Network Management Support CD Instructions

Network Management Support CD Instructions

This CD-ROM contains the latest Cisco network management device and application support files. These files are organized into product packages and provide up-to-date management support for the latest Cisco devices.

For all platforms, follow the instructions to mount and then refer to the software installation instructions located on the CD-ROM in a README file. There will be README files for each platform/product. If you are using a PC, mounting is unnecessary, so skip directly to the PC README file for instructions.

For information on what Cisco device packages are included on this CD-ROM, refer to the README_FIRST file. For information on installing Cisco device packages for use with CiscoView, refer to the cvinstall_README file for your platform.

For the latest device support, refer to the Software Library area on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/
Library_root.shtml
.

The following instructions describe mounting information for this CD-ROM from either a local or a remote machine. Included are procedures for mounting on SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX (Versions 9.x and 10.x), and AIX. Windows 95 and Windows NT do not require special mounting instructions. Skip directly to the Windows README file.
