Using Prime Network with Prime Central
Prime Network can be installed as a standalone product or with Cisco Prime Central. When installed wit h
Cisco Prime Central, you can launch Prime Network GUI clients from the Cisco Prime Po rta l.
Cross-launch to and from other suite applications is also supported. The applications share a common
inventory.
The Cisco Prime Portal uses a single sign-on (SSO) mechanism so that users need not reauthenticate with
each GUI client. All session management features are controlled by the por tal (such as client timeouts).
If a user tries to log into a standalone GUI client, the user will be redirected to the portal login. The only
exception is the emergency user, who will still be allowed to log into a standalone GUI client.
If the Cisco Prime Performance Manager application is also installed, the Prime Network Event
Collector will receive threshold crossing alarm (TCA) events from Prime Performance Manager
components and generate a ticket that you can view in Prime Network Events.
