Other key features include the ability to configure multiple ports and switches simultaneously, as well as perform software updates across the entire cluster at once, and clone configurations to other clustered switches for rapid network deployment. Bandwidth graphs and link reports provide useful diagnostic information, and the topology map gives network administrators a quick view of network status.
In addition to CMS, Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches provide extensive management tools using SNMP network management platforms such as CiscoWorks.
Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches deliver a comprehensive set of management tools to provide the required visibility and control in the network. Managed with CiscoWorks, Cisco Catalyst family switches can be configured and managed to deliver
