CNA 6.0 also includes these enhancements:
The system requirements are described in these sections:
The PC on which you install Network Assistant must meet these minimum hardware requirements:
These operating systems support Network Assistant:
Note To run Network Assistant on MAC OS X (10.7 Lion and above), follow these steps:
- From the System Preferences window, select Security and Privacy.
- From the Security and Privacy window, select the General tab and click Anywhere.
Table 1 lists the devices that Network Assistant supports. It supports the Cisco Catalyst Express 500 devices only as community members; these devices cannot be cluster members.
Note The Topology view of Network Assistant supports Cisco Catalyst 65 00 switches. You cannot add these devices to a community or cluster, but you can start Device Manager for them from the Topology view.
Cisco Aironet 350, 1100, 1200, and 1242 series. Network Assistant supports them only if they run a Cisco IOS image.
Note Network Assistant supports only autonomous access points. Access points that are managed by a wireless LAN controller are not supported.
Cisco PIX 515E firewalls. PIX firewalls do not support the Cisco Discovery Protocol, so they are not automatically shown as neighbors in the Topology view. They are shown only after you add them to a community by using a Create Community or Modify Community window. To see a PIX firewall link to another community member, you must add the link manually by selecting Add Link in a Topology popup menu.
This section describes how to choose command and standby command devices when a cluster consists of a mixture of Cisco Catalyst switches. When creating a device cluster or adding a devices to a cluster, follow these guidelines:
Note Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switches cannot be configured as standby command devices.
Note The Application Updates feature is currently not available.

You can upgrade switch software in two ways by using Network Assistant:
Note Prior to doing a software upgrade, check if there is enough memory space is available to upgrade the device.
See the switch release notes for the minimum Cisco IOS software release for the devices that Network Assistant manages.
You should review this section before you begin working with the device. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround. Some features might not work as documented, and some features could be affected by recent changes to the device hardware or software.
These sections describe the limitations and restrictions:
These limitations apply only to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switches:
This limitation applies only to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 series and Cisco Catalyst 3750, Cisco Catalyst 3560, Cisco Catalyst 3550, and Cisco Catalyst 2970 switches:
This limitation applies only to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 series and Cisco Catalyst 3750, Cisco Catalyst 3560, Cisco Catalyst 3550, and Cisco Catalyst 2970 switches:
The workaround is to ensure that the ports on the standby cluster members are not in the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) blocking state. See the “Configuring STP” chapter in the software configuration guide for more information about verifying port status. (CSCec31495)
This limitation applies only to the Cisco Catalyst 3750 and Cisco Catalyst 3750-E switches:
On Cisco Catalyst 3750 and Cisco Catalyst 3750-E switches, when running on-demand diagnostic tests on both the stack master and stack member switches, sometimes the tests execute only on the stack master.
– Execute the tests on the stack members first, and then run the tests separately on the stack master.
– Schedule the tests to run once on both the stack master and stack member switches.
This limitation applies only to the Cisco Catalyst 2955, Cisco Catalyst 2950, and Cisco Catalyst 2940 switches:
These limitations apply to all the devices described in the “Devices Supported” section:
The workaround is to ensure that the ports on the standby cluster members are not in the STP blocking state. See the "Configuring STP" chapter in the software configuration guide for information about verifying port status. (CSCec31495)
After you configure a speed setting, click Apply, and then configure a duplex setting. (CSCeh43889)
The workaround is to not have same hostname for more than one device. (CSCsb50280).
The Smartports window shows the NME-XD-24ES-1S-P EtherSwitch service module with two Mode buttons instead of one.
In the Modify VLAN window if you switch the vlan IDs of the isolated VLAN and the community VLAN and then click OK and Apply, these changes do not appear in the VLANs window.
The workaround is to do the same steps again. This time the changes take place.
On Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switches, Network Assistant supports only the features shown in Table 2 .
These limitations apply to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series switches:
The workaround is to close Network Assistant and restart it. (CSCef67553)
The workaround is to upgrade the software on the switch to a later version of Cisco IOS. (CSCeh75133)
These limitations apply only to communities:
The Topology view does not show the internal Gigabit Ethernet link between routers and the EtherSwitch service modules NME-16ES-1G and NME-X-23ES-1G.
Open one Network Assistant session per desktop per community. (CSCeh53619)
These limitations apply only to clusters:
The workaround is to add the new member without a username and password. When the new member is added to the cluster, remove the existing username and password from the Username and Password fields, enter a new username and password, and then apply it to all cluster members. (CSCdz07957)
The workaround is to close all Network Assistant sessions and then to restart it. (CSCeb33995)
The workaround is to enable TACACS authentication on the member devices. (CSCed27723)
The workaround is to close and then to restart Network Assistant. (CSCed39693)
The workaround is to open the Port Settings window with Network Assistant in read-write mode. (CSCee25870)
There is no workaround. (CSCee93695)
There is no workaround. Make the Cisco Catalyst 3750 or Cisco Catalyst 3550 switch the command device.
