Product Overview

Campus, a member of the CiscoWorks2000 Family of Products, is a suite of web-based network management tools that enables administrators to obtain various types of graphical views of their network topology and end-user information. Campus Manager is based on a client/server architecture that connects multiple web-based clients to a server on the network.

The CiscoWorks2000 Server supplies tools and services to the Campus Manager applications, including the Asynchronous Network Interface (ANI) Server. The ANI Server discovers information about network devices and saves it in the ANI database for other applications, including the Campus applications, to access. For more information, refer to Getting Started with the CiscoWorks2000 Server and the CiscoWorks2000 Server and ANI Server online help.

The Campus Manager applications are:

Path Analysis—View the actual path packets are taking between end nodes on your network.

User Tracking—Locate and display data about users and hosts in your network.

Topology Services—Discover, view, and monitor the physical and logical services on your network.

Campus Upgrade Paths

You can upgrade to Campus Manager 3.0 from CWSI Campus 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4. For versions of CWSI Campus earlier than version 2.2, uninstall the application or upgrade to CWSI Campus 2.2 before upgrading to Campus 3.0.

Campus requires CiscoWorks2000 CD One Second Edition, which is the foundation for the CiscoWorks2000 Family of Products; it includes the CiscoWorks2000 Server and the ANI Server. When you install CiscoWorks2000 CD One, the previous version of CWSI Campus is removed and its database is preserved. When you install Campus Manager 3.0, the preserved database is converted to Campus Manager 3.0 format.You must upgrade to CiscoWorks2000 CD One Second Edition before installing or upgrading to Campus 3.0.


Caution Uninstalling Campus deletes the ANI database.
