Management Options Chapter 2 Product Overview Management Options The Catalyst 3750 switches offer several management options: • Cluster Management Suite (CMS) CMS is a graphical user interface that can be launched from anywhere in your network through a web browser such as Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. CMS is already installed on the switch, and no additional installation is required. 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, refer to the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com, and the online help for this application. • Cisco IOS command-line interface (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. Refer to the Catalyst 3750 Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com for more information. • 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. Refer to 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. Refer to the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com and the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more information. 2-18 Catalyst 3750 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 78-15136-02
