About the CWI
The CWI is a client-side application used to configure and manage routers. The management and configuration features include
fault, configuration, security, and inventory, with an emphasis on speed and efficiency.
The CWI provides a context-sensitive graphical representation of the objects in a router, simplifying the process of configuring
and managing the router. The CWI allows you to log in to multiple routers and perform the following management tasks:
• View, filter, sort, search, correlate, purge, and monitor real-time alarms.
• View, filter, export, and search real-time inventory and interface object attribute information.
• Display a dynamic graphical representations of routers.
• Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) to the router for command-line interaction.
• Troubleshoot management connectivity problems.
