Catalyst 2900 Series XL Management Options
The switch offers the following management options:
• Cisco Visual Switch Manager software and Switch Network View
• Cisco IOS CLI
• CiscoView application
• SNMP network management platforms
Cisco Visual Switch Manager Software
The web-based Cisco Visual Switch Manager Software provides access to the switch
through a browser. Using the manager software, you can configure the switch through the
graphical user interface, monitor a live image of the switch, and display statistics.
The Cisco Switch Network View, hereafter referred to as the network view, displays a map
of up to four Catalyst 2900 series XL switches and the devices connected to them. The
network view shows the kinds of links between the devices and can display reports about
each link and device. The Cisco Visual Stack displays real-time images of up to four
Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.
Cisco IOS Command-Line Interface
You can access the Cisco IOS CLI by connecting a PC or terminal to the console port on
the rear panel or by using Telnet. Instructions for using the CLI are in the Chapter 6, “Cisco
IOS Management” chapter.
CiscoView Application
The CiscoView device-management application displays an image of the switch. You can
point and click on the image to set configuration parameters and get statistics about the
switch and its performance. CiscoView runs as a stand-alone application or as part of an
SNMP network-management platform.
