Help on VMS-communication and prerequisite

[lenny.lim]

HI, we're in the middle of waiting for the Cisco VMS 2.3 and i have a few concerns:

1) VMS has SSH sessions to all the devices being managed. Does these session stay up permanently or only when needed.

2) From what i know VMS comes with Ciscoworks common services and therefore don't need to buy any additional components. Does RME has any additional enhancements if installed together ??

Appreciate all your help. Thanks

hello lenny

the ssh sessions are built up only when needed.its not up always.. for eg, when we force a configuration archive change for a device, a ssh session is formed and the activity is completed..

VMS basically comes with common services, RME, monitoring centers etc.. you dont need to buy anything extra to install RME on ur VMS box.. RME has to be installed on a ciscoworks VMS server with common services. withouth common services, u cant install RME.. its built in inside the VMS software..

hope this helps you... let us know if you have any other queries...
