Managing a Network Using Community
This section describes how to use communities to manage devices (including Catalyst 4500 series
switches, routers, access points, and PIX firewalls) using the Network Assistant application.
Access points have been eliminated from the device limits. There is no current limit for the number of
Note
access points that can be managed by CNA.
The Add to Community dialog box displays any number of devices, but can only select 20 devices. If
Note
you try to add a twenty-first device, the dialog box displays the twenty-first device and prompts you to
select the unwanted device.
Note For complete procedures for using Network Assistant to configure switch communities, refer to
Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant, available at:
