definitions, user access privileges, and security protocols.
This chapter provides the mapping of CS tasks in LMS 4.2.

Certificate Setup
CiscoWorks allows you to create
security certificates that enable
SSL communication between
your client browser and
management server. Self signed
certificates are valid for five
years from the date of creation.
When the certificate expires, the
browser prompts you to install
the certificate again from the
server where you have installed
CiscoWorks

Peer Server Account Setup helps
you create users who can
programmatically login to
CiscoWorks Servers and perform
certain tasks. These users should
be set up to enable
communication among multiple
CiscoWorks Servers. Users
created using Peer Server
Account Setup can authenticate
processes running on remote
CiscoWorks Servers.

System Identity Setup
Communication between
multiple CiscoWorks Servers is
enabled by a trust model
addressed by certificates and
shared secrets. System Identity
setup helps you to create a
"trust" user on servers that are
part of a multi-server setup. This
user enables communication
among servers that are part of a
domain. There can only be one
System Identity User for each
machine.
Setting up Peer
Server Certificate
Setup

Common Services > Server >

Peer Server Certificate Setup
You can add the certificate of
another CiscoWorks Server into
its trusted store. This will allow a
CiscoWorks Server to
communicate with another using
SSL. If a CiscoWorks Server
needs to communicate with
another CiscoWorks Server, it
must possess the certificate of
the other server. You can add
certificates of any number of
peer CiscoWorks Servers to the
trusted store. You can add, delete
and view the details of the client
certificates.
Setting up Single
Sign-On Setup
CiscoWorks LMS Portal >
Common Services > Server >
Security > Multi-Server Trust

Single Sign-On Setup
With Single Sign-On (SSO), you
can use your browser session to
transparently navigate to
multiple CiscoWorks Servers
without authenticating to each of
them. Communication among
multiple CiscoWorks Servers is
enabled by a trust model
addressed by Certificates and
shared secrets.

configuration when the
device was started with the
current configuration. These
configurations are fetched
from the device.
•
Running vs. Latest
Archived—Compares the
running configuration with
the most recent archived
configuration. The Running
configuration is fetched
from the device.
•
Two Versions of the Same

User Tracking generates reports
on various functions and
attributes of the end hosts and
devices connected to your
network that are managed by
LMS. These reports are
generated by polling the network
at intervals set by the network
administrator.
In addition to polling the
network at regular intervals,
LMS tracks changes about the
end hosts and users on the
network to provide real-time
updates.
Dynamic Updates are
asynchronous updates that are
based on SNMP MAC
notifications traps.

Topology Services displays the network
topology of the devices discovered by LMS,
through Topology Maps. Besides these
Maps, the application includes numerous
reports that help you to view the physical
and logical connectivity in details.
Bandwidth Utilization is the measure of
traffic flowing across a link. LMS highlights
bandwidth utilization across links, in the
Topology maps. It computes the bandwidth
utilization by taking the best estimate of the
mean physical layer network utilization on
the links, during the sampling time interval.
In Topology Map, LMS can differentiate the
links using colors, based on the bandwidth
utilized by them. You can customize the
filters to display bandwidth utilization.

VLAN
A Virtual Local Area Network
(VLAN) allows you to create
logical broadcast domains that
can span across a single switch
or multiple switches, regardless
of physical positioning. A
VLAN contains a group of
devices on one or more LANs.
You can create amd delete
VLANs using VLAN
Configuration wizard.

CiscoWorks LMS Portal >
Campus Manager >
Configuration > PVLAN
Configuration > Create PVLAN
Configuration > Workflows:
VLAN > Create Private LAN
A Private VLAN (PVLAN) is a
VLAN that isolates devices at
Layer 2 (L2), from other ports
within the same broadcast
domain or subnet. PVLAN
segregates traffic at L2 and
converts a broadcast segment
into a non-broadcast
multi-access segment.
To create a Private VLAN, you
must designate one VLAN as
primary and another as either
isolated, community, or two-way
community VLAN. Then, you
can assign additional VLANs as
secondary VLANs.
After creating primary and
secondary VLANs you must
associate the secondary VLANs
to the respective primary
VLANs.
Deleting PVLAN
CiscoWorks LMS Portal >
Campus Manager >

System-defined groups have a

example, when you configure
specific customizable groups of
interest and want to give them
the highest priority.
Applying Changes

Threshold > Apply Changes
Monitor > Fault Settings: Setup
> Apply Changes
Changes to polling parameters,
setting priorities and threshold
values do not take effect until
you apply changes, thereby
reconfiguring LMS to use the
new values. Similarly, after you
resume devices or device
components that were suspended
from polling, you must apply
changes for the device elements
to be polled.
Your login determines whether
you can perform this operation.

Navigating Cisco Prime CiscoView Tasks in LMS
4.2
Cisco Prime CiscoView is a Web-based device-management application that provides dynamic status,
monitoring, and configuration for a broad range of Cisco devices. Cisco Prime CiscoView aides network
management by graphically displaying physical views of Cisco devices, with color-coded modules and
ports for at-a-glance performance and status monitoring. Configuration capabilities allow
comprehensive changes to devices, when requisite security privileges are granted.
This chapter provides mapping of CiscoView tasks in Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.

CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 Applications Removed from LMS 4.2
CiscoWorks Assistant, part of CiscoWorks LMS 3.2, is a web-based tool that provides workflows to help
you resolve network management and deployment issues. A workflow is a compilation of tasks that help
you deploy CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) servers and troubleshoot your network. The
CiscoWorks Assistant Engine, which works in the back end, executes the workflows and allows you to
navigate among the tasks.
This CiscoWorks Assistant application is not available from LMS 4.2.

Device Management task
Viewing Conflicting CiscoWorks LMS Portal > RME > Devices >
Device Types
Device Management > Conflicting Device
Types
The Conflicting device state occurs if the
sysObjectID in the device and that in the Device and
Credential Repository do not match.
Viewing Normal
Devices
Normal devices are devices that have been
successfully contacted by LMS, or the device has
contacted LMS at least once (polling, successful job
completion, Syslog receipt). This indicates that this
was a real device in the network (at one point in
time).
CiscoWorks LMS Portal > RME > Devices >
Device Management > Normal Devices
This state does not guarantee that you have had a
successful Inventory and Configuration Collection.
Viewing Pending
Devices
CiscoWorks LMS Portal > RME > Devices >
Device Management > Pending Devices
When the device is added to LMS, device
management moves the device into this state, and
invokes all the registered application tasks such as
Inventory Collection and Configuration collection.
Based on the results of the tasks, the device moves to
one of these states—Pre-deployed, Normal or
Aliased.
The Pending state is a transient state and no device
will be in this state for any significant time. If the
devices are in this state for a longer time, you can
suspend the devices and resubmit for managing.
Working with
pre-deployed
devices
CiscoWorks LMS Portal > RME > Devices >
Device Management > Pre-deployed Devices
In the Pre-deployed device state, the device has never
been contacted by LMS through protocols such as
SNMP, Telnet, or SSH.
If LMS contacts the device through tasks such as
Inventory polling, Configuration polling, and
receiving syslog messages, the device moves to a
Normal state.
Reports Task
Setting the Reports
Archive Default
Directory
CiscoWorks LMS Portal > RME > Admin >
Reports > Archive Settings
You can change the default directory location for
reports archival on the LMS server.
Software Mgmt Task

CiscoWorks LMS Portal > RME > Admin >
For IPX/IGX/BPX/MGX devices, both the
Software Mgmt > Update Upgrade Information Cisco.com Upgrade Analysis and the Repository
