Accessing Cms - Cisco WS-C2950-24 Configuration Manual

Accessing CMS

The following procedure assumes you have met the software requirements,
(including browser and Java plug-in configurations) and have assigned IP
information and a password to the switch or command switch, as described in the
release notes.
To access CMS, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter the IP address in the browser Location field (Netscape Communicator) or
Address field (Microsoft Internet Explorer).
Step 2 Enter your userid and the password at the prompt.
The Cisco Systems Access page appears.
Click Cluster Management Suite or Visual Switch Manager.
Step 3
If you access CMS from a standalone or cluster member switch, VSM appears. If
you access CMS from a command switch, Cluster Builder launches by default.
You can select Cluster Manager to launch by default by selecting Cluster > User
Settings. You can toggle between Cluster Builder and Cluster View by selecting
View > Toggle Views.
You can display VSM for a specific cluster member from either Cluster Builder
or Cluster View by selecting Device > Launch Switch Manager. You cannot
display VSM from Cluster Manager.
For information about managing passwords in switch clusters, see the
"Passwords" section on page
CMS requires that your switch uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) port 80,
which is the default HTTP port. If you change the HTTP port, you cannot access
CMS. For more information about the HTTP port, see the
section on page
