Network Management
Cisco StrataView Plus Terminal
A Cisco StrataView Plus workstation is recommended for managing a network containing IPX, IGX,
and BPX switch. Refer to the Cisco StrataView Plus Operation Manual and Cisco StrataView Plus
Installation Manual for setup instructions and specifications for the Cisco StrataView Plus NMS,
which is required to provide network alarm, control, and statistics monitoring.
Note For network management, a Cisco StrataView Plus workstation is connected to the LAN port
of one or more network nodes, typically BPX switches because of their processing power, to provide
network management.
Control Port, Local Control
A terminal (pc or workstation, including a Cisco StrataView Plus workstation) can be connected to
the CONTROL port of a BPX switch for temporary or local control. This can be especially useful
during installation, initial power-up, and configuration. Refer to Table C-1 for configuration data for
the BPX CONTROL port.
