Superior manageability: The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series with LAN Base software provide
several management options. The Cisco Network Assistant management tool provides intuitive, scalable
management features to help you easily deploy and operate your network. Using the Cisco Network
Assistant’s PC-based simple graphical interface, wizards, and Cisco Smartports tools, you can quickly
configure all your Cisco switches, routers, and wireless access points in your network. Cisco Network
Assistant includes the Cisco Troubleshooting Advisor, which identifies cabling problems, common
configuration errors, and other potential problems in the network and recommends corrective action. Cisco
Network Assistant is offered as a free download. Visit www.cisco.com/go/cna for the latest version. For more
extensive management, the switches also support configuration and integration with Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP)-based network management platforms, such as the CiscoWorks LAN
Management Solution (LMS). CiscoWorks LMS provides an extensive library of easy-to-use features to
automate the initial and day-to-day management of your Cisco network infrastructure. Using Cisco hardware
and software platform knowledge and operational experience, CiscoWorks LMS is a powerful set of workflow-
driven configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and administrative tools.
