Getting Started With Campus Manager
Starting Campus Manager Applications
Understanding the User Interface
Getting Started With Campus Manager
This chapter tells you how to get started with Campus Manager. The sections in this chapter are:
•
Starting Campus Manager Applications
•
Logging Into CiscoWorks
You must log into CiscoWorks server to access Campus Manager. If you are logging into CiscoWorks server for the first time, you can use admin, which is the reserved username and password.
To prevent unauthenticated access to the CiscoWorks Server, CiscoWorks applications, and data, Common Services provides features for managing security. You can specify the user authentication mode using the AAA Mode Setup.
CiscoWorks Common Services supports two modes of user authentication and authorization:
•
•
CiscoWorks Common Services, set to default, uses CiscoWorks Server authentication (Non ACS), to authenticate users and authorize them to access CiscoWorks Common Services applications.
The CiscoWorks Server authentication scheme has five roles. You cannot change these roles, or the privileges assigned to those roles. The following is the list of privileges, sorted from the least privileged to the most privileged:
•
•
•
•
•
•
You can also use Cisco Secure ACS to provide user authentication and authorization. Cisco Secure ACS allows you to create custom roles and privileges, so that you can customize Common Services client applications.
You can use Cisco Secure ACS to provide a more secure environment. Cisco Secure ACS allows you to define the roles for accessing a subset of devices.You can also decide on the applications that would function on the selected set of devices.
If you configure Common Services to use non ACS modes for authentication, CiscoWorks Server provides authorization services.
In ACS mode, the privileges you have depend on the ACS role assigned to you. Refer to Campus Manager ACS Help for complete details on roles and privileges in Campus Manager.
Before Using Campus Manager
You must ensure that you have a valid license before you start using Campus Manager. For License information, see Installing and Getting Started with CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.0.
Campus Manager determines the devices, which are to be managed, through Data Collection filters or the auto-manage function. The auto-manage function, automatically manages the devices, where all the devices in Device and Credential Repository are added into Campus Manager as managed devices.
You can also restrict the configuration to use a subset of the devices in DCR to be managed by Campus Manager, based on the devices in an IP address range or a VTP Domain.
Devices that have been deleted from DCR continue to be managed by Campus Manager if Data Collection or User Tracking Acquisition are in progress.
The licence is validated while launching different applications of Campus Manager like Topology and Path Analysis. If the license is expired or not valid, you are prompted to obtain a valid license.
