2 LAN Management Solution 2.5.1 Overview
The LAN Management Solution (LMS) software provides applications for configuring, administering,
monitoring, and troubleshooting a campus network. It enables network administrators to effectively
manage their LAN and campus networks.
You must install LMS on a system that meets specific requirements. You must configure client systems
and a few applications such as, browser settings, solaris patches, etc. See “Server and Client System
Requirements” section on page 11 for details.
You can select any one of the following two licenses of LMS 2.5.1:
• Enterprise Restricted: Limits you to managing 300 devices.
• Large Enterprise Unrestricted: Does not impose any limit on number of managed devices.
However, the number of devices that can be managed in a single server depends on your server
configuration. See “Application Scaling Numbers” section on page 15 for details.
This document captures information only for fresh installation of LMS 2.5.1. In this document you
will find:
• LMS package contents, including links for accessing online documentation.
• LMS features highlights.
• Hardware and software requirements for optimal performance.
• Installation paths and pointers to additional documentation that provides detailed procedures for
installing each application.
• Information on getting started with LMS.
• Frequently asked questions
• Information about ordering documentation and contacting Cisco Systems for additional
assistance.
If you already have LMS 2.1 or LMS 2.2, and you want to upgrade to LMS 2.5.1, follow the procedure
as described in these documents:
• Quick Start Guide for LAN Management Solution 2.5.1 (Maintenance Kit)
• Data Migration Guide for LAN Management Solution 2.5.1
You can find these documents at this URL:

Licensing Your Product
The LMS 2.5.1 product features software based product registration and license key activation
technologies. During the installation process, the installer displays the Registration and Licensing
input dialog box. The following table provides information about terminology used in the
registration process.

Getting the Licensing File


Table 1 describes PAK, PIN, License file and its usage.

Table 1 Understanding PAK, PIN, and License File

Licensing
Terms Description
Product The PIN is printed on the software claim certificate. The LMS installation program
Identification prompts you to enter the PIN during installation.
Number (PIN) If an authenticated license cannot be obtained during installation, use the PIN to
proceed with the installation. If you enter only a PIN, LMS runs normally, but you
will be periodically reminded to complete the license process.
Product The PAK is printed on the software claim certificate. Use the PAK to get your license
Authorization file from Cisco.com. You may obtain and install your license file at any time while
Key (PAK) you are working on LMS, not necessarily only at the time you install the product.
We recommend that you complete the LMS license registration and receive product
license before installing LMS 2.5.1.
If the person installing LMS is not authorized to obtain the license on behalf of the
administrator, the product can be successfully installed for a period of time using
only the PIN. In this case, the product will remind the administrator to complete
the licensing process.
License file When you register your LMS purchase on the product licensing area of Cisco.com,
you will receive a license file. You must enter your PAK to receive a license file.
If you are a registered user of Cisco.com, get your license file from:
http://www.cisco.com/go/license
If you are not a registered user of Cisco.com, use this site to get your license file:
http://www.cisco.com/go/license/public
Logging in allows your Cisco user profile information to auto-populate many of the
product registration fields. Login is case sensitive.

Figure 1 displays the licensing screen on Windows operating system.

Figure 1 Licensing Screen

As you begin the LMS installation process, you must first install CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3
(see “Server and Client System Requirements” section on page 11). You are not prompted for
registration information during this process. After Common Services is installed on your LMS server,
you can install LMS applications, such as RME 4.0.3, Campus 4.0.3, DFM 2.0.3 and IPM 2.6.
The first LMS application you install, prompts you to provide the LMS licensing information. (see
Figure 1) The LMS installation program prompts you to enter either the license file, or the PIN and
PAK. We recommend that you complete the license registration process at this point.
The LMS installer only prompts you once for each server for licensing information that is used by all
components of the solution. If you provide a valid license or the PIN and PAK while installing the first
LMS application on a given server, the other applications that you instal later on that server do not
prompt for a license.

6
Evaluation Mode
If you have received the LMS as an evaluation copy, you need not register the product during the
90 day evaluation period. The installation process for an evaluation copy is same as that of a
purchased product; except that you are prompted by each of the LMS applications to select the
Evaluation Only option from the Licensing Information page (see Figure 1.)
If you choose to run any application in evaluation mode, the application stops functioning after
90 days. The evaluation period cannot be extended. If you have a purchased copy and you decide to
install it in evaluation mode, please use your PAK to register the product on the Cisco online licensing
site and receive a valid license.
If you have not purchased the product, the LMS evaluation server can be reactivated by purchasing
LMS from your authorized Cisco reseller. You can license the product using the PAK and PIN provided
with the product. For details see, “Installing the Licensing File” section on page 7.

