Chapter 9 Configuring Switches with Web-based Tools

Using the CLI to Manage Switch Clusters

You can configure cluster member switches from the CLI by first logging in to the cluster command
switch. Enter the rcommand user EXEC command and the cluster member switch number to start a
Telnet session (through a console or Telnet connection) and to access the cluster member switch CLI.
The command mode changes and the Cisco IOS commands operate as usual. Enter the exit privileged
EXEC command on the cluster member switch to return to the command-switch CLI.
This example shows how to log in to member-switch 3 from the command-switch CLI:
switch# rcommand 3
If you do not know the member-switch number, enter the show cluster members privileged EXEC
command on the cluster command switch. For more information about the rcommand command and all
other cluster commands, refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Command Reference.
The Telnet session accesses the member-switch CLI at the same privilege level as on the cluster
command switch. The Cisco IOS commands then operate as usual. For instructions on configuring the
switch for a Telnet session, see the
CISCO-CLUSTER_MIB is not supported.
Note

Configuring Embedded CiscoView Support

The Catalyst 4500 series switch supports CiscoView web-based administration through the Catalyst Web
Interface (CWI) tool. CiscoView is a device management application that can be embedded on the switch
flash and provides dynamic status, monitoring, and configuration information for your switch.
CiscoView displays a physical view of your switch chassis, with color-coded modules and ports, and
monitoring capabilities that display the switch status, performance, and other statistics. Configuration
capabilities allow comprehensive changes to devices, given that the required security privileges have
been granted. The configuration and monitoring capabilities for the Catalyst 4500 series of switches
mirror those available in CiscoView in all server-based CiscoWorks solutions, including CiscoWorks
LAN Management Solution (LMS) and CiscoWorks Routed WAN Management Solution (RWAN).
These sections describe the Embedded CiscoView support available with Release 12.1(20)EW and later

Understanding Embedded CiscoView

The Embedded CiscoView network management system is a web-based interface that uses HTTP and
SNMP to provide a graphical representation of the switch and to provide a GUI-based management and
configuration interface. You can download the Java Archive (JAR) files for Embedded CiscoView at
