Migrating from CiscoWorks Classic to CiscoWorks2000

This appendix provides information about how CiscoWorks features and functionality are transitioned to services provided by the CiscoWorks2000 Server:

Note Additional CiscoWorks Classic features may be provided by other CiscoWorks2000 applications. To find information on migration for other application suites, refer to the migration section in the user guide for a specific CiscoWorks2000 suite.

When replacing CiscoWorks Classic with CiscoWorks2000, consider that the CiscoWorks2000 Server does not provide data migration from CiscoWorks Classic (see Table A-1).

TACACS Manager

Provides TACACS server to manage user access.

The XTACACS protocol is replaced with the TACACS+ protocol.

The commercial version of TACACS+ is CiscoSecure. CiscoSecure's scripts will convert XTACACS data files to XTACACS+ data files. For information about CiscoSecure, refer to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/cisco/mkt/access/secure/index.shtml

You can also use public domain TACACS and XTACACS (Extended TACACS) software, available from CCO.

For information about these "as is" freeware items, refer to the following URL:

A freeware daemon available from CCO also can help you migrate from XTACACS protocol to the TACACS+ protocol.