Installing the Licensing File


We recommend that before installing the LMS 2.5.1 product, that you register the product and receive
a permanent license.
To license your product, you must:

Step 1 Register the LMS product using the PAK with Cisco.com to get your license file.
The PAK is printed on the software claim certificate.
If you are a registered user of Cisco.com, get your license file from:
http://www.cisco.com/go/license
If you are not a registered user of Cisco.com, use this site to get your license file:
http://www.cisco.com/go/license/public
Logging in allows your Cisco user profile information to auto-populate many of the product
registration fields. Login is case sensitive.
Step 2 After you install Common Services 3.0.3, copy the new license file to the CiscoWorks
Common Services server into a directory with read permissions for the user name casuser or
the user group casusers.
Step 3 Install the license file.
If you have obtained the LMS license before installation:
a. Select the first LMS application you wish to install, and when prompted:
– On Windows, select the first radio button (see Figure 1) and use the browse window
to locate the license file directory.
– On Solaris, select L for License File after you accept the Licensing Agreement and
continue installing the application.

7
b. Click Next to install the license file.
If you have completed the LMS install by entering the PAK and PIN, or if you want to convert
an evaluation copy to a licensed copy:
a. From the CiscoWorks Homepage, select Common Services > Server > Admin > Licensing.
The License Administration page appears.
b. Click Update.
A file browser popup dialog box appears.
c. Enter the path to the new license file in the License field, or click Browse to locate the license
file you copied to the server in step 2.
d. Click OK.
The system verifies whether the license file is valid, and updates the license.
The updated licensing information appears in the License Information page. If you encounter
errors, repeat the steps to license your product.

Additional Information for LMS 2.5.1 Large Enterprise Unrestricted Licensing


Users of LMS 2.5.1 for Large Enterprises often require individual LMS applications such as DFM or
RME to be run on separate servers to support large number of devices or to meet certain performance
criteria.
When more than one server is used to host the LMS, each server should have a copy of the license in
it. You should copy the license file to the server as described in Step 2, and install the license as
described in Step 3. You should not modify the license file.
Legal restriction concerning the distribution of the LMS applications is described in the Supplemental
License Agreement. More than one copy of an application (RME, DFM, Campus, or IPM) should not
be running in the network unless additional copies of LMS have been purchased and licensed.

5 Installing LAN Management Solution 2.5.1
To install an application, log in as root (on Solaris) or local administrator or user with administrator
privileges (on Windows) on the system on which you want to install the application.
Before you begin:
• Check the factors to be considered before installing LMS 2.5.1. See “Prerequisites” section on
page 23.
• Locate the PDF versions of the installation guides for each LMS application. Print them or have
them open for viewing while you perform the installation. For details on locating the installation
guides, see the application installation sections of this Quick Start Guide.
• Close all open or active programs. Do not run other programs during the installation process.
• Be aware of the following:
– You must install CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3 before installing any other applications.
– After you have installed CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3, you must install each LMS 2.5.1
application separately. While we strongly recommend that you follow the “Terms and
Definitions Used in LMS 2.5 1 Installation Framework” section on page 25, you can install
the other applications of LMS 2.5.1 in any order.

Prerequisites
This section describes the factors that you should consider before installing LMS 2.5.1. Ensure you
complete the following tasks before installation:

Step 1 Install required operating system upgrades. See the “Server and Client System Requirements”
section on page 11.
Step 2 Install required service packs. See the “Server and Client System Requirements” section on
page 11.
Step 3 Read the “Important Installation Notes” section on page 23 and Terms and Definitions Used
in LMS 2.5 1 Installation Framework, page 25

Important Installation Notes


This section contains important information that you should read before you begin installation:
• You can install LMS 2.5.1 applications on a system with Terminal Services enabled in Remote
Administration mode. However, installation of LMS 2.5.1 applications on a system with Terminal
Services enabled in Application mode is not supported.
If you have a enabled Terminal Server in Application mode, disable the Terminal Server, reboot
the system, and start the installation again.

