About this Guide

This guide provides the necessary information to help you use the Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager, from
getting started to using the element management windows it provides. Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager
uses the Cisco Element Management Framework (Cisco EMF), which provides simplified element
management of day–to–day tasks, including Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and
Security (FCAPS) management. The Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager provides easy navigation to the
FCAPS functionality, offering concentrated management for each main element at multiple object levels.
The organization of this guide complements the EM's object menu structure, describing each managed
object and FCAPS features as applicable. For object definitions, see the "Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager
Objects and Interfaces" section on page 3.
A full list, including brief descriptions, of each chapter in this guide is available in the "Document
Organization" section on page xxiii.
