CiscoWorks for Switched Internetworks
CiscoWorks for Switched Internetworks (CWSI) can augment HP OpenView,
SunNet Manager, or NetView/AIX, in addition to running as a stand-alone appli-
cation on NT or UNIX--including Solaris, HP-UNIX, and AIX. The application
includes a number of tools for installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Table 11.3 documents some of the more relevant functions within CWSI.

Application
Function
CiscoView
A graphical application that provides virtual chassis viewing,
configuration tools, performance monitoring, and minor trou-
bleshooting functions.
VlanDirector
Switching is most useful when combined with virtual
LANs. The VlanDirector application provides a graphical
administration tool for adding users, assigning ports, and
changing associations.
TrafficDirector
RMON, or remote monitoring, is one of the best baselining
and troubleshooting tools in switched environments. Traffic-
Director provides a united view of the switched network, in-
cluding trunk links and switch ports.
AtmDirector
In Asynchronous Transfer Mode networks, this tool eases
installation and administration.
User Tracking
Cisco switches permit VLAN assignments based on dynamic
parameters, including the MAC layer address. User Tracking
defines these dynamic VLANs and tracks stations within the
network.
