This document discusses the CiscoView 3.0(1) release. It includes the following information:
CiscoView is a GUI-based device management software application that provides dynamic status, statistics, and comprehensive configuration information for Cisco Systems' switched internetworking products. CiscoView allows you to display a graphical representation of each network device, display configuration and performance information, and perform minor troubleshooting tasks.
CiscoView allows you to manage the following Cisco devices:
The documentation for CiscoView 3.0(1) includes this document, a CD-ROM booklet, and online help. The primary documentation for CiscoView is its online help.
The following lists the online help links that are missing or broken. These are being addressed and will be resolved in the next release.

If you cannot open a device in CiscoView, you will receive a message indicating that the device is unmanageable. This message indicates one of the following conditions:
This section lists notes and restrictions that apply to the CiscoView 3.0(1) release.
Cisco recommends that when managing Cisco 2500 series devices, you run Cisco IOS(TM) software version j-l. The Cisco IOS (TM) Release 10.3 d-l does not work correctly with CiscoView. CiscoView cannot display information for serial ports. [CSCdi37059]
If you created map icons in SunNet Manager (SNM) or HP OpenView and want to retain the map icons after deinstalling CiscoView, do not remove the $NMSROOT directory. [CSCdi37187]
If you install CiscoView, deinstall CiscoView, and install CiscoView again on a Sun workstation running SunNet Manager (SNM), CiscoView will not appear as an SNM menu item until you do the following.
hostname# cat $NMSROOT/snm/struct/ciscoview.menu >> $SNMHOME/struct/cisco-elements.schema
hostname% snm -i

After mounting the CiscoView CD, if you display the CD's contents (by using the ls command), you will notice a ciscoworks directory and the extract_unbundled file. You have received the CiscoView CD. The ciscoworks directory should be named ciscoview; this will be addressed in the next CiscoView release.
If you need to install Workgroup Director and CiscoView on the same workstation, Cisco recommends that you install Workgroup Director before installing CiscoView.
If you load a new image, you need to reenter configuration commands to configure the asynchronous ports as follows:
interface Async1 ip unnumbered TokenRing0 #(or Ethernet0) interface Async8 #(8 asynchronous ports for Cisco 2509/2511; 16 asynchronous ports for Cisco 2510/2512)
[CSCdi37062]
CiscoView can run out of colors; CiscoView will continue to run, but all colors it cannot allocate will dither to black or white. You can avoid this by starting CiscoView before starting color-intensive applications, or use a private colormap for the color-intensive applications (for example,
hostname%
application_name -install
).
If the server or display workstation is running out of swap space, you will get a message such as "X error: Couldn't allocate color cell," and CiscoView will core dump. If you are running other applications, you might want to occasionally check your swap space.
To check swap space on a Sun workstation, enter the following:
hostname% pstat -T
To check swap space on an HP system, enter the following:
hostname# vmstat -n
If your system is running out of swap space (for example, only 200 KB of swap space remains), quit some of the other applications you are running, or increase your swap space if possible.