23
• Installation of LMS 2.5.1 on a system with Internet Information Services (IIS) enabled is not
supported. IIS Service must be disabled on the server before installing the LMS 2.5.1 applications.
• LMS 2.5.1 is not supported on any native 64-bit systems.
• LMS 2.5.1 is not supported on virtual machines, such as VMware and VirtualPC.
• If you are using LMS 2.5.1 on a Windows 2000 operating system (all versions), disable
Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT). See
http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-017343.htm.
• CiscoWorks applications are installed in the default directories:
– On Solaris: /opt/CSCOpx
– On Windows: SystemDrive:\Program Files\CSCOpx
Where, SystemDrive is the Windows operating system installed directory.
If you select another directory during installation, the application is installed in that directory.
• On Solaris, if you select an installation directory other than the default, the /opt/CSCOpx
directory is created as a link to the directory you selected.

Warning If you remove this link after installation, the product will malfunction.

• On Solaris, if errors occur during installation, check the installation log file
/var/tmp/ciscoinstall.log.
For IPM, the installation log file is /var/tmp/cisco_ipm_install.log,
On Windows, if errors occur during installation, check the installation log in the root directory
on the drive where the operating system is installed. Each installation creates a new log file.
For example, the CiscoWorks Common Services installation creates
SystemDrive:\CiscoWorks_setupxxx.log, where xxx is the running number for the last
CiscoWorks application installed.
For IPM, there is no installation log file on Windows.
• You can press Ctrl-C (on Solaris) or click Cancel (on Windows) at any time to end the installation.
However, any changes to your system will not be undone.
For example, if any new files were installed or if they were any changes to the system files, you
need to manually cleanup the installation directories.

Note We recommend that you do not terminate the installation while it is running.

• By default, SSL is not enabled on CiscoWorks Server.

24
• Network inconsistencies might cause installation errors if you are installing from a remote
mount point.
• If your CiscoWorks Management Server is integrated with any Network Management System
(NMS) in your network using the integration utility, you must perform the integration every time
when you enable or disable SSL in the CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3 Server. You must do
this to update the application registration in the NMS.
For help with NMS integration, see the User Guide for CiscoWorks Integration Utility 1.6. You
can find this document on Cisco.com, in both HTML and PDF form.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/cw2000_d/index.htm
• Disable any popup blocker utility, installed on your client system.
• On Windows, if you are running any virus scanner while installing LMS applications, the
installation might take longer to complete. We recommend that you disable the virus scan software
on your system. You can restart it after all installations are completed.
• To ensure that you have the latest device support and bug fixes for Resource Manager Essentials,
Campus Manager and Device Fault Manager, you must install the latest Service Packs. For
download locations, see the “Additional Package Information” section on page 11.

Terms and Definitions Used in LMS 2.5 1 Installation Framework


This section captures the terms and definitions that are used by LMS 2.5.1 applications at the time of
installation.

• System Identity Account password—Password that is used in a multi-server environment. You
must configure all the CiscoWorks servers that are part of your multi-server setup with the same
system identity account password.
Communication among multiple CiscoWorks Servers is enabled by a “trust” model addressed by
certificates and shared secrets. System Identity setup helps you to create a “trust” user among
servers that are part of a multi-server setup. This user enables communication between servers that
are part of a domain.
While entering the System Identity Account Passwords, use a minimum of five characters.
You are prompted to enter this password in both Typical and Custom modes of installation.

25
• CiscoWorks guest password—CiscoWorks guest password. This is used while logging into the

6 Getting Started with CiscoWorks LMS
The topics in this section help you to work with and understand the LMS user interface. Before you
start using the LMS 2.5.1 applications, you must ensure that:
• The network devices that interact with LMS 2.5.1 must be set up correctly.
See the Setting Up Devices on the Network chapter in the Cisco LAN Management Solution 2.5
Deployment Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps2425/c1244/
cdccont_0900aecd8026ee8d.pdf
• The license file is installed on your CiscoWorks server.
See “Licensing Your Product” section on page 5.
The following sections help you to get started only with CiscoWorks LMS in a single-server mode.
If you have a setup with multiple CiscoWorks servers, you must:
• Set up Peer Server Account
• Set up System Identity Account
• Set up Peer Server Certificate
• Enable Single Sign-On
To get started with multiple-server mode, see the “Configuring the Server” section in the User Guide
for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3.
These topics describe how to get started with CiscoWorks LMS:
• “Invoking the CiscoWorks Homepage” section on page 40
• “Logging In” section on page 40
• “Understanding the CiscoWorks Homepage” section on page 41

