Managing a Catalyst 5500 with an LS1010 PAM
An LS1010 Port OR Cat8510-CSR Adapter Module (PAM) can be added to ports 9
through 12 of a Catalyst 5500 switch, effectively making the 5500 into two devices
with distinct IP addresses. To manage this LS1010 PAM, click the LS1010 icon
in the CiscoView icon bar. The LS1010 Host IP Address dialog box appears. Enter the IP address of the LS1010 PAM, and you will be
able to manage the LS1010 device, modules, and ports independently.
Note: While the Configure and Monitor menus at the top of the CiscoView window
continue to refer to the Catalyst 5500, you can also access these menus for the
LS1010/Cat8510-CSR PAM by holding down the right mouse button on the
LS1010/Cat8510-CSR icon that appears to the left of the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR supervisor card
(slot 13) in the CiscoView display.
To manage this LS1010/Cat8510-CSR PAM, click the MultiServiceSwitchRouter icon
in the CiscoView icon bar. The LS1010/Cat8510-CSR Host IP Address dialog box
appears. Enter the IP address of the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR, and you will then be
able to manage the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR device, modules, and ports independently.
Ciscoview has the ability to store these associated embedded device IP
Addresses, so that the next time (or every other time thereafter) that the user
invokes this Cat5500, the embedded LS1010/Cat8510-CSR device will automatically be
invoked in the composite view.
If the user desires not to show this embedded device in any particular session
thereafter, he must invoke the "LS1010/Cat8510-CSR Host IP Address" dialog
again and erase the IP-address from the text entry box, then click OK. Ciscoview
will then show just the Cat5500 without the embedded device; this is the state
CiscoView was in before you entered the embedded device IP Address the very
first time.
