Overview Cisco Network Assistant 3.0 PRODUCT OVERVIEW Cisco Network Assistant is a PC-based network management application optimized for small- and midsized-business (SMB) networks with up to 250 users. Using Cisco Smartports technology, Cisco Network Assistant offers centralized network management and configuration to simplify deployment and ongoing maintenance. Through a user-friendly GUI, users can easily apply common services such as configuration management, inventory reports, password synchronization, and drag-and-drop Cisco IOS Software upgrades across Cisco SMB-class switches, routers, and access points. Cisco Network Assistant is available at no cost and can be downloaded from Cisco.com. Cisco Network Assistant 3.0 offers unique features and functions for the Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series switches. In addition to these unique features, Cisco Network Assistant 3.0 also supports event notification, keyboard navigation, and a simplified menu. Additional hardware support includes the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series and Catalyst 4500 Series. For additional information on the Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series, please visit: http://www.cisco.com/go/catalystexpress500 KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS Smart Smartports Advisor Improved This embedded advisory tool discovers devices and requests to apply the Cisco recommended configurations for security, availability, and QoS features on a switch, router, or access point without the need to consult a detailed design guide or documentation. Cisco Smartports technology saves time for network administrators, avoids human error, and helps ensure that the configuration of the switch, router, or access point is optimized for these applications. Event Notification The new event notification system alerts users when a new version of Cisco Network Assistant is available for download, a potential issue arises with a device in your network, or if a configuration change is required. A dialogue box provides all necessary information regarding the event such as time, description, and, if applicable, suggestions to resolve the issue. Online Help A detailed, easy-to-use help function embedded in the framework of Cisco Network Assistant 3.0 provides an extensive glossary and powerful search engine that takes you to the correct (requested) window or related links to apply specific settings. Online Help empowers you to find instruction and troubleshoot without having to call for technical support. All contents are Copyright 1992 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Simple Community Community is the next-generation discovery mechanism that allows common services to be applied to SMB-class switches, routers, and access points. These services include Cisco IOS Software upgrades, configuration management, inventory reports, network events, alerts, and password synchronization. Drag-and-Drop Cisco IOS Software Upgrade With this feature, you can easily upgrade Cisco IOS Software on a Cisco Catalyst SMB-class switch, router, or access point by dragging the Cisco IOS Software from the PC desktop and dropping it onto the icon of the desired device in the topology view. You no longer need to type out the Cisco IOS Software filename or select a particular Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server IP address. Topology and Front-Panel Views You can monitor your network from two perspectives: the physical topology view and the front-panel view. The rich topology view graphically represents the types of devices in the network as well as detailed information about device status, physical connections, and various monitoring capabilities, all from a single view. The front-panel view displays switches in the network simultaneously along with the state, duplex, and speed of switch ports. Plus, you can save time by selecting multiple ports across multiple switches to set parameters such as VLANs. In addition, real-time comprehensive reports are available for inventory, ports, quality of service (QoS), and access control list (ACL) statistics Secure Community Security Cisco Network Assistant now provides a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection between the Cisco Network Assistant client and each connected device in a community to help ensure that all of your sensitive information is secure. ADDITIONAL FEATURES The Cisco Network Assistant offers the following new features for managing Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series switches: Ping and traceroute HTTPS New Hardware Support Full hardware support has been added for the Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series and Catalyst 2960 Series switches.
