Cisco Systems 520 Manual De Usuario

Compared to the switch device manager, the Cisco Configuration Assistant offers 
an enhanced set of features for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the 
devices in your network. 

The Cisco Configuration Assistant discovers all devices in the network and can 
configure all supported routers, switches, and wireless access points and 
controllers as well as Cisco Unified Communications call-routing and voice-mail 
systems. After the network is deployed, you also can use Cisco Configuration 
Assistant to generate status reports, to synchronize passwords, and to upgrade 
software across all of your Cisco network devices.

Some general Cisco Configuration Assistant features include:

Centralized, common services—such as software upgrades, configuration 
management, inventory reports, network events, alerts, and password and 
configuration synchronization—for Cisco switches, routers, access points, 
and voice appliances in the network

Centralized network monitoring using two views of all connected devices in 
the network: a physical view (Front Panel image) and a logical view (network 
Topology image) of different network devices

Drag-and-drop software upgrade for multiple devices, including backup and 
restoration of device configuration files

Security configuration for all the Cisco access points in the network

Authenticated and encrypted communications between the Cisco 
Configuration Assistant client and each connected network device

Simplified troubleshooting through an Events Notification Advisor (which 
identifies problems and suggests resolutions related to misconfiguration such 
as Smartports or duplex-mode mismatch) and through a Link Diagnostic 
Report (which identifies problems and suggests resolutions related to 
connectivity such as port-speed mismatch and faulty cabling) 

The Cisco Configuration Assistant is available in a number of languages.

You can download the Cisco Configuration Assistant to your PC or laptop from 
this Cisco.com site:

Complete details about the Cisco Configuration Assistant features and the 
procedures for using the application are available from the Cisco Configuration 
Assistant documentation and the online help.
