5.2.6 CiscoView
CiscoView is a Web-based device management application providing dynamic status,
monitoring, and configuration information for the broad range of Cisco internetworking
products. CiscoView displays a physical view of a device chassis, with color-coding of
modules and ports for at-a-glance status. Monitoring capabilities display performance and
other statistics. Configuration capabilities allow comprehensive changes to devices, given
requisite security privileges are granted.
During the development and testing of the topologies and configurations documented in this
Redpaper, we used CiscoView Version 5.5 and loaded the latest device package for the Cisco
Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module to access and manage the switching
device.
The device package can be downloaded from the following Web site:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cview50
The file name (at the time of this writing) is cigesm.cv50.v1-1.zip.
