Cisco Systems announces the availability of the CiscoWorks Small Network Management

Solution (SNMS) 1.5 and associated minor update release for SNMS 1.0. This product is

ideal for small networks, which might include two or three branch offices, which need to

efficiently and effectively manage the network through a secure, simplified browser-based

interface. This suite of management applications provides basic network monitoring and

element management for small to medium businesses (SMB) customers with devices from

multiple vendors in their network. SNMS allows users to select up to forty (40) key Cisco

devices for advanced administration using selected tools available in our enterprise class

LAN management product.

Positioned between CiscoWorks for Windows (CWW) and the CiscoWorks LAN

Management Solution (LMS), SNMS introduces network administrators to the functionality

of Resource Manager Essentials along with the multi-vendor device monitoring and SNMP

management features of WhatsUp Gold. As growth of the customer’s network continues,

SNMS provides a cost effective solution that can be easily installed and used today while

providing a transition path to CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution.

The release of SNMS 1.5 provides the following:

• Device Limit—Increased limit of critical Cisco devices managed via the RME tool set

from 20 to 40 devices; The total number of additional devices managed can depend

on the size of the server

• Device Dashboard—Provides a snapshot of the current state of a specific device with

detailed graphical back and front views

• Integrated Infrastructure Management—Provides a single window to monitor

and manage Cisco network devices and non-network devices such as PCs, servers,

and applications

• Device Monitoring—Monitors and reports on hardware, configuration, and

inventory changes

• Configuration Baselining—Aids in avoiding configuration mismatches via templates for

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community, Terminal Access Controller

Access Control System (TACACS), enable, syslog, SNMP trap destinations, Cisco

Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Domain Name System (DNS) to prevent CLI

command errors