39
Invoking the CiscoWorks Homepage
Enter the URL for your CiscoWorks Server in your browser.
http://server_name:port_number
Where server_name is the name of the CiscoWorks Server and port_number is the TCP port used by
the CiscoWorks Server. In normal mode (HTTP), the default TCP port for CiscoWorks Server is 1741.
For example:
http://ciscoworksserver:1741

Note If you enter, http://server_name:port_number/login.html in your web browser, the


CiscoWorks Server will not launch. Also, do not bookmark the URL with the trailing
login.html.

On Windows, CiscoWorks Server always uses the default port numbers in secure and normal modes.
On Solaris, if the default TCP ports (1741 and 443) are used by other applications, you can select
different ports for secure and normal modes during CiscoWorks Server installation. For more
information, see Installation and Setup Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services on Solaris.

Common Services Panel
The Common Services Panel displays all Common Services functions. The Common Services panel
appears as a collapsible folder. You can view the first level items when the folder is opened.

Device Troubleshooting Panel


The Device Troubleshooting panel provides a launch point to the Device Center.
Device Center helps you to view device details, launch troubleshooting tools, perform management
tasks, and view reports for the selected device. You can also change device credentials, update the
inventory, and telnet a device.
For more information, see the “Using Device Center” chapter in the User Guide for CiscoWorks
Common Services 3.0.3

Application Panel
Each Application Panel in the CiscoWorks Homepage serves as a top-level launch point for all LMS
applications installed on the local or remote server. Applications appear in the CiscoWorks Homepage
in three columns. By default, only the first level items are displayed when you login. These first level
items are in the collapsed mode. Lower level navigations are displayed only if you manually expand a
first level item.
The title of each Application Panel displays the application name and it serves as a link to the relevant
application home page. Application tasks are displayed in a hierarchical manner. When you select a
task from the hierarchy, it launches the application Homepage in a new window.
If the corresponding application Homepage already exists for some other task, the window for this
task is focused, instead of creating a new window.

Resources Panel
Resources panel is located at the top right corner of the CiscoWorks Homepage. It also serves as a
top-level launch point for CiscoWorks resources, Cisco.com resources, third party application links,
and web based custom tool links. This panel shows the types of resources at the first level and details
in the next level.

Note CiscoWorks Homepage provides an admin user interface to turn off this information if you
are behind the firewall or if you do not want this information to be displayed in the
CiscoWorks Homepage.

42
CiscoWorks Product Updates Panel
CiscoWorks Product Updates panel is located at the lower right corner of the page. It displays
informative messages about CiscoWorks product announcements, and help related topics. If you click
the More Updates link, a popup window appears with all the Cisco Product Update details.
If the Common Services server is behind a firewall, the proxy settings are used to download messages
from Cisco.com. CiscoWorks Homepage provides an Admin UI to accept the proxy settings.
CiscoWorks Homepage alerts you if any urgent messages are found. By default, the polling interval is
one minute. You can change the polling interval.

Tool Bar Items


Three buttons are available on top of the right hand side of the CiscoWorks Homepage:
• Logout—Returns the browser to the Login dialog box.
• Help—Displays the Online help in a separate browser window. See “Launching LMS Applications

• About—Displays the general information about the software. The window displays license
information, version and patch level, installation date and copyright information.

Configuring LMS Administration Parameters


After you have installed the required applications and verified the installations, you must perform the
following administrative tasks:

Common Services
The administrative tasks for Common Services are:
• Manage the CiscoWorks users. You can perform this task using Common Services > Server >
Security > Local User Setup.
• Configure the Browser-Server Security. Common Services Server uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
encryption to provide secure access between the client browser and management server and also
between the management server and devices.
You can enable or disable SSL depending on the need to use secure access. You can perform this
task using Common Services > Server > Security > Browser-Server Security Mode Setup.
• Configure the SMTP server to receive e-mails from the CiscoWorks server. You can perform this
task using Common Services > Server > Admin > System Preferences.

