Superior manageability: The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series with LAN Base software provides
●
several management options. The Express Setup feature and the Cisco Network Assistant
management tool provide intuitive, scalable management features to help you easily deploy
and operate your network.. Express Setup feature allows you to set up the switch with a
web-based brower eliminating need for CLI. Using the Cisco Network Assistant's PC-based
simple graphical interface, wizards, and Cisco SmartPorts tools, you can quickly configure
all your Cisco switches, routers, and wireless access points in your network. Cisco Network
Assistant includes the Cisco Troubleshooting Advisor, which identifies cabling problems,
common configuration errors, and other potential problems in the network and recommends
corrective action. For more extensive management, the switches also support configuration
and integration with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based network
management platforms, such as the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS).
