Accessing the CiscoWorks2000 Server

---

Note You must set up the client system before using Campus. See Installation and Setup Guide for CD One on Windows 2000 for configuring browser and client systems.

---

To access Campus Manager, enter the URL of the CiscoWorks2000 Server in your web browser:

http://server_name:1741

where server_name is the name of the CiscoWorks2000 Server and 1741 is the port on which it was installed. If you were prompted to supply a different port number for the CiscoWorks2000 Server during the installation, use that port number in the URL.

If you cannot access the CiscoWorks2000 Server or the desktop is not displayed correctly, see Appendix A, "Troubleshooting the Installation" In addition, refer to the troubleshooting chapter in User Guide for Campus Manager.

After you access the CiscoWorks2000 Server, continue to the "Performing Administrator Tasks" section.

Performing Administrator Tasks

To perform administrator tasks, you must log in as administrator and set up the server for other users.

Logging In As Administrator

To log in as administrator:

---

Step 1 Enter the system administrator username and password in the Login Manager dialog box (Figure 3-1): The default username and password are:

User Name: admin

Password: admin

Figure 3-1 Login Manager Dialog Box

Step 2 Click Connect.

The Login Manager dialog box is replaced by the navigation tree.

---

You should change the default password for these logins as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the server. See the CiscoWorks2000 Server online help and User Guide for CiscoWorks2000 Server for more information.

To log out of the CiscoWorks2000 Server, see the "Logging Out as Administrator" section for information.

After you log in as the administrator, continue to the "Securing the CiscoWorks2000 Server" section.

Securing the CiscoWorks2000 Server

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, see 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.

Backing Up the ANI Database

You should back up the ANI database immediately after a new or upgrade installation. This creates a backup compatible with Campus Manager 3.1 in case you must restore your database. This also prevents you from overwriting your database by restoring a backup from the previous version. See the ANI Server online help or User Guide for CiscoWorks2000 Server for more information.

After you perform the necessary administrator tasks, continue to the "Setting Up Campus Manager Applications" section.

Setting Up Campus Manager Applications

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

Configuring the ANI Server

Before starting a Campus Manager application, the ANI Server must be running and properly set up. 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. See the ANI Server online help and User Guide for CiscoWorks2000 Server for assistance 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:

---

Step 1 Add a seed device to the ANI Server.

For more information, see the Topology Services or the ANI online help.

Step 2 Make sure the ANI Server is running.

See the ANI Server online help for more information.

Step 3 Select Campus Manager > Topology Services to start 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. See User Guide for Campus Manager for more information.

Verifying Topology Services

To verify that Topology Services is working properly:

---

Step 1 Verify that all devices and interfaces are discovered.

Properly discovered devices and interfaces are displayed in green in the Topology Services window.

Step 2 Verify that devices displayed in red are reachable and have correct community strings.

Step 3 Verify that all VLANs and ELANs are discovered and that their port assignments are correct.

For more information, see the Topology Services online help.

---

Setting Up User Tracking

To set up User Tracking:

---

Step 1 Start User Tracking.

Step 2 Confirm that the ping sweeps option is enabled.

Step 3 If you enable User and Host Acquisition, perform the tasks outlined in the "Supporting User Name Collection" section.

For more information, see 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. See 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:

---

Step 1 Install and configure a DNS server on your network.

A DNS server is required for Campus Manager. For devices with multiple IP addresses, there should be a single DNS entry that includes all IP addresses.

Step 2 Provide correct read community strings on all devices.

Step 3 Provide correct write community strings for multi-layer switching shortcut path determination on Catalyst 5000 devices.

Step 4 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.

Step 5 Enable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on all Cisco devices.

If CDP is not enabled, these devices will not appear on Layer 2 path traces.

Step 6 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, see the Path Analysis online help.

---

Verifying Path Analysis

To verify that Path Analysis is working properly:

---

Step 1 Run Action > Discover All.

Step 2 Start Topology Services and make sure that all devices, interfaces, and links are discovered properly.

Properly discovered devices are displayed in green in the Topology Services window. Also verify that all VLANs and ELANs are discovered with correct port assignments.

Step 3 Start User Tracking and run Discovery with a ping sweep to verify that all end-user stations are discovered.

Step 4 Run nslookup on several known devices in the DOS shell.

Verify that DNS lookup works and takes one second or less.

Step 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.

Step 6 Run a few traces between endpoints known to User Tracking or Topology Services and verify that the trace completed successfully.

For troubleshooting information, see the Path Analysis online help.

---

Setting Up VLAN Port Assignment

To set up VLAN Port Assignment, Start VLAN Port Assignment.

For more information, see 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. See the VLAN Port Assignment online help for more information.

Verifying VLAN Port Assignment

To verify that VLAN Port Assignment is working properly:

---

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

Step 2 Perform a port summary for a VTP Domain.

The table should be populated that domain's port information.

Step 3 Select a port, preferably unconnected, and move it to a different VLAN.

The port information should be updated.

See the VLAN Port Assignment online help for more information.

---

Setting Up Discrepancy Reports

To set up Discrepancy Reports:

---

Step 1 Select the Discrepancy Reports folder from the desktop

Step 2 Start Physical Discrepancy Reports or Logical Discrepancy reports.

For more information, see 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.

Logging Out as Administrator

To end your administrator tasks, you must log out of Campus Manager.

---

Step 1 Close all secondary browser windows. You should have only one browser window opened displaying the Campus Manager interface.

Step 2 Click Logout. The Login Manager dialog box replaces the navigation tree.
