After you set up your network, continue to the "Configuring the ANI Server" section.

Configuring the ANI Server

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.

Setting Up Topology Services

To set up Topology Services:

1. Add a seed device to the ANI Server and start the discovery. 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.

Configuring Network Discrepancies

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.

Verifying Topology Services

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 unreachable 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.

Setting Up User Tracking

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.

Supporting User Name Collection

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.

Verifying User Tracking

To verify that User Tracking is working properly:

–Discover with a ping sweep to verify that all end-user stations are discovered.

Setting Up Path Analysis

To set up Path Analysis:

1. Install and configure a DNS server on your network which is required for Campus Manager. For devices with multiple IP address, there should be a single DNS entry that includes all IP addresses.

2. Provide correct read community strings on all devices.

3. If your network has VLANs, install and configure a VTP server in your domain.

4. Provide correct read community strings on all devices.

5. Provide correct write community strings for multi-layer switching shortcut path determination on Catalyst 5000 devices.

6. 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.

7. Enable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on all Cisco devices. If CDP is not enabled, these devices will not appear on Layer 2 path traces.

8. 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.

Verifying Path Analysis

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.

Setting Up VLAN Port Assignment

To set up VLAN Port Assignment:

1. Start VLAN Port Assignment.

For more information, refer to the VLAN Port Assignment online help.

Displaying Topology Views and Attribute Summaries

To highlight devices, VLANs in a VTP domain, or a VTP domain map, or to display attribute summaries for devices, Topology Services must be running. Refer to the VLAN Port Assignment online help for more information.

Verifying VLAN Port Assignment

To verify that VLAN Port Assignment is working properly:

1. Check the status bar to verify that the ANI Server is running properly.

2. Perform a Port Summary for a VTP Domain. The table should be populated with that domain's port information.

3. Select a port, preferably unconnected, and move it to a different VLAN. The port information should be updated.

Refer to the VLAN Port Assignment online help for more information.

Setting Up Discrepancy Reports

To set up Discrepancy Reports:

1. Select the Discrepancy Reports folder from the desktop.

2. Start Physical Discrepancy Reports or Logical Discrepancy Reports.

For more information, refer to the Discrepancy Reports online help.

Verifying Discrepancy Reports

To verify that Discrepancy Reports is working properly:

Check the status bar to verify that the ANI Server is running properly.
