Benefit
• Cisco CMS Software provides an easy-to-use, Web-based management interface
through a standard Web browser.
• Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) wizards need
just a few user inputs to automatically configure the switch to optimally handle
different types of traffic: voice, video, multicast, and high-priority data.
• A security wizard is provided to restrict unauthorized access to applications,
servers, and networks.
• Cisco CMS Software allows management of up to 16 interconnected Cisco
Catalyst 3750, 3550, 2950, 2950 LRE, 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 helps ensure any
combination of the above switches can be managed with a Cisco Catalyst 3750
Series switch.
• The cluster software upgrade feature allows one-click software upgrade across
an entire cluster of Cisco Catalyst 3750, 3550, 2950, 2950 LRE, 3500 XL, 2900 XL,
2900 LRE XL, and 1900 switches. Configuration cloning enables rapid
deployment of networks. The master switch automatically upgrades each stack.
• Cisco CMS Software has been extended to include multilayer feature
configurations such as routing protocols, ACLs, and QoS parameters.
• Cisco Clustering now supports member discovery and cluster creation across a
single Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switch routed hop, enabling the entire LAN to
be managed through a single Web interface (and with a single IP address, if
desired).
• Cisco CMS Software Guide Mode assists in the configuration of powerful
advanced features by providing step-by-step instructions.
• Cisco CMS Software provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive
assistance.
• The easy-to-use graphical interface provides both a topology map and
front-panel view of the cluster and stacks.
• Multidevice and multiport configuration capabilities allow administrators to save
time by configuring features across multiple switches and ports simultaneously.
• Web-based management for a Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point is launched
by clicking the relevant icon in the topology map.
• The user-personalized interface allows modification of polling intervals, table
views, and other settings within Cisco CMS Software and retains these settings.
• Alarm notification provides automated e-mail notification of network errors and
alarm thresholds.
• Web browser setup utility allows one-click initialization for IP addresses and
passwords.
• CiscoWorks network-management software provides management capabilities
on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a common management interface
for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs. Stacking is supported.
• SNMP v1, v2c, and 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 versions 1 and 2 enable a CiscoWorks
network-management station for automatic switch discovery.
• The CiscoWorks 2000 LAN Management Solution provides support.
