CWSI Installation Guide for Windows NT

CiscoWorks for Switched Internetworks (CWSI) is a set of three network management applications: CiscoView, VlanDirector, and TrafficDirector.

This booklet provides the following information and procedures:

• System and Network Requirements

• Preparing to Install CWSI

• Installing CWSI, including procedures for installing CiscoView, VlanDirector, and TrafficDirector

• Starting CWSI

• Adding New Cisco Devices and Applications

Instructions are also provided for removing CWSI from your system.

System and Network Requirements

Before you install CWSI, make sure your system has enough disk space and meets the requirements listed here.

Software

You must install Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 to run CWSI. CWSI uses the native WINSOCK stacks supplied with Windows NT.

CWSI runs in one of three ways, depending on your system type:

• As standalone applications

• On Hewlett-Packard OpenView (HP OpenView) for Windows 7.2b (Version C.02.14)

• On CastleRock SNMPc Version 4.1g with HP OpenView emulation support (CiscoVision)

Hardware

The following components are the minimum hardware requirements for running CWSI:

• IBM PC-compatible 486 processor (586 Pentium processor recommended)

• SVGA color monitor and graphics adapter

• 24 to 32 MB of RAM

• At least 50 MB of available hard drive space, depending on the number of devices you install

• Windows-compatible CD-ROM drive

• Network driver interface specification/Open Data Link Interface (NDIS/ODI)-compliant network adapter card

• Mouse or mouse-compatible pointing device

Preparing to Install CWSI

Before you install CWSI, locate the pink sheet in the CWSI package containing the TrafficDirector serial number, password, and expiration date (referred to as the evaluation number, evaluation password, and evaluation expiration date on the pink sheet). You will need to enter this information during the installation.

Installing CWSI

The CWSI installation is accomplished in two stages. First, CiscoView is installed, and then VlanDirector and TrafficDirector are installed. The installation procedures perform the following functions:

• Detect any existing CWSI installation

• Allow you to automatically remove an existing CWSI installation

• Detect any SNMPc or HP OpenView installation

• Incrementally install all required files

Installing CiscoView

Follow these steps to install the CiscoView component of CWSI:

1. Insert the CWSI CD into your CD-ROM drive.
   
   
2. In the Windows NT Program Manager window, select File>Run.
   
   
3. Enter the following path name in the Run dialog box (using the appropriate letter for your CD-ROM drive):
   

   cdrom_drive:\cww\setup.exe

   
   

   The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next.

   
   
   
4. Click Next. The User Information dialog box appears.
   
   
5. Enter your name and company, and click Next. The Select Installation Option dialog box appears.
   
   
6. Click on one of the following CiscoView installation options, and then click Next.
   

• CastleRock SNMPc

• HP OpenView

• Standalone

  If you choose CastleRock SNMPc or HP OpenView and do not have that network management platform installed, this program exits. You can rerun the CWSI installation program after installing the appropriate network management platform (CastleRock SNMPc or HP OpenView).

  
  

  The Choose Destination Location dialog box appears, with a default destination (c:\cww) already entered.

  
  

1. You can leave the default destination or enter the directory in which you want to install CiscoView. A browse button is provided for finding the directory.
   
   
2. After choosing the destination directory, click Next.
   

**before**If your system already has a previous version of CiscoView installed, you can choose to install the new version in the same directory. This automatically removes the previous version. If you choose to install CiscoView in a different directory, the previous version is not removed and might not function properly.@@before@@

Caution **after**If your system already has a previous version of CiscoView installed, you can choose to install the new version in the same directory. This automatically removes the previous version. If you choose to install CiscoView in a different directory, the previous version is not removed and might not function properly.@@after@@

The Device Installation dialog box appears.

1. Choose one of the following options:
   

• Select the individual devices you want to install, and click OK.

• Select Select All (devices), and click OK.

• Select Cancel to install the devices later.

  The Start Copying Files dialog box appears.

  
  

1. To begin the file installation, click Next.
   

   The Copying Files display appears, showing you the percentage of the program successfully installed.

   
   

---

Note If the message "Not Enough Disk Space" appears, the setup program terminates. You need to free up disk space.

---

The Setup Complete dialog box appears, giving you the option to read the CiscoView ReadMe file or start CiscoView now.

1. Select one of the following options and click Finish to complete the CiscoView installation.
   

   The options that appear for you depend on your system type:

   
   

• Standalone--you can view the ReadMe file and run CiscoView.

• HP OpenView--you can either restart your computer now or restart it later.

• CastleRock SNMPc--you can view the ReadMe file.

Installing VlanDirector and TrafficDirector

Follow these steps to install the VlanDirector and TrafficDirector components of CWSI:

1. Insert the CWSI CD into your CD-ROM drive.
   
   
2. In the Windows NT Program Manager window, select File>Run.
   
   
3. Enter the following path name in the Run dialog box (using the appropriate letter for your CD-ROM drive):
   

   cdrom_drive:\cwsi\setup.exe

   
   

   You are asked to close all open applications.

   
   
   
4. Click Cancel to quit the installer program if you need to close applications, or click Next to continue. A dialog box appears, asking you which components you wish to install.
   
   
5. Select VlanDirector, TrafficDirector, or both, and click Next to continue.
   

   If you specified VlanDirector in the last step, the installer program now copies the VlanDirector files from the CD to your system. This can take several minutes.

   
   

   TrafficDirector is installed next if you requested it. The Choose Destination Location dialog box appears, with a default destination (c:\TrafficDirector) already entered.

   
   
   
6. Keep the default destination for TrafficDirector, or enter the directory in which you want to install it. A Browse button is provided for selecting the directory.
   
   
7. After choosing the destination directory, click Next.
   
   
8. Now you are asked to enter your TrafficDirector serial number, password, and expiration date, which are included in the CWSI package. These items are required for installation.
   

   The installer program copies the TrafficDirector files from the CD to your system. This can take several minutes.

   
   

**before**When the TrafficDirector installation is finished, you are asked if you want to restart your system now or do it later. You must restart your system before using TrafficDirector for the first time.@@before@@