After you click Finish, you see the commands that are actually applied to the device. (CSCeg60365)
Close the Bandwidth Graph window, reopen it, and zoom in or out again. (CSCej02776)
These limitations apply to both communities and clusters:
The workaround is to add the address by using the router ospf process-id, area area-id, and range address mask configuration commands. (CSCed87031)
You can correct this by not using commas in hostnames or DNS names. Do not enter commas when also entering multiple DNS names in the IP Configuration tab of the IP Management window in Network Assistant.
The workaround is to close and to reopen the IP Address window when connectivity is restored. (CSCee91784)
The workaround is to reconfigure the media type to RJ-45 through the Port Settings window. (CSCeh31699)
The workaround is to ensure that the Interface field in these windows applies to the port that you selected. Be sure to close these windows between port selections. (CSCei17154)
The workaround is to Press ALT-s to return to the search results. (CSCei68648)
The workaround is to ensure that the VLANs and the native VLAN are the same on the access point and the switch port. (CSCsb77434)
These sections contain important notes related to Network Assistant:
Network Assistant does not manage switches that are running in VSS (Virtual Switching System). If a device is discovered running in VSS, Network Assistant won’t support the configuration of any features, and you might see unexpected results if you try to configure any features.
These are the installation notes that apply to Network Assistant:
Replace 1024m with a lower setting that does not exceed the available RAM. There is no way to foresee what value will work. Try 512m, and lower it further if necessary. You can use the dial peer tag range 2500 to 2999 out-of-band to define your own dial peers.
If you run Cisco IOS 12.2(25)SEE or later, Cisco IOS 12.2(25)SEG or later, or Cisco IOS 12.1(22)EA7 or later, you must run Network Assistant 4.0 or later.
Workaround is to use archive download-sw /overwrite command to manually configure it or use the image version Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)E or later.
The workaround is to use the transport input ssh telnet and line vty 0 15 global configuration commands to allow SSH and Telnet access through the vty lines. After you upgrade to Cisco IOS 12.2(25)SE or higher, you can enable HTTP or HTTPS separately from Telnet. (CSCdz01037)
– For OS X: $HOME/.networkassistant/communities
– For Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\.networkassistant\communities
All the devices for the topology of a community are derived from the “Cisco IOS CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)” table. Therefore, the Topology view shows duplicate devices when CDP discovers duplicate devices. This happens for a single device when you enter the show cdp neighbor command. Two devices appear: one with the actual hostname (for example, abc), the other with hostname.domainname (for example, abc.cisco.com).
This note applies to cluster configuration only on the Cisco Catalyst 3550 switches:
The cluster setup privileged EXEC command and the standby mac-address interface configuration command have been removed from the command-line interface (CLI) and the documentation because they did not function correctly.
These notes apply to Network Assistant configuration on all the devices described in the “Devices Supported” section:
– From the System Preferences window, select Security and Privacy.
– From the Security and Privacy window, select the General tab and click Anywhere.
If you are not using the default method of authentication (the enable password), you need to configure the HTTP server interface with the method of authentication used on the switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
The network assistant uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default method of authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser.
If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address in the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new HTTP port number). You should write down the port number through which you are connected. Use care when changing the switch IP information.
– Cisco Catalyst 3550 member switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EA1 or earlier
– Cisco Catalyst 2950 member switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier
– Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL or 3500 XL member switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)WC2 or earlier
In the Front Panel View, if the device is running one of the software releases listed previously, the device LEDs do not appear. In Topology View, if the member is an LRE switch, the CPE devices that are connected to the switch do not appear. The Bandwidth and Link graphs also do not appear in these views.

These sections describe the open caveats that could create possibly unexpected activity in this software release.
Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all the devices described in the “Devices Supported” section:
The software upgrade on the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X switch might fail if you use Network Assistant to upgrade the switch.
The workaround is to upgrade the switch by using the CLI through the console.
On a Cisco Catalyst 3750-X switch, you cannot delete a directory containing hundreds of files by using the Files tab of the Maintenance > File Management window.
The workaround is to delete the files individually or in groups of 100 or less.
In Configuration Settings tab of the Configure > Ports > Port Settings window, you cannot set the speed for SFP+ ports on Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X switches. The ports operate at 10 Gb/s.
The upgrade fails when you try to upgrade the WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S switch from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)EX2 to IOS Release 12.2(55)EX3 by using the Software Upgrade > Upgrade Settings window and selecting the Standard Mode.
The workaround is to select the Remote TFTP Mode option from the Software Upgrade> Upgrade Settings window.
When you select the Trap Managers tab of the Configure > Device Properties > SNMP Management window and check Enable SNMP, Enable Traps, and Send All Traps, and apply the changes, the changes are not saved. In this case it adds all the available types of traps.
