Do we have a built-in option for web based tool in Nexus 5548UP switches for management purpose?

[praveenvarun]

I have purchased Nexus 5548UP switch, i want to know if we have a built-in option for web based tool to manage and configur it just as ASA have ASDM. If there is no such options then what are the options available that can be freely available and can be used to get performance monitoring done.

DCNM (Data Center Network Manager) runs on a server (Windows, RHEL or Solaris) and can be used to manage Nexus devices. It's free for Nexus 1K through 5K devices (paid license required for Nexus 7K management).

There is not a "built-in" management product like ASDM for ASA.

Hi Praveen.

There is no built-in management tool.

As marvin mentioned - we have separate product - DCNM for enterprise solutions.

For monitoring you can use Cacti, Zabbiz, Nagios - they are all free, web-based and allow you collect SNMP statistics from your nexus devices.

HTH,
