If your cluster has these member switches running earlier software releases and if you have
read-only access to these member switches, some configuration windows for those switches display
incomplete information:
Catalyst 2900 XL or Catalyst 3500 XL member switches running Release 12.0(5)WC2 or
–
earlier
Catalyst 2950 member switches running Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier
–
Catalyst 3550 member switches running Release 12.1(6)EA1 or earlier
–
For more information about this limitation, refer to the release notes
(http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c2900xl/index.htm).
These switches do not support read-only mode on CMS:
Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820
–
– Catalyst 2900 XL switches with 4-MB CPU DRAM
In read-only mode, these switches appear as unavailable devices and cannot be configured from
CMS.
For more information about CMS access modes, see the
page 2-33.
Use the Java plug-in console to display the status and actions of CMS. To display the console, select
Start > Programs > Java Plug-in Control Panel, and select Java Console.
From CMS (Reports > System Messages), you can display the system messages of the
Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches when they are in a cluster where the command
switch is a Catalyst 2950 switch running Release 12.1(6)EA2 or later or Catalyst 3550 switch
running Release 12.1(8)EA1 or later. The System Messages option is not available from the
Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches. For more information about system messages,
see Appendix A, "System Messages."
