Cisco Systems Network Assistant Manual De Usuario

This section describes how to configure your switch for Network Assistant. It includes these sections:

If you use the default configuration, access the Catalyst 4500 series switch, and enter the ip http server 
(for HTTP) or the ip http secure-server (for HTTPS) global configuration command:

1.

You need to set an IP address in each switch for community device discovery and for the cluster 
commander.

2.

Port number on the Network Assistant and the Catalyst 4500 series switch must match.

3.

You can only change this value for a cluster of devices. Port number on the Network Assistant and on the 
Catalyst 4500 series switch must match. Value can be changed to any non-default number above 1024.

4.

Required for Network Assistant to access the device.

5.

Enabled only if you want to manage a cluster of devices.

a connection can stay open since it was established. We
