Management
The new Express Setup feature simplifies the initial configuration of a switch. Now you can set up
the switch through a Web browser, eliminating the need for terminal-emulation programs and the
command-line interface (CLI). Express Setup reduces the cost of deployment by helping less-
skilled personnel quickly and easily set up switches.
Cisco Network Assistant is a PC-based network-management application optimized for LANs with
up to 250 users. Cisco Network Assistant offers centralized management of Cisco switches,
routers, and WLAN access points. It supports a wide range of Cisco Catalyst intelligent switches
from Cisco Catalyst 2960 through Cisco Catalyst 4506. Through a user-friendly GUI, users can
configure and manage a wide array of switch functions and start the device manager of Cisco
routers and Cisco wireless access points. A few mouse clicks enable the Cisco recommended
security, availability, and QoS features without the need to consult a detailed design guide. The
Security wizard automatically restricts unauthorized access to servers with sensitive data.
Smartports and wizards save time for network administrators, reduce human errors, and help
ensure that the configuration of the switch is optimized for these applications. Available at no cost,
Cisco Network Assistant can be downloaded from the Cisco Website.
In addition to Cisco Network Assistant, Cisco Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Series Switches provide for
extensive management using SNMP network-management platforms such as the CiscoWorks
LAN Management Solution (LMS). CiscoWorks LMS is a suite of powerful management tools that
simplify the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Cisco networks. It
integrates these capabilities into a world-class solution for improving the accuracy and efficiency of
your operations staff, while increasing the overall availability of your network. CiscoWorks LMS
supports over 400 different device types, providing:
●
Network discovery, topology views, end-station tracking, and VLAN management
●
Real-time network fault analysis with easy-to-deploy device-specific best-practice templates
