From CMS, you can fully configure and monitor a switch or switch clusters, display network
topologies to gather link information, and display switch images to modify switch- and port-level
settings. For more information, see the “Getting Started with CMS” chapter of the switch software
configuration guide on Cisco.com and the online help for this application.
• Cisco Network Assistant
Cisco Network Assistant is a free software program that you download from Cisco.com and run on
your PC. It offers advanced options for configuring and monitoring multiple devices, including
switches, switch clusters, switch stacks, routers, and access points. Network Assistant is free—there
is no charge to download, install, or use it.
Follow these steps:
a. Go to this Web address: http://www.cisco.com/go/NetworkAssistant
You must be a registered Cisco.com user, but you need no other access privileges.
b. Find the Network Assistant installer.
c. Download the Network Assistant installer, and run it. (You can run it directly from the web if
your browser offers this choice.)
d. When you run the installer, follow the displayed instructions. In the final panel, click Finish to
complete the Network Assistant installation.
See the Network Assistant online help and the getting started guide for more information.
• Cisco IOS CLI
The switch CLI is based on Cisco IOS software and is enhanced to support desktop-switching
features. You can fully configure and monitor the switch and switch cluster members from the CLI.
You can access the CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch console
port or by using Telnet from a remote management station. See the Catalyst 3560 Switch Command
Reference on Cisco.com for more information.
For setup instructions that use the CLI, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the
CLI-Based Setup Program.”
• CiscoView application
The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image that you can use to set
configuration parameters and to view switch status and performance information. The CiscoView
application, which you purchase separately, can be a standalone application or part of a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) platform. See the CiscoView documentation for more
information.
• SNMP network management
You can manage switches from a SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms
such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of Management
Information Base (MIB) extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the switch
software configuration guide on Cisco.com and the documentation that came with your SNMP
application for more information.
