Cisco Network Assistant is a free software program that you download from
Cisco.com and run on your PC. Network Assistant offers advanced options for
configuring and monitoring multiple devices, including switches, switch clusters,
switch stacks, routers, and access points.
You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Access the
CLI either by connecting your PC directly to the switch console port or through a
Telnet session from a remote PC or workstation.
Follow these steps:
Connect the supplied RJ-45-to DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on

the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on the switch.

parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

configuration guide and the command reference for more information.
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network
Management Solution (SNMS) and HP OpenView to configure and manage the
switch. You also can manage it from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is
running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.
The Cisco IE2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management
device that works with embedded CNS agents in the switch software. You can use
IE2100 to automate initial configurations and configuration updates on the
switch.
