Downloading the IPM Client
Downloading the IPM Client
You can access the IPM client installation software from the CiscoWorks homepage. This access is
useful if you do not have the CD-ROM, or if you prefer to download the software using your Web
browser.
After you have downloaded the IPM client installation software to your workstation, you must install the
software on your local system.
You cannot download the Solaris client from Windows IPM servers. You can download it only from
Solaris IPM Servers.
The following sections provide details on downloading the IPM client:
• Downloading the IPM Client for Solaris