The workaround is to create a trap manager with limited types of traps to send and you need to uncheck the Send All Traps checkbox.
When you use the Configure > Ports > EtherChannels > Create EtherChannels window to create an EtherChannel on an interface that has voice VLAN enabled, an error message is displayed, and the EtherChannel is saved without the interface details.
The workaround is to use the Configure > Switching > Voice VLAN window to change the setting to None on the specific interface before you create the EtherChannel.CSCtu42125
The cluster to community conversion feature does not work when the password store feature is enabled.
The workaround is to disable the password store feature.
The Sync Stored Credentials with Cisco CCO window fails to display if you enter the wrong old credentials more than four times under these conditions:
1. You reset your CCO credentials on Cisco.com and launch Network Assistant.
2. You enter the new credentials in the Authenticate to Cisco CCO window, and the Sync Stored Credentials with Cisco CCO is displayed.
3. You then enter the community name in the Connect window, and click OK. If you exit and launch Network Assistant again, the Sync Stored Credentials with Cisco CCO window does not appear.
The workaround is to enter the valid device credentials, or to re-create your communities.
You cannot enable or disable the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) protocol by using the RIP tab in the Configure > Routing > Protocols window.
The workaround is to enable or disable RIP by using the CLI.
The software upgrade fails when you try to upgrade the switch by using the Software Upgrade > Upgrade Settings window and selecting the Standard mode.
The workaround is to upgrade the switch by using the CLI. See the switch release notes for information on upgrading the switch by using the CLI.
The software upgrade fails when you try to upgrade the switch by using the Software Upgrade > Upgrade Settings window and selecting the Remote TFTP Server mode.
The workaround is to upgrade the switch by using the CLI. See the switch release notes for information on upgrading the switch by using the CLI.
The output displayed in the uploaded configuration file for the show snmp command does not match actual CLI output.
Network Assistant produces an exception error when you try to configure MAC addresses by using the Configure > Switching > MAC Addresses window.
The workaround is to configure MAC addresses by using the CLI. See the switch software configuration guide for information.
Network Assistant produces an exception error when you try to configure the Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocols by selecting the EIGRP tab and the OSPF tab in the Configure > Routing > Protocols window.
The workaround is to configure the EIGRP and OSPF protocols by using the CLI. See the switch software configuration guide for information.
If the EIGRP and OSPF protocols are not configured, and you click the Advanced button in the EIGRP tab of the Configure > Routing > Protocols window, the system stops responding.
You cannot upgrade the Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches by using the Software Upgrade> Upgrade Settings window and selecting the Standard Mode.
The workaround is to upgrade the switch by selecting the Remote TFTP Mode option from the Software Upgrade> Upgrade Settings window.
The online help does not appear in the VLAN windows when you access the VLAN feature in guide mode (Switching > VLANs).
The workaround is to use the VLAN feature in expert mode if you want to view the online help.
You cannot enter the TFTP server path when you use the Software Upgrade> Upgrade Settings window and select the Remote TFTP Mode option.
The workaround to use the TFTP mode in the Upgrade Settings window, is to run the TFTP server in the local machine.
The software upgrade using Cisco Network Assistant fails on Cisco Catalyst 3650 switches when using the Standard mode as well as the Remote TFTP Server mode. On Small Business switches, the upgrade fails when using the Standard mode.
The workaround is to upgrade the Small Business switches using the TFTP mode and the Cisco Catalyst 3650 switches using the CLI.
When upgrading the IOS on a switch stack using Network Assistant, one of the member switches reboots after the upgrade even if you select No in the dialog box that prompts you to reload the upgraded devices.
The workaround is to upgrade the switch by using the CLI through the console.
When you try to uninstall Network Assistant, the application prompts to navigate to the location where Java executable is available.
The work around is to locate the Java executable during the uninstallation process.
These caveats apply to Cisco EtherSwitch service modules:
The Front Panel view on EtherSwitch service modules NME-16ES-1G-P, NME-X-23ES-1G-P, NME-XD-24ES-1S-P, and NME-XD-48ES-2S-P shows the EN-LED as not enabled.
When running Network Assistant with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40) SE and later, you cannot enable EIGRP routing protocols using the IP Routing Protocols window in Network Assistant.
The workaround is to configure EIRGP by using the CLI.
You cannot upgrade the switch using.tar files by selecting the Remote TFTP Mode option from the Software Upgrade> Upgrade Settings window.
These caveats were resolved in Network Assistant 6.3:
The LEDs on the Front Panel view of a Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switch display correctly now. Also, the software upgrade on the switch completes successfully.
All the switch members in a stack now display the LED port status accordingly.
Configuring VLAN using Network Assistant is resolved in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6.6E, Cisco IOS XE Release 16.5.1 and Cisco IOS releases 15.2(5)E1, 15.2(6)E or later.
