About Cisco Support Tools
Cisco Support Tools is Cisco's Unified Contact Center serviceability application. It provides a
common, web-based UI to a number of serviceability tools and works across all Cisco Unified
Contact Center products.
Support Tools uses a client/server model:
The Support Tools (ST) Server provides a web-based front-end for users to logon to and
make requests for serviceability tasks, such as log collection and trace setting, from other
Cisco Unified Contact Center products.
Caution: You must install ST Server on a separate machine from the Unified CVP software.
If you try to install ST Server on a machine on which Unified CVP resides, or try to install
Unified CVP on a machine on which ST Server resides, the installation process aborts.
The ST Server connects to Support Tools Node Agents (STNA) installed on each supported
computer running a Cisco Unified Contact Center product. These agents listen for
serviceability requests, fulfill them, and send back the results to the ST Server.
Note: The installation of the ST Server and STNA can automatically configure IPSEC when
run on Windows servers; you must take care to use the same preshared key during each
