Monitoring with CiscoWorks2000
CiscoWorks2000 uses SNMP to monitor and control system devices. You can
integrate CiscoWorks2000 applications with other NMSs, such as HP OpenView.
CiscoWorks2000 Applications
CiscoWorks2000 applications extend industry-standard network management
systems to facilitate checking the status of Cisco devices, maintaining device
configurations and inventories, and troubleshooting device problems.
CiscoWorks2000 applications for monitoring the SNMP devices on your network
include:
• Path Tool—Graphically displays a route of a path from a source device to a
destination device.
• Real-Time Graphs—Monitors the behavior of device interfaces or other
network elements that might be operating in a degraded mode and displays
them in a graph.
• Show Commands—Displays data similar to output from IOS show
commands.
• Health Monitor—Provides device status and access to several
CiscoWorks2000 applications in one window (including Show Commands
and Real-Time Graphs) to monitor SNMP device activity.
• Contacts—Provides quick access to the emergency contact person for a
particular device.
• Log Manager—Enables you to store, query, and delete messages gathered
from CiscoWorks2000 applications and Cisco devices on the network.
Using CiscoWorks2000 for Network Management
CiscoWorks2000 runs an AutoDiscovery mechanism to discover the entire
network, of which Cisco CallManager may be one component. Since
Cisco CallManager supports Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), CiscoWorks2000
can also identify the SPE on which Cisco CallManager is running as a
Cisco CallManager device.
