See Installing and Getting Started With CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.0 to understand the system requirements for LMS 3.0.

SNMPv3 AuthPriv Support

AuthPriv mode provides the encryption feature in addition to the security features such as message integrity and authentication.

SNMPv3 AuthPriv support provides secure access to devices by authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. This ensures that a packet has not been tampered with in-transit. This also scrambles the contents of a packet to prevent it from being seen by an unauthorized source.

It supports the following Privacy protocols:

DES

3DES

AES-128

AES-192

AES-256

In this release, the following LMS applications provide support to SNMPv3 AuthPriv level of security:

Common Services

Campus Manager

CiscoView

Internetwork Performance Monitor

Resource Manager Essentials

The behavior of handling SNMPv3 credentials is modified in Device Fault Manager. See Importing Devices with SNMPv3 Credentials for information.

Device Discovery in Common Services

In this release, Common Services supports Device Discovery based on many discovery modules.

The Device Discovery based on Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) that was earlier supported in Campus Manager, is also supported in Common Services.

The Device Discovery engine integrated with Common Services allows you to start Device Discovery from the Common Services application and update device information in DCR.

The new user interface provided for Device Discovery helps you to:

Set up Device Discovery protocols and discovery options.

Configure seed devices using their IP Address or hostname for the modules selected.

Specify SNMP settings to discover the devices from the network.

Configure Device Discovery filter settings.

Specify global settings that are common across Device Discovery modules.

Common Services 3.1.1 supports Device Discovery operations from CLI also.

The Device Discovery process that was available in the previous versions of Campus Manager is now removed.

Third Party Tools and Software Changes

The following are the third-party tools and software-related changes in this release:

NMIM Integration with HPOV 7.5.1 on Solaris and Windows systems.

HPOV 7.5.1 and NetView 7.1.5. supports integration with DCR Import and Export module.

Support in LMS for Windows Vista Business Operating System in the client systems.

VSS Support

Virtual Switching technology is the process of combining two standalone distribution switches found in the local distribution layer into a single management point.

This Virtual Switching technology is implemented in LAN Management Solution (LMS) by providing a Virtual Switching System Configuration tool under Resource Manager Essentials (RME).

Support for HUM Installation From LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update

In this release, support is provided to install the evaluation version of Health and Utilization Monitor (HUM) 1.0 at the end of Solution Update installation.

HUM 1.0 Evaluation version is packaged in the LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update DVD and in the downloadable Solution Update from Cisco.com.

Process Consolidation

Removing Dbmonitor processes reduces the number of processes at the solution level and results in better and improved process performance.

The CiscoWorks Assistant OPSxmlDbmonitor process and Dbmonitor processes of IPM and DFM are completely removed. RMEDbMonitor and RMECSTMServer have been consolidated into EssentialsDM process.

Some processes such as NCTemplateMgr and NetShowMgr have been consolidated into ConfigMgmtServer process.

Support for MDF 1.22

Meta Data Framework (MDF) Package defines device types in a uniform way across CiscoWorks applications. This package contains new device types, new device type definitions, new device icons, and solutions to some problems in earlier MDF packages.

The Related Documentation section lists the Cisco.com URLs of LMS Application User Guides.

New Features in Common Services 3.1.1

The following are the new features and enhancements in Common Services 3.1.1:

SNMPv3 AuthPriv Support and Related Changes

Common Services Device Discovery and Related Changes

Local User Policy Setup

Security Related Changes

SNMPv3 AuthPriv Support and Related Changes

In this release, Common Services extends its support to SNMPv3 AuthPriv level of security.

DCR Administration user interface is now enhanced to allow you to enter SNMPv3 AuthPriv credentials and store them in DCR.

The SNMPSet, SNMPWalk, and Management Station to Device tools now allow you to enter SNMPv3 AuthPriv credentials to troubleshoot and gather information about devices.

Common Services Device Discovery and Related Changes

Common Services 3.1.1 supports Device Discovery that was earlier supported by Campus Manager. The Device Discovery engine integrated with Common Services allows you to start Device Discovery from the Common Services application and update device information in DCR.

The Common Services Logging Configuration user interface is enhanced to allow you to debug the Common Services Device Discovery module.

The Common Services Home and LMS Setup Center are updated with the links to Common Services Device Discovery user interface.

