•CiscoView—A graphical device management tool

•CiscoWorks2000 Server—Common set of management services shared by all CiscoWorks2000 products

•Integration Utility—An integration module that provides support for third party network management systems (NMS)

CiscoWorks2000 Upgrade

If you are installing CiscoWorks2000 for the first time, see the "Performing a New Installation" section. If you are upgrading from CiscoWorks2000 CD One 1st Edition, see the "Performing a New Installation" section. If you are upgrading from any other CiscoWorks2000 application, refer to your specific CiscoWorks2000 application installation guide for supported upgrade information and see the "Performing an Upgrade Installation" section.
