routers, support functions for
undeleting files and squeezing file systems to reclaim space.
VLAN Highlighting
From the topology view, users can associate VLAN numbers with colors to quickly view what
devices are in a VLAN. Devices that are associated with more than one VLAN display two or more
colors with a candy-cane effect.
Cross-Launch Switch Device Managers
Network administrators can now cross-launch the switch device manager from the topology view in
Cisco Network Assistant by right-clicking on the device icon to access the device manager.
Telnet Session
Users can access a Telnet session by right-clicking on a device icon from the topology view or
front panel view. Cisco Network Assistant automatically derives the IP address and launches the
Telnet session. This enhancement provides additional convenient access to devices.
Printing
The enhanced print option allows users to print the Topology View or Front Panel View windows on
one page using the “fit to page” option. In addition, reports are now printed in an easier-to-read
format.
Annotated Text
Additional text can be added under devices in the topology view to further describe aspects of your
network, such as the name of a building, floor, or closet.
