Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(35)SE

 lists the supported operating systems and browsers for using the device manager. The device 

manager verifies the browser version when starting a session to ensure that the browser is supported.

The device manager does not require a plug-in.

You cannot create and manage switch clusters through the device manager. To create and manage switch 
clusters, use the command-line interface (CLI) or the Network Assistant application. 

When creating a switch cluster or adding a switch to a cluster, follow these guidelines:

When you create a switch cluster, we recommend configuring the highest-end switch in your cluster 
as the command switch.

If you are managing the cluster through Network Assistant, the switch with the latest software 
should be the command switch. 

The standby command switch must be the same type as the command switch. For example, if the 
command switch is a Catalyst 3750 switch, all standby command switches must be Catalyst 3750 
switches. 

For additional information about clustering, see Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant and 
Release Notes for Cisco Network Assistant (not orderable but available on Cisco.com), the software 
configuration guide, the command reference, and the Cisco EtherSwitch service module feature guide.

Cisco IOS 12.2(37)SE is only compatible with Cisco Network Assistant (CNA) 5.0 and later. You can
