Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(53)SE

These sections describes the hardware and software requirements for using the device manager:

 lists the minimum hardware requirements for running the device manager.

These are the supported operating systems and browsers for the device manager:

Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows Server 2003.

Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, Firefox 1.5, 2.0 or later.

The device manager verifies the browser version when starting a session, and it 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. 

3.

Each uplink port is considered a single interface with dual front ends (RJ-45 connector and SFP module slot). The dual front ends are not redundant 
interfaces, and only one port of the pair is active.
