Health Monitoring

With Cisco Network Assistant, users can quickly access the status of switches, including packet errors; temperature;

Power over Ethernet (PoE); and bandwidth, CPU, memory, and ternary content addressable memory (TCAM)

usage - all from the same window. Users can select the health categories they wish to monitor; for each category

selected, the switch with the highest usage is displayed in the quick view. Users can access a more comprehensive

view by clicking the Details button.

Power Supply Feature

The power supply features support the redundant power supplies for the Cisco Catalyst

3500 and 3700 Series

products as well as the Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500 E-Series power supplies. Users can prioritize the switch order

for drawing power. The amount of power drawn, what switch is drawing power, and switch priority can all be easily

configured and viewed. For the Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500 E-Series, this feature provides a convenient way to

examine and configure all system and inline power settings, per device and per module.

Power over Ethernet

The PoE feature gives users access to configure power guarantees per port, and the ability to police ports and shut

faulty ones down. Users can view the power runtime status, the amount of power consumed, and the device that is

connected to the port.

Diagnostics

Administrators can keep their network healthy by running their own diagnostic tests; tests are scheduled from the

Diagnostics window.

CLI Preview

Prior to applying features, users now can view the command lines of certain features.

File Management

The new File Management feature provides an overview of all devices in the community. At a glance the user can

determine the status of all device file systems in their community. Files are displayed in an easy-to-navigate and

familiar file explorer interface.

A file can be managed on all file systems concurrently. Devices that use Class B file systems, such as the Cisco

Catalyst 4500 and 4500 E-Series and some Cisco routers, support functions for undeleting files and squeezing file

systems to reclaim space.

VLAN Highlighting

From the topology view, users can associate VLAN numbers with colors to quickly view what devices are in a VLAN.

Devices that are associated with more than one VLAN display two or more colors with a candy-cane effect.

Cross-Launch Switch Device Managers

Network administrators can now cross-launch the switch device manager from the topology view in Cisco Network

Assistant by right-clicking on the device icon to access the device manager.

Telnet Session

Users can access a Telnet session by right-clicking on a device icon from the topology view or front panel view.

Cisco Network Assistant automatically derives the IP address and launches the Telnet session. This enhancement

provides additional convenient access to devices.

Printing

The enhanced print option allows users to print the Topology View or Front Panel View windows on one page using

the “fit to page” option. In addition, reports are now printed in an easier-to-read format.
