Note The Management server is sometimes called the Database server. The Presentation server is sometimes called the Client, GUI, or Application server. To avoid confusion, this document uses Management server and Presentation server consistently, and these terms denote the machines in a distributed configuration, not the software that resides on them.

The Cisco MNM client simultaneously supports up to ten X terminal users or VNC users. The exact number supported in a given installation depends on your processing resources, and the network size.

Supported Configurations

The following configurations are supported:

Cisco MNM and Cisco VSPT installed together on a network management server (recommended)
