 |
Note You must set up the client before using Campus. Refer to Installing and Setting Up CiscoWorks2000 CD One Second Edition on HP-UX for configuring browser and client systems. |
To access Campus Manager, enter the URL of the CiscoWorks2000 Server in your web browser:
http://server_name:<port number>
where server_name is the name of the CiscoWorks2000 Server. If you were prompted to supply a port number for the CiscoWorks2000 Server during the installation, use that port number in the URL. The default port number is 80.
If you cannot access the CiscoWorks2000 server or the desktop is not displayed correctly, refer to the "Troubleshooting the Installation"appendix. In addition, refer to the troubleshooting chapter in Using Campus Manager.
After you access the CiscoWorks2000 Server, continue to the "Performing Administrator Tasks" section.
After accessing the CiscoWorks2000 Server, you must log in as the administrator and set up the server for other users.
To log in as administrator:
User Name:adminPassword:admin
Step 2 Click Connect.
The Login Manager dialog box is replaced by the navigation tree.
|
Note You should change the default password for these logins as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the server. Refer to the CiscoWorks2000 Server online help and Getting Started with the CiscoWorks2000 Server for more information. |
To log out of the CiscoWorks2000 Server, refer to the "Logging Out As Administrator" section for information.
After you log in as the administrator, continue to the "Securing the CiscoWorks2000 Server" section.
To secure the CiscoWorks2000 Server, change the passwords for the default logins immediately. Changing the administrator login password is important because the administrator login provides access to all application options.For more information, refer to the CiscoWorks2000 Server online help or Getting Started with the CiscoWorks2000 Server.
After securing the database, continue to the "Backing Up the ANI Database" section.
After you have performed the necessary administrator tasks, continue to the "Setting Up Campus Manager Applications" section .
This section describes the tasks that you must perform to set up the Campus Manager applications. Refer to the online help for individual applications for troubleshooting information.

Note Many tasks require the administrator login. |
To ensure that the ANI Server successfully discovers the devices in your network, you must set up your network correctly. Table 3-2 lists the required tasks for each application, marked by a checkmark (¸).
Refer to the ANI Server online help and Getting Started with the CiscoWorks2000 Server for more information.
| Topology Services | User Tracking | Path Analysis | Network Setup Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Upgrade device software. |
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Connect to seed device. |
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). |
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Enable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). |
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Set a unique sysName variable on devices. |
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Enable Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) on ATM devices. |

¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Configure VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP). |
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Configure VLAN trunks on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. |
¸ | ¸ | ¸ | Create the default configuration server for ATM LAN Emulation (LANE). |
| ¸ | ¸ | Connect users to the network. |
|
| ¸ | Enable source routing. |
Before launching a Campus Manager application, the ANI Server must be running and properly setup. You must verify that the correct community strings and a seed device are specified. You can also check to see that the ANI Server is running. Refer to the ANI Server online help and Getting Started with the CiscoWorks2000 Server for assistance in performing these tasks.
After you configure the ANI Server, continue to the "Setting Up Topology Services" section.
To set up Topology Services:
1. Add a seed device to the ANI Server. For more information, refer to the Topology Services online help or the ANI online help.
2. Make sure the ANI Server is running. See the ANI Server online help for more information.
3. Select Campus Manager>Topology Services to launch the application.
You can configure the network discrepancies that you would like reported by selecting and deselecting the listed discrepancies. Select Campus Manager > Administration>Network Discrepancies. Refer to Using CiscoWorks2000 Campus Manager for more information.
To verify that Topology Services is working properly:
1. Verify that all devices and interfaces are discovered. Properly discovered devices and interfaces are green in the Topology Services window.
2. Verify that devices displayed in red are reachable and have correct community strings.
3. Verify that all VLANs and ELANs are discovered and that their port assignments are correct.
For more information, refer to the Topology services online help.
To set up User Tracking:
1. Launch User Tracking.
2. Confirm that the Ping Sweeps option is enabled.
3. If you enable User and Host Acquisition, perform the tasks outlined in the "Supporting User Name Collection" section.
For more information, refer to the User Tracking online help.
To have the ANI Server automatically retrieve user names for User Tracking, you must enable user and host acquisition and install appropriate scripts. Refer to the ANI Server online help for more information.
To verify that User Tracking is working properly:
To set up Path Analysis:
1. Install and configure a DNS server on your network. A DNS server is required for Campus Manager. For devices with multiple IP address, there should be a single DNS entry that includes all IP addresses.
2. If your network has VLANs, install and configure a VTP server in your domain.
3. Provide correct read community strings on all devices.
4. Provide correct write community strings for multilayer switching shortcut path determination on Catalyst 5000 devices.
5. Edit the VLAN/ELAN Mapping Table, which provides mapping of VLANs and ELANs to subnets. These mappings are auto-discovered based on information discovered by Topology Services and User Tracking. In some cases, the information might be incomplete. In these cases, you can edit a VLAN/ELAN mapping table to supplement the Topology Services and User Tracking information. If subnet mappings are not correct, Layer 2 traces on those subnets might fail.
6. Enable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on all Cisco devices. If CDP is not enabled, these devices will not appear on Layer 2 path traces.
7. Enable source routing on your network. This is required if you plan to run path traces outside of the domain known to Topology Services.
For more information, refer to the Path Analysis online help.
To verify that Path Analysis is working properly:
1. Run Action>Discover All.
2. Launch Topology Services and make sure that all devices, interfaces, and links are discovered properly. Properly discovered devices are green in the Topology Services window. Also verify that all VLANs and ELANs are discovered with correct port assignments.
3. Launch User Tracking and run Discovery with a ping sweep to verify that all end-user stations are discovered.
4. Run nslookup on several known devices in the command shell. Verify that DNS lookup works and takes one second or less.
5. Verify the Subnet Mapping table entries. Each VLAN and ELAN entry should have any corresponding subnets listed. Any subnets that do not correspond to a VLAN or ELAN should be in a Subnet row.
6. Run a few traces between endpoints known to User Tracking or Topology Services and verify that the trace completed successfully.
For troubleshooting information, refer to the Path Analysis online help.
Client Application Manager (CAM) improves the initial start-up response and caching operations for certain CiscoWorks2000 applications, including Campus Manager applications. It downloads required Java classes from the server to the client machine and also prevents caching. If the server machine is also used as a client, installing CAM will improve response. The Client Application Manager files require less than 50 MB.
For more information, refer to the CiscoWorks2000 Server online help.
To end your administrator tasks, you must log out of Campus Manager.
Step 2 Click Logout. The Login Manager dialog box replaces the navigation tree.
