Configuration Professional Software for Catalyst

[Chadly]

I'm trying to setup the Cisco Configuration Professional Software for Catalyst on my 2960-XR switch stack, but can't seem to find ANY documentation on how to do this. I'm referring to the solution found here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/configuration-professional-catalyst/index.html. Has anyone successfully used this setup? Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to get it configured?

Hi Deepak,

Unfortunately no, that document just gives general information, but doesn't provide an explanation for how to actually setup the Web GUI. I already have the html files, but I don't know what to do with them.

Hi,

Below are the configuration commands:

aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authorization exec default local
aaa authorization network default local

!

ip http server

!

ip http secure-server
ip http authentication aaa

!

ip http access-class 2      <ACL for Security of HTTP access>

!

ip http max-connections 4

!

ip http timeout-policy idle 120 life 240 requests 1

!

!

Where do I put the Configuration Professional for Catalyst files? Do they replace the existing html files for Device Manager Web GUI that was installed with the current firmware?

[Deepak Kumar]

that's commands are not to replace any file. As you mentioned that files are already there so above commands will help you to configure HTTP server on the switch and it will allow you to access switch as web GUI. 

Thanks,

Sorry, maybe I didn't communicate properly in my original post. I have downloaded the HTML files from the Configuration Professional for Catalyst website, but I have not placed them on the switch. I have them on my desktop, and I wonder if I need to replace the old device manager GUI files with the new config professional files, or if there is another process involved to start using Configuration Professional?

Configure the following to get the CCP on Cat Working:

!To enable the web server on the switch

ip http server

ip http authentication local 

!Copy the file to a dedicated directory - doesn't matter which

! Maybe you have to manually create the directory before copying

archive tar /xtract tftp://IP/c29xxx-cwml.xx.tar flash:/ccp

! After copying the files tell the catalyst webserver where they are located

ip http path flash:/ccp/

Browse to the switch ip and you will get the new WebSite
