CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 4.0
PB611282
CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) is an integrated suite of management functions that
simplify the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Cisco
®
networks. CiscoWorks
LMS allows network operators to manage the network through a browser-based interface that can be
accessed anytime from anywhere within the network. CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 is a major new release that
improves the overall user experience, providing new workflows built on functional partitioning that aligns
the product with the way network operators do their jobs. Once installed, “out-of-the-box” monitoring and
troubleshooting dashboards provide actionable information to quickly isolate and fix network problems
before they impact services. Configuring and deploying updates to the network has never been easier with
the new Template Center, which incorporates Cisco Validated Designs and links to download the latest
configuration templates from Cisco.com simplifying platform and technology rollout and reducing the
chance for errors. New “Work Centers” provide a single area where guided workflows give step-by-step
instructions to help operators quickly provision, monitor, and manage new Cisco value-added technologies
and solutions, such as EnergyWise, TrustSec/Identity, Auto Smartports, and Smart Install.
New Features
CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 is a new management paradigm, focused on a new user experience that promotes real-time
actionable information with an intuitive set of predefined dashboards. In addition to the portlets and functionality
delivered in previous versions of LMS, significant new enhancements and features are being delivered in the LMS
4.0 release. A summary of the new functional areas can be found in Table 1. For detailed information on the features
of CiscoWorks LMS 4.0, please refer to the product data sheet and the “Getting Started” section of the LMS 4.0 user
documentation, which can be found at
