The Cisco Resource Manager application provides an enterprise solution to network management. Resource Manager's suite of web-based network management tools enables administrators to collect the monitoring, fault, and availability information needed to track devices that are critical to the network. Resource Manager also provides the administration tools needed to rapidly and reliably deploy and upgrade Cisco devices.
Resource Manager is based on a client/network architecture that connects multiple web-based clients to a server residing on the network. As the number of devices on the network increases, additional servers or collection points can be added to manage network growth with little impact on the client browser application.
By taking advantage of the scalability inherent in the intranet architecture, Resource Manager supports multiple users anywhere on the network. The web-based infrastructure gives network operators, administrators, and technicians, Help Desk staff, IS managers, and end users access to network management tools, applications, and services.
Resource Manager features two privilege levels, indicated by the following icons:
| Operator--Enables you to generate reports, check process status, show contents of views, and other read-only operations. No password is required. This is the default privilege level when you start Resource Manager. |
| Administrator--Enables you to perform all read-write Resource Manager tasks. Administrator password is required. |
If you have just installed Resource Manager and you are logging in for the first time, you can use the reserved "admin" user name and password. To log in, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Click Login on the button bar.
Step 2 Enter "admin" in both the User Name and Password fields.
Step 3 Click OK. You are logged in as an administrator-level user. The Login button changes to Logout.
