Operational Consistency and Control
The Cisco Catalyst 4900M includes a console port to manage all system features. Remote in-band management is
available with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Telnet client, BOOTP, and Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP). Support for local or remote out-of-band management is delivered through a terminal or modem
attached to the console interface.
The Cisco Catalyst 4900M supports file allocation table (FAT) file systems. System images can be updated directly
through Microsoft Windows–based machines with compact flash memory readers.
Using CiscoWorks solutions, Cisco Catalyst switches can be configured and managed to deliver end-to-end device,
VLAN, traffic, and policy management. The CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) bundle offers tools such
as CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials and CiscoWorks CiscoView. These web-based management tools
offer several services, including automated inventory collection, software deployment, easy tracking of network
changes, views into device availability, and quick isolation of error conditions.