43
• Configure the Cisco.com credentials. This information is used while performing some tasks such
as downloading software images, downloading device packages, etc. You can perform this tasks
using Common Services > Server > Security > Cisco.com Connection Management > Cisco.com
User Account Setup.
• Configure the proxy URL to access the Internet from the CiscoWorks server, if your system is
behind a firewall. You can do this using Common Services > Server > Security > Cisco.com
Connection Management > Proxy Server Setup.
See the Online help or User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3.

Resource Manager Essentials


The administrative tasks for Resource Manager Essentials are:
• Configure the protocol order for:
Network administrators can assign the protocols to be used in RME for Configuration
Management and Software Management.
– To define the protocol order for fetching and deploying the configuration files use Resource
Manager Essentials > Admin > Config Mgmt.
The available protocols are Telnet, TFTP, RCP, SSH, SCP, and HTTPS.
– To define the protocol order for Software image import and distribution use Resource
Manager Essentials > Admin > Software Mgmt > View/Edit Preferences.
The supported protocols are: RCP, TFTP, SCP and HTTP.
• Schedule periodic archive of configuration files (with and without configuration polling). By
default, this is disabled. You can enable this using Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Config
Mgmt > Archive Mgmt > Collection Settings.
By default, the device inventory collection and polling are scheduled. You can change the schedule
by selecting Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Inventory > System Job Schedule.
See the Online help or User Guide for Resource Manager Essentials 4.0.3.

Campus Manager
The administrative tasks for Campus Manager are:
• Schedule Campus Manager data collection.
You can schedule the day, time, and frequency of data collection.
You can define the periodicity for polling the network. Polling is done to see updated devices and
link information without running data collection. Polling is enabled by default. The default poll
interval is 2 hours.
You can perform this task by selecting Campus Manager > Administration. Click Admin and select
Campus Data Collection > Schedule Data Collection.

44
• Set up Data Collection Filters
You can specify VTP Domains or IP Address ranges for data collection using the Campus Data
Collection > Data Collection Filters.
• Configure User Tracking acquisition actions.
User Tracking allows you to locate end-user hosts in the network. It collects and presents
information gathered by the Asynchronous Network Interface (ANI) Server and held in the ANI
database. You can also use User Tracking to find duplicate connections that could indicate
potential problems in your network.
To configure this select Campus Manager > User Tracking and click Acquisition > Actions.
See the Online help or User Guide for Campus Manager 4.0.3.

Device Fault Manager


• Adjust polling and threshold settings.
The Common Services system-defined groups include groups such as Broadband Cable, Routers,
Switches and Hubs, and so forth. These groups have specific polling and threshold settings. The
DFM Polling and Threshold function creates its own corresponding groups based on Common
Services and DFM groups. These are:
– Polling groups that determine how often group members are polled for data.
– Threshold groups that determine acceptable levels of performance and utilization for group
members.
You can perform this task using Device Fault Manager > Configuration > Polling and Thresholds.
• Set up notifications.
In addition to watching network conditions as they change on the Alerts and Activities display,
you can use DFM notification services to automatically notify users and other systems when
specific changes occur on selected devices. To do so, you must create subscriptions for e-mail
notifications, DFM-generated SNMP trap notifications, or Syslog notifications.
You can also change event names to names that are more meaningful to you, and these names will
be reflected in the DFM displays and notifications.
You can perform this task using Device Fault Manager > Notification Services.
• Add views to the Alerts and Activities Display.
The Alerts and Activities display provides a consolidated real-time view of the operational status
of your network. When a fault occurs in your network, DFM generates an event (or events). Events
are rolled up into alerts, one alert for each device with a fault.
You can perform this task using Configuration > Other Configurations > Alerts and Activities
Defaults.
See the Online help or User Guide for Device Fault Manager 2.0.3.

