New Features in IPM 2.6

These are the new features in IPM 2.6:

•Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) support — In IPM 2.6 users are provided with the feature of selecting either the IP Precedence settings or DSCP setting.

•Source interface on collector — In the earlier IPM releases, users could not specify a source interface configuration on an individual collector basis while configuring a collector. IPM 2.6 has features to overcome this limitation.

•SSL Compliance — IPM 2.6 is SSL compliant and enables secure HTTP communication between the client and server. The IPM web links from the CiscoWorks homepage are SSL-compliant.
