CMS Plug-In
The CMS plug-in is required to run CMS through your web browser. The plug-in is supported both in
Windows environments and on Solaris platforms. For more information about the CMS plug-in,
including the URL, refer to the "Software Compatibility" section in the release notes.
Note
If you need to both upgrade your web browser and install the CMS plug-in, you must upgrade your
browser first. If you install the CMS plug-in and then upgrade your browser, the plug-in is not registered
with the new browser.
The plug-in includes a console window that you can use to troubleshoot CMS or to view the CLI
commands from CMS. When CMS is running, press F2 to display or to hide the CMS console. Press F3
to display or to hide the CLI commands that CMS is sending.
Cross-Platform Considerations
When managing switch clusters through CMS, remember that clusters can have a mix of switch models
using different Cisco IOS releases and that CMS in earlier Cisco IOS releases and on different switch
platforms might look and function differently from CMS in this Cisco IOS release.
When you select Device > Device Manager for a cluster member, a new browser session launches, and
the CMS version for that switch appears (Catalyst 1900 and 2820 switches only).