45
Managing Devices in CiscoWorks Server
The Device and Credential Repository (DCR) is a common repository of devices, their attributes, and
credentials, meant to be used by various network management applications. The Device and
Credential Admin (DCA) provides an interface to administer DCR.
DCR helps multiple applications share device lists and credentials using a client-server mechanism,
with secured storage and communications. The applications can read or retrieve the information. The
applications can also update the information in DCR so that the updated information could be shared
with other applications. DCR:
• Stores device attributes and credentials, permits dynamic creation of attribute types, and permits
default grouping and filtering.
• Supports proxy device attributes, unreachable devices, and pre-provisioning of devices.
• Allows you to populate the repository. You can import devices from many sources. You can export
device data that you can use with third-party network management systems such as, HP
OpenView Network Node Manager and Netview.
• Uses a unique Internal Device Identifier to access device details, and detects duplicate devices
based on specific attributes.
• Encrypts credential data stored in the repository. Access to device data is permitted only by
secured channel and client authentication.
• Supports IPv6 and SNMP v3.
You must first add devices in Common Services. These devices get added automatically in CM, DFM
and RME. You have to manually add devices to IPM.
These topics describe how to add devices to the CiscoWorks Server:
• “Adding Devices to DCR Using Campus Manager Device Discovery” section on page 47
or
“Adding Devices to DCR Using Common Services Device and Credential Admin” section on
page 50
• “Adding Devices to IPM” section on page 51
Figure 3 shows the Common Services Device Management Window. From this window, you can:
• Add devices
• Import device list (File, Local NMS, and Remote NMS)
• Exclude devices while adding/importing devices

46
• Edit device credentials
• View the device list
• Export device credentials
• Delete devices

Figure 3 Common Services Device Management Page

To learn how to add devices to DCR, see either of these sections:


• Adding Devices to DCR Using Campus Manager Device Discovery
• Adding Devices to DCR Using Common Services Device and Credential Admin

Adding Devices to DCR Using Campus Manager Device Discovery


To discover the network, the Device Discovery process needs the SNMP credentials of the devices in
the network and the IP address for the seed device. The following are some key facts about Device
Discovery:
• Device Discovery performs Network Discovery using the Cisco Discovery Protocol as the
discovery mechanism.
• Device Discovery determines the management IP address of the device.

47
• Devices in DCR and user-configured seed devices from Campus Manager are used by the Device
Discovery process. It populates the Device and Credentials Repository with the following
discovered information:
– Host name, Domain name, Management IP address, Display name, and sysObjectID
– SNMPv2 read-only community string (if SNMPv2 was used for communicating with the
device)
– SNMPv3 user ID, password, engineID, authorization algorithm (if SNMPv3 was used for
communicating with the device).
Device Discovery does not update SNMPv2 write community string.
To configure Device Discovery:

Step 1 From CiscoWorks Homepage, select Campus Manager > Administration.


A new Campus Administration page appears. (See Figure 4.)

Figure 4 Campus Manager Administration Page

48
Step 2 Select Admin > Device Discovery > SNMP Settings.
The SNMP Settings page appears.
Step 3 Specify the community strings as required.
Step 4 Click Admin > Device Discovery > Discovery Settings.
The Discovery Settings page appears.
Step 5 Specify the Discovery options.
Step 6 Click Seed Devices > Configure.
The Configure Seed Devices dialog box appears. Seed devices are devices used to initiate
network discovery.
Step 7 In the Seed Device field, click Browse to enter seed devices stored in a file.
You must separate the seed devices stored in the file with a carriage return. That is, only one
seed device can be stored in each line in the file.
For example, the seed devices in the file can be entered as:
172.20.5.6
172.20.118.130
10.77.209.209
172.20.99.2
10.77.210.101
10.77.210.103

To limit discovery by IP addresses in your network, from the Discovery Settings page, click IP
Address Range > Configure.
The IP Address Range settings screen appears. Specify IP Address Range settings as required.
If IP Address Range is not specified, Device Discovery tries to discover as many devices as it
can, based on the community strings and connectivity.
For more information, see “Configuring Device Discovery” Online help or the “Using Device
Discovery Administration” section in the “Administering Campus Manager” chapter of the
User Guide for Campus Manager 4.0.3

49
Adding Devices to DCR Using Common Services Device and Credential Admin
The Device Management option in Device and Credential Admin (DCA) helps you manage the list of
devices and their credentials.
To add a device:

Step 1 In the CiscoWorks Homepage, select Common Services > Device and Credentials >
Device Management.
The Device Management page appears.

Note The Device Management UI helps you perform operations on Standard Devices,
Cluster Managed devices and Auto Update devices. Operations on Auto Update
Servers can be performed only at the Auto Update Server Management UI.

