CiscoWorks

CiscoWorks is a series of SNMP-based internetwork management software applications. CiscoWorks applications are integrated on several popular network management systems including SunNet Manager on Sun workstations (SunOS and Solaris), HP OpenView on Sun or HP systems, and IBM NetView for AIX. CiscoWorks applications extend those industry-standard network management systems to allow device status monitoring, easy configuration maintenance, and troubleshooting of Cisco devices.

CiscoWorks includes an extensive online help system with context-sensitive help. You can select highlighted text to open additional help windows and use context-sensitive help for accessing relevant information. The online help provides overviews, related information, procedures, and a glossary of terms. In addition, you can search for help topics by entering words or phrases in the search window.

Following are some of the applications included in CiscoWorks:

• AutoInstall Manager
  

Allows you to remotely install a new router using a neighboring router. Performs AutoInstall tasks automatically and simplifies tasks that would otherwise be handled manually.

• CiscoConnect
  

A new feature that allows you to provide Cisco and Cisco partners with debugging information, configurations, and topology information to speed resolution of network problems, as well as case submission for customers with Internet mail. CiscoConnect can also compile a profile of your networks for Cisco Connection (formerly CIO), so that Cisco Connection can notify you via customized news bulletins of new features and bug fixes relevant to your network.

• CiscoView
  

Provides dynamic status, statistics, and comprehensive configuration information for Cisco's switched internetworking products (switches, routers, access servers, concentrators, and adapters). CiscoView graphically displays a physical view of Cisco devices. Additionally, this network management tool provides monitoring functions and offers basic troubleshooting. CiscoView is bundled with CiscoWorks and is also available as a standalone product.

• Cisco Network Management Support CD-ROM
  

Contains the latest Cisco network management device and application support files. These files are organized into product "packages" and provide up-to-date management support for the latest Cisco devices. This initial release enhances the capabilities of the CiscoView application within the CiscoWorks line of products.

• Configuration File Management
  

Provides an audit trail for who made changes and when. It can also detect unauthorized configuration changes that occur on your network.

• Contacts
  

Obtain information about the contact person for a specific device including the complete name, phone number, e-mail address, title, location, and address.

• Device Management
  

Creates and maintains a database that holds a complete inventory of your network---hardware, software, release levels of operation components, individuals responsible for maintaining the devices, and associated locations.

• Global Command Facility
  

Routers often share similar configuration parameters, such as passwords or access lists. With the Global Command Facility, you can create configuration Snap-Ins that can be applied automatically to groups of routers.

• Health Monitor
  

Allows you to view information about the status of a device, including buffers, CPU load, memory available, and protocols and interfaces being used.

• Offline Network Analysis
  

Collects historical network data for off-line analysis of performance trends and traffic patterns. The integrated Sybase SQL relational database server stores designated SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) variables (byte count, packet count, and so forth) from which you can create queries and generate graphs.

• Path Tool
  

Allows you to view and analyze the path between two devices. Performs analysis on the path to collect utilization and error data.

• Security Manager
  

Sets up authority checking procedures to protect selected CiscoWorks applications and your network devices from unauthorized individuals by setting up your CiscoWorks environment to require a login to access applications. This protection ensures that only users and groups with valid accounts and passwords can perform tasks such as configuring a router, deleting database device information, and defining polling procedures.

• Software Manager
  

Minimizes upgrade costs by enabling administrators to centrally distribute and manage router software throughout the internetwork. Applications include the following:

• The Software Library Manager. Provides a central repository for all Cisco IOS software and eliminates tedious tasks performed by users.
  

• The Software Inventory Manager. Enables you to quickly and easily find the routers you want to upgrade. It automatically tracks software versions running on your network.

CiscoWorks Blue Maps

The CiscoWorks Blue Maps, Software Release 1.0, enables you to view logical maps of Cisco routers that are running Cisco IOS Release 11.0 or higher and configured with either remote source-routed bridging (RSRB), Data Link Switching (DLSw), or Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN). Each application (RSRB, DLSw, or APPN Map) presents the network administrator with a dynamic, color-coded network map of routers that are enabled with a specific SNA-related protocol. CiscoWorks Blue Maps requires the related MIBs (RSRB, DLSw, and/or APPN) that are installed on the routers.

CiscoWorks Blue Maps also allows you to launch CiscoView, an application that provides device-level management by depicting the physical layout of Cisco devices. Key pieces of information (such as traffic statistics and error rates) can be obtained by clicking on the appropriate part of the diagram (such as the interface card).

You can manage an entire network from a single workstation by using both CiscoWorks and CiscoWorks Blue Maps.

Using the RSRB Map application, you can discover your network of RSRB-enabled routers and graphically view a map of physical rings, virtual rings, and RSRB peers. In addition, you can select a virtual ring or a peer router and get statistical information about network traffic. The graphical view of your RSRB network can speed problem isolation and help you quickly identify the link, router, or port.

