Central Administration?

[jlutz]

My company just purchased several Cisco Catalyst family switches. I see there are lots of downloads available on the site; is there something available to help set up and administer all of these switches?

For a small handful of switches the centralized configuration tools (Prime Infrastructure namely) are overkill.

Cisco Network Assistant (CNA) is a free tool that does minimal configuration and mostly visibility into connectivity and monitoring current status. I'd recommend you have a look at that.
