offers a simple and intuitive GUI interfacefor conﬁguring andmonitoring the switch.The software isWeb-based and

embedded in Cisco Catalyst 3750, 3650, 3550, 2970, 2960, 2950, 2955, and 2940 Switches.Cisco Device Manager

reduces the cost of deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to quickly and simply set up switches.

Cisco Network Assistant Software provides an integrated management interface for delivering intelligent services,

such as multilayer switching, QoS, multicast, and security ACLs. Cisco Network Assistant Software allows

administrators to take advantage of beneﬁts formerly reserved for only the most advanced networks without having

to learn the CLI, or even the details of the technology. With Cisco Network Assistant, customers can conﬁgure

multiple ports and switches simultaneously, perform software updates across multiple switches at once, and copy

conﬁgurations to other switches for rapid network deployments. Bandwidth graphs and link reports provide useful

diagnostic information, and the topology map gives network administrators a quick view of the network status.

Cisco Network Assistant supports a wide range of Cisco Catalyst intelligent switches from Cisco Catalyst 2940

through Cisco Catalyst 4506. Through a user-friendly GUI, users can conﬁgure and manage a wide array of switch

functions and start the device manager of Cisco routers and Cisco wireless access points.

The Cisco Network Assistant Software Guide Mode leads the user step-by-step through the conﬁguration of

advanced features and providesenhanced onlinehelp for context-sensitiveassistance. CiscoAVVID (Architecturefor

Voice,Videoand IntegratedData)Wizardsprovideautomated conﬁgurationofthe switchtooptimally support video

streaming or video conferencing, voice over IP (VoIP), and mission-critical applications. In addition, Smartports

offers a set of veriﬁed feature macros per connection type in an easy-to-apply manner. With these macros, users can

consistently and reliably conﬁgure essential security, availability, quality of service, and manageability features

recommended for Cisco Business Ready Campus solutions with minimal effort and expertise. These Wizards and

Smartports can save hours of time for network administrators, eliminate human errors, and ensure that the

conﬁguration of the switch is optimized for these applications.

Inaddition toCisco Network AssistantSoftware, CiscoCatalyst 2955Seriesswitches provideextensive management

tools using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network management platforms such as CiscoWorks.

Managed with CiscoWorks, Cisco Catalyst switches can be conﬁgured and managed to deliver end-to-end device,

VLAN,trafﬁc,andpolicy management.CoupledwithCiscoWorks,CiscoResourceManager Essentials, aWeb-based

management tool, offers automated inventory collection, software deployment, easy tracking of network changes,

views into device availability, and quick isolation of error conditions.

Enhanced Hardware Features

The Cisco Catalyst 2955Switch has beendesigned for deployment in harshenvironments. Through the use ofspecial

thermal design techniques and industrial-rated components, the Cisco Catalyst 2955 is rated to operate at extreme

temperatures (–40 to 60 C; –40 to 140 F). Robust mechanical speciﬁcations allow for its deployment as a mobile

platform and under extreme vibration and shock environments (50G trapezoidal shock pulse). The compact form

factor, DIN rail mounting, and dual cabling orientations facilitate its deployment into industrial enclosures, trafﬁc

control cabinets, and transportation vehicles. Two normally open relays can be associated with the different port

alarms, power alarms, and high temperature conditions to send an output signal to other external mechanisms

(visible or audible alarms, for example), HMIs, or PLCs for a controlled shutdown. Dual power inputs provide for

optional redundant power supplies, guaranteeing an even higher level of resiliency and reliability.