Using the DLSw Map application, you can discover your network of DLSw-enabled routers, view a map of those routers, obtain details about any single router or statistics about any router as known by a neighbor, and display a list of circuits maintained by any router and details about each circuit.

Using the APPN Map, you can discover your network of APPN-enabled routers and graphically view a map of interchange nodes, network nodes, virtual routing nodes, end nodes, low-entry networking (LEN) nodes, and transmission groups. The graphical view of your APPN network can help you identify problems associated with connectivity, traffic, and session path.

After narrowing the source of a problem to a specific network element, you can use other network management tools or dispatch a technician to correct it. All CiscoWorks Blue Maps applications let you customize and store a map of a subset of routers in which you are interested.

CiscoWorks Blue Maps requires a network management platform (such as NetView for AIX, HP OpenView, or SunNet Manager), and CiscoWorks 3.0 or higher..

Table 31 lists CiscoWorks Blue Maps product numbers.

CiscoWorks Blue SNA View

CiscoWorks Blue SNA View looks beyond the network of routers by reaching into the mainframe for supplemental management data, and displays SNA network nodes in the network maps. You use a single workstation to manage and view both your SNA resources and IP-based routers in an RSRB or APPN network.

The CiscoWorks Blue Maps application must be installed for SNA View to operate. With CiscoWorks Blue Maps, SNA View provides the SNA control and correlation needed to manage SNA devices from a UNIX platform.

SNA View consists of two main elements:

• Pull-down menu items for the CiscoWorks Blue Maps applications to allow the investigation of SNA Physical Units (PUs) and Logical Units (LUs) on a map
  

• A mainframe software element that reports SNA management data to the workstation (either by LU6.2 or TCP protocol)
  

Resource information is dynamically updated to provide a snapshot of your network as it appears at any given time. This feature allows you to display a single map that depicts details from the host down to the PU name. This feature also allows you to activate and inactivate SNA resources.

CiscoWorks Blue Maps and CiscoWorks Blue SNA View co-exist with IP-related management tools like CiscoWorks and CiscoView, so the CiscoWorks Blue products can centralize the management of a multiprotocol network onto a single workstation.

CiscoWorks Blue Native Service Point

CiscoWorks Blue Native Service Point, Software Release 1.0, is a network management application that enables NetView or Netmaster operators to access and configure Cisco routers from a IBM NetView or Sterling Netmaster console. Operators access Cisco routers via Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) and can view, edit, and save router configurations. Native Service Point allows you to issue RUNCMDs and receive responses in the form of NetView Network Management Vector Transports (NMVTs). Any NMVT alerts issued by the Cisco routers are also sent to NetView or Netmaster.

NETSYS Connectivity and Performance Tools

The NETSYS Connectivity and Performance Tools consist of two products: NETSYS Connectivity Tools (Connectivity Baseliner and Solver) and NETSYS Performance Tools (Performance Baseliner and Solver).

NETSYS Connectivity Tools

The NETSYS Connectivity Tools assist network engineers with proactive design and planning activities focusing on network connectivity and route and flow problems. Building on the baseline connectivity map created with this product, network engineers can use the Tool simulation environment to study the potential impact of failed devices and links, access list configurations, and other configuration changes prior to implementing them in the network.

The NETSYS Connectivity Tools consist of two applications plus a CiscoWorks 3.0 interface. These applications include the following:

• NETSYS Connectivity Baseliner---Constructs a network topology map that depicts real-world connectivity learned from configuration files and routing tables. This baseliner map enables network engineers to troubleshoot problems by visualizing and automatically documenting the network configuration.
  

• NETSYS Connectivity Solver---Enables users to perform "what if" scenarios with the baseline. Using the simulation of failed links or nodes, network engineers can determine the impact of a variety of failure modes before they occur in the network. In addition, the NETSYS Connectivity Solver simulates problems such as protocol mismatches, access list mismatches, and encapsulation and source-route bridging configuration problems. The Design Critic feature in the application allows users to specify acceptable connectivity and check to see if proposed access list changes violate the predefined constraints.
  

NETSYS Performance Tools

Building on the actual network connectivity model provided by the NETSYS Connectivity Tools, the Performance Tools allow users to create a network baseline from configuration and performance data, and then analyze the interactions between traffic flow, topology, routing parameters, and Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) features. Users can also diagnose and solve operational problems, test "what if" scenarios, tune the network configurations for improved performance, and plan for incremental network changes.

