This document discusses CiscoView on AIX, Software Release 3.0(2).
CiscoView is a device management software application that provides dynamic status, statistics, and comprehensive configuration information for Cisco Systems' switched internetworking products. CiscoView allows you to display a graphical representation of each network device, display configuration and performance information, and perform minor troubleshooting tasks. This document includes the following information:
CiscoView allows you to manage the following Cisco devices:
The documentation for CiscoView 3.0(2) includes this document, a CD-ROM booklet, and online help. The primary documentation for CiscoView is its online help. If you have documentation feedback, please forward comments to bug-doc@cisco.com.
The following lists the online help links that are missing or broken. These will be resolved in the next release.
If you cannot open a device in CiscoView, you receive a message indicating that the device is unmanageable. This message indicates one of the following conditions:
This section lists notes and restrictions that apply to the CiscoView on AIX, release 3.0(2).
The installation caveats follow.
Installation of CiscoView puts the HyperHelp X resource file in the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults directory. Because different systems have different X Windows installations, CiscoView does not always read this resource file. If the resource file is not read, the HyperHelp viewer text is unreadable on your screen. Here are some ways to make sure this resource file is read:
xrdb -merge /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/HyperHelp

If you need to install Workgroup Director (a part of CiscoWorks 3.0) and CiscoView on the same workstation, Cisco recommends that you install Workgroup Director before installing CiscoView.
The general caveats follow.
Context-sensitive help does not appear when you press F1. [CSCdi43445]
Whenever the keyboard numlock key is activated (and an indicator lamp is usually on), you cannot select any icon on the CiscoView icon bar. [CSCdi32699]
In monitor dialogs for the Catalyst 5000 and 1200, there is a problem with Counter and Counter 32. Some monitored values are graphed using absolute values instead of delta values. [CSCdi40858]
CiscoView detects, but does not provide, correct status for mission-specific router ports. For example, the Cisco 2503I has one Ethernet interface and one Basic Rate Interface, and the Cisco 2504I has one Token Ring and one BRI interface. CiscoView does not correctly portray the status of these mission-specific router ports. [CSCdi40999]
If you load a new image, you must reenter configuration commands to configure the asynchronous ports as follows:
interface Async1
ip unnumbered TokenRing0 #(or Ethernet0)
interface Async8 #(8 asynchronous ports for Cisco 2509/2511; 16 asynchronous ports for
Cisco 2510/2512)
[CSCdi37062]
The Rewind button will not rewind the same way for all CATEGORY selections on a given port type. In some cases, the CATEGORY display is invalid after rewinding. Select the default CATEGORY and rewind to work around the problem. [CSCdi39539]
CiscoView can run out of colors; CiscoView will continue to run, but all colors it cannot allocate will turn to black or white. You can avoid the lack of colors by starting CiscoView before starting color-intensive applications, or by using a private colormap for the color-intensive applications. To use a private colormap, enter the following after login:
hostname% application_name -install).