The Device Summary window displays the devices and groups in DCA.
Step 2 Click Add.
The Device Properties page appears. The Device Information dialog box provides three device
management types:
• Standard Type
• Auto Update Type
• Cluster Managed Type
For more information, see the “Adding Devices” Online help or the “Managing Devices”
section of the User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3.

To import bulk of devices:

Step 1 In the CiscoWorks Homepage, select Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device
Management.
The Device Management page appears.
Step 2 Click Bulk Import.
The Import Devices popup window appears.

50
Step 3 Select any one of the following from the drop-down list:
• File
• Local NMS
• Remote NMS—You should have permissions to log into the remote NMS, without a
password. Common Services uses remote login to log into the Server and get device
details. The rhosts file should be modified to enable you to login without a password.
For more information, see the “Importing and Devices and Credentials” Online help or the
“Managing Devices” section of the User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3.

Adding Devices to IPM


You must manually import devices to IPM to manage devices. You can perform this task by selecting
Internetwork Performance Monitor > Admin > Import From Device and Credential Repository.

Note There is no mechanism to import only selected devices from DCR into IPM. All the devices in
DCR will be imported into IPM. Any devices in DCR that cannot be an IPM source are not
added. The import log file will contain error message for the devices that are not added.

You can import devices as:


• Sources
When you import devices as Sources, IPM contacts the device and adds them only if they are
running IOS image with IP SLA feature and if the Read and Write community strings are provided.
• Target IP SLA responders
When devices are imported as Target IP SLA Responders, if the device has a read community
string, IPM verifies whether the IP SLA responder is enabled on the target. If there is no read
community string, the target’s IP SLA responder status is not verified.
• Target IP devices
When you import devices as Target IP Devices, IPM adds the device without either contacting the
device or making any verification. When you import devices from the Device and Credentials
Repository, if the devices already exist in IPM, they are updated.
For more information see the “Defining a Collector” section of the User Guide for Internetwork
Performance Monitor 2.6.

51
Editing Device Credentials
After adding/importing the devices to DCR, you can edit the device credentials such as, SNMP RO,
SNMP RW, username, password, etc.
You can edit the credentials for a single device or bulk of devices using the Common Services Device
Management Window.
To edit the device credentials for a single device:

Step 1 In the CiscoWorks Homepage, select Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device
Management.
The Device Management page appears.
Step 2 Select the devices from the CS@CiscoWorks_Server device group. Where, CiscoWorks_Server
is the CiscoWorks server name.
Step 3 Click Edit
The Device Properties dialog box appears.
The Devices column lists all devices selected. From the Devices column, you should separately
select each device that you need to edit.
Step 4 Select the device from the Device pane.
The current attributes are automatically populated in the device information fields. Edit the
device information you want to, in the respective fields.
For more information, see the “Editing Device Credentials” Online help or the “Managing

53
Performing Maintenance on Your CiscoWorks Server
As a administrator you need to perform maintenance to keep your information updated and to get rid
of unnecessary or outdated reports and data on the system.
The CiscoWorks server maintenance tasks include:
• “Performing Regular Backups” section on page 54
• “Purging the Data” section on page 55
• “Maintaining the Log Files” section on page 56

Performing Regular Backups


You can schedule immediate, daily, weekly, or monthly automatic database backups. You should back
up the database regularly so that you have a safe copy of the database. Common Services uses multiple
databases to store client application data. These databases are backed up whenever you perform a
backup.
To backup data:

Step 1 From the CiscoWorks Homepage, select Common Services > Server > Admin > Backup.
The Set Backup Schedule dialog box appears.
Step 2 Enter the following:
• Backup Directory—Location of the backup directory. We recommend that your target
location be on a different partition than where CiscoWorks is installed.
• Generations—Maximum number of backups to be stored in the backup directory.
• Time—From the lists, select the time period between which you want the backup to occur.
Use a 24-hour format.
The Time field is not enabled if you have selected Immediate as the Frequency.
• Frequency—Select the backup schedule:
– Immediately—The database is backed up immediately
– Daily— The database is backed up every day at the specified time.
– Weekly—The database is backed up once a week on the specified day and time. Select
a day from the Day of week list.
– Monthly—The database is backed up once a month on the specified day and time.
Select a day from the Day of month list.