The NETSYS Performance Tools consist of the following two applications:

• NETSYS Performance Baseliner---Provides the input data for subsequent performance modeling. The baselining process begins by collecting router statistics and traffic information. Analysis of interface statistics, table sizes, buffer statistics, IP/IPX accounting, and Enterprise RMON information provides an observed performance snapshot of the current network. This view of network health can also indicate areas of high volume or potential trouble. Network managers can use this data to determine where to initially instrument the network for actual traffic capture.
  

• NETSYS Performance Solver---Enables users to evaluate utilization of network resources, and conduct what-if scenarios to assess the impact of changes and explore potential performance improvements. Summary performance analysis results enable users to quickly identify problem areas. More detailed analysis (utilization breakdowns and amount and type of overhead analysis, for example) allows users to diagnose the cause of problems and identify possible corrective actions. With Performance Solver, network engineers can understand which applications or subnets are motivating router or bandwidth upgrades and quickly identify under- and over-utilized resources and congestion areas. They can investigate whether congestion is due to connectivity or bandwidth problems and then evaluate alternative solutions.
  

The Performance Baseliner and Performance Solver must be used with NETSYS Connectivity Tools Version 2.0. The NETSYS Connectivity and Performance Tools do not require use of an SNMP management platform such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.

The NETSYS Tools also include a CiscoWorks interface that integrates the configuration auditing and control functions of CiscoWorks with the simulation and validation capabilities of the NETSYS Connectivity and Performance Solver. Proposed configuration changes that are validated by the simulation can be exported into CiscoWorks for implementation in the actual network. In addition, NETSYS Tools can import configuration information from the CiscoWorks database.

LightStream 2020 Network Management

The LightStream 2020 multiservice ATM switch offers the following options for network management:

• ControlStream traffic management software
  

• StreamView network management software
  

• VirtualStream virtual LAN software
  

ControlStream Traffic Management Software

ControlStream software, which is a mandatory component of the platform software, provides sophisticated traffic management capabilities. Primarily, this consists of a variety of mechanisms that operate to provide multiple classes of service and quality of service (QOS), and enforce these traffic contracts even in the presence of overload. Additionally, ControlStream includes a congestion avoidance and control mechanism for monitoring trunk and egress port loading, feeding back this loading information to all sources, and discarding excess traffic, fairly, at the edges of the network. Through ControlStream, traffic can be managed from the sources in such a way that trunk congestion events can be avoided before they occur. ControlStream is purchased on a per-chassis basis.

StreamView Network Management Software

The StreamView software option includes three graphical network management tools:

• A configuration tool
  

• A monitor for viewing the status of each LightStream 2020 node in the network
  

• A topology map for displaying the ATM topology of the network
  

StreamView requires a Sun SPARCstation platform. The topology map must be used in conjunction with HP OpenView management software. At least one copy of StreamView should be purchased for each LightStream 2020 network.

VirtualStream Virtual LAN Software

The VirtualStream software option operates in conjunction with the bridging service available for FDDI and Ethernet users and provides four value-added virtual LAN services:

• The Workgroup feature allows the definition of portbased closed user groups that span the network and allow a LightStream 2020 network manager to control how LAN users access one another.
  

• The Application Specific Quality of Service (AS/QOS) feature allows the definition of ATM types of service for LAN flows.
  

• The High Performance Multicast Service (HPMS) allows the use of ATM point-to-multipoint virtual circuits for wire-speed delivery of multicast traffic over an arbitrary and geographically distributed set of LAN ports.
  

• The Custom Filters feature lets you tag LAN flows to block, forward, or associate traffic with AS/QOS or HPMS using Boolean expressions. The following header fields can be used in filters:
  

  • MAC layer
    

  • TCP/IP
    

  • IPX
    

The software license for VirtualStream is purchased per LAN card. That is, a separate license for VirtualStream is required for each Ethernet module or access card and for each FDDI module or access card.

TrafficDirector

TrafficDirector is a powerful and flexible enhanced remote monitoring (RMON) console application that analyzes traffic and enables proactive management of switched internetworks. TrafficDirector provides an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for analyzing RMON data for any level of user. Network traffic information is collected from RMON agents in Cisco's Catalyst switches, Cisco IOS embedded RMON agents in routers and SwitchProbe standalone network monitoring probes, or any RMON standards-compliant agent. TrafficDirector advanced packet filters enable users to monitor all seven layers of network traffic including link, network, transport, or application layers.

Performance and fault management are greatly simplified using TrafficDirector's multilayer traffic analysis, proactive alarms, and remote packet capture features. TrafficDirector enables users to proactively monitor their enterprise networks from a central site, ensuring high network reliability and availability. TrafficDirector's protocol analysis tool provides rapid, centralized troubleshooting for most protocol-related network problems. TrafficDirector supports full seven-layer decodes for the AppleTalk, DECnet, IP, ISO, Novell, SNA, Sun-NFS, Banyan VINES, and XNS protocol suites.
