Ciscoworks new versions

[ronacooper]

I just got an email asking me to fill out a survey about:

Resource Manager Essentials (RME) version 4.0

Campus Manager (CM) version 4.0

Device Fault Manager (DFM) version 2.0

Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) version 2.6

CiscoView (CV) version 6.1

Would have been cool if I had known these versions existed. Where is the updated Ciscoworks info - seems like the web reference pages are mostly out of date. Does anybody really know what this product is called anymore?

As a side note - has there been any further enhancements with required Java - this would be a big motivator in itself to get us to upgrade? Any new integration with NNM 7.5 or OVO?

Thanks for any input.

It is called CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 2.5

Some of the documentation is available at:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/cw2000_b/lms/lms25/index.htm

Only Topology Services, Path Analysis and the IPM client still use the Java Plug-in (version 1.4.2_08 if Common Services 3.0.2 is installed)

Note: plugin is required to log in if browser does not have Microsoft JVM...Newer versions of Internet Explorer are not delivered with JVM and Microsoft can no longer distribute it. So without JVM, when logging into LMS 2.5, you will get a message to download the plug-in. This said however, only the functions listed by nhabib make heavy use of the plug-in