54
Step 3 Click Apply.
The Schedule Backup message verifies your schedule and provides the location of backup log
files.
You can verify backup status by examining the log file at the following location:
On Solaris:
var/adm/CSCopx/log/dbbackup.log
Windows:
NMSROOT/log/dbbackup.log
Where NMSROOT is the CiscoWorks installed directory.

To restore the backup data, see the “Restoring Data” Online help or the “Configuring the Server”
section of the User Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3

Using Applications in ACS Mode
By default, CiscoWorks Common Services uses CiscoWorks Server authentication (CiscoWorks Local)
to authenticate users, and authorize them to access CiscoWorks Common Services applications.
After authentication, your authorization is based on the privileges that have been assigned to you. A
privilege is a task or an operation defined within the application. The set of privileges assigned to you
defines your role, and dictates the extent and type of system access you have.
You can use the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) services to add new users, a source of
authentication other than the native CiscoWorks Server mechanism (that is, the CiscoWorks Local
login module).
Cisco Secure ACS provides authentication, authorization, and accounting services to network devices
that function as AAA clients. Cisco Secure ACS uses the TACACS+ and RADIUS protocols to provide
AAA services that ensure a secure environment.
With CiscoWorks and CiscoSecure ACS integration, you can provide device level authorization. This
device level authorization allows you to authorize only selected users to perform certain tasks such as
configuration updates and software image updates.
When the CiscoWorks server is in the ACS Login mode, a new device group, Secure Views is created.
This allows you to perform a task on a device or restrict a set of device. Secure Views enable filtering
of group membership based on the user and the application task context in which a request is made.
Filtering is performed only when operating in ACS Login mode. While operating in non-ACS mode,
no filtering is performed and evaluating a group results in all devices that group being returned.
The following are the supported Cisco Secure ACS for Windows versions:
• Cisco Secure ACS 3.2
• Cisco Secure ACS 3.2.3
• Cisco Secure ACS 3.3.2
• Cisco Secure ACS 3.3.3 (appliance/software)
• Cisco Secure ACS 4.0(1) (software)

Configuring ACS
Configure ACS after all applications are installed. If you have installed an application after configuring
the CiscoWorks Login Module to the ACS mode, then the users of that application are not granted any
permissions. You have to configure this manually in Cisco Secure ACS server. However, the application
except IPM is registered to Cisco Secure ACS.
To register IPM to Cisco Secure ACS, you have to run this command:
On Solaris:
/opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl /opt/CSCOpx/bin/AcsRegCli.pl -register ipm

59
On Windows:
NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\AcsRegCli.pl -register ipm
Where, NMSROOT is the CiscoWorks installed directory.
For example:
C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\bin\perl C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\bin\AcsRegCli.pl -register ipm

Multiple instances of same application using the same ACS server will share settings. Any changes in
the settings, affect all instances of that application.
The System Identity user needs to be configured in ACS, with all the privileges the user has in
CiscoWorks.
You can create new roles using ACS. The role you create is not shared across all the LMS applications.
The role is shared across the same application in different CiscoWorks Servers registered to that
particular ACS. You must create new roles for each of the LMS applications that are running on the
CiscoWorks server.
For example, if you have configured 10 CiscoWorks servers with an ACS server and you have created
a role in RME (for instance, RMESU), this role is shared for the RME application that runs on all 10
CiscoWorks servers.
If ACS is in HTTPS mode, you must enable ACS communication on HTTPS. To enable ACS
communication, select the Connect to ACS in HTTPS mode check box in the Login Module dialog
box. For more information, see User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS. You can find the document at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacs4nt/acs33/user/index.htm.

11 Cisco Product Security Overview


Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html
From this site, you can perform these tasks:
• Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.
• Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.
• Register to receive security information from Cisco.
A current list of security advisories and notices for Cisco products is available at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt
If you prefer to see advisories and notices as they are updated in real time, you can access a Product
Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed from this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products


Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release
them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a
vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:
• Emergencies — security-alert@cisco.com
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for
which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are
considered nonemergencies.
• Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:
• 1 877 228-7302
• 1 408 525-6532

68
Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product to encrypt any
sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work from encrypted information
that is compatible with PGP versions 2.x through 8.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your
correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security
Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the
serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.

Submitting a Service Request


Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3
and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you
require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool
provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your
service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447
For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts

Definitions of Service Request Severity


To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations.
You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and
Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore
service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