Local User Policy Setup

Common Services 3.1.1 provides a user interface that allows you to select the options to:

Start the local username with a number

Include special characters in the local username

Specify the length of username and passwords of CiscoWorks local users

You can enter local usernames and passwords up to 256 characters.

Security Related Changes

The following are the security related changes in Common Services 3.1.1:

Performance Improvement in ACS Server Response Time

In this release, the responses to authentication and authorization requests from ACS Server is much faster. Instead of sending the requests to Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary ACS Servers, the request is forwarded only to an Active ACS Server. The Active ACS Server is determined and maintained when the user logs into CiscoWorks Server.

Option to provide hostname during ACS Integration

In this release, the option to enter the hostname in the IP Address field in ACS Server is allowed. If the AAA client (network device) added in DCR is resolvable by its DNS, the device is imported in DCR with its display name and IP Address. Otherwise, the device is imported in DCR with its display name and hostname.

Resynchronizing device cache without re-login

Earlier, if you added any device in ACS, you needed to log out and log into CiscoWorks Server for the devices to be visible in device selector.

In this release, the device cache in CiscoWorks Server is updated at every manual refresh and synchronized with the devices in ACS. This eliminates the need to log out and log into CiscoWorks Server.

The Refresh icon provided in the Device Management page and the Devices Not Configured in ACS report helps you to manually refresh the device cache in CiscoWorks Server.

Changes in MS Active Directory Pluggable Authentication Module

Earlier, only one value of usersroot was allowed for Distinguished Name based authentication in
MS Active Directory login module.

Common Services now allows you to enter multiple usersroot for Distinguished Name based authentication in MS Active Directory login module. You can enter multiple values for usersroot separated by semicolons.

New Features in Campus Manager 5.0.2

The following are the new features and enhancements available in Campus Manager 5.0.2:

SNMPv3 AuthPriv Support in Campus Manager

Removal of Device Discovery

Additional Dynamic User Tracking Configuration

New Options in User Tracking Command Line Interface (CLI)

New Best Practice Deviation that can be fixed through Campus Manager

Enhancements in Discrepancies Report

SNMPv3 AuthPriv Support in Campus Manager

Campus Manager provides support for SNMPv3 AuthPriv mode.

Note that the IOS version running on the device should support the encryption algorithm used in SNMPv3 AuthPriv mode.

With this support:

Data can be collected securely from SNMP devices without the risk of the data being tampered with or corrupted.

Confidential information can be encrypted to prevent its contents from being exposed on the network. For example, SNMPSet command packets that change a router's configuration.

It is supported by all applications in Campus Manager. For Dynamic User Tracking, Campus Manager processes only SNMPv1/SNMPv2 traps even if the device is managed with SNMPv3.

Removal of Device Discovery

The Device Discovery process that was available in the previous versions of Campus Manager is now moved to Common Services.

Since Common Services 3.1.1 supports Device Discovery based on many protocols, the CDP based discovery earlier supported in Campus Manager is now supported in Common Services. This enables you to start Device Discovery from a single screen irrespective of the underlying protocol.

You can start Device Discovery from Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device Discovery.

Additional Dynamic User Tracking Configuration

Campus Manager provides a new GUI screen to configure properties that validate the SNMP traps received. These properties make the server receive traps only from specified devices and with specified community strings.

New Options in User Tracking Command Line Interface (CLI)

The following reports can now be generated from the CLI:

Switch Port Summary report

Generates reports that gives the number of Connected, Free, and Free down ports in each switch.

Wireless Report

Displays detailed information on Wireless clients connected to the network.

New Best Practice Deviation that can be fixed through Campus Manager

In Switches that run STP, enabling Loop Guard and Port fast features in the same port results in unpredictable behavior. Campus Manager 5.0.2 detects this condition and flags it as a Best Practice Deviation in the name Loop Guard and Port Fast Enabled on Ports.

You can also fix this Best Practice Deviation through Campus Manager.

Enhancements in Discrepancies Report

Discrepancy Report has a new column, Fix

The discrepancies report has a new column named Fix, that indicates if the discrepancy is fixable through Campus Manager. If it is fixable, a link is provided. If you click on the link, it launches the page with Fix commands.

This saves you a few mouse clicks, that was previously required to know whether the discrepancy was fixable. The same enhancement is also available in the Best Practice Deviation Report.

Fix Template is editable

Campus Manager provides the appropriate set of commands to fix a discrepancy. You can now edit and change the commands provided, to suit your network requirements.

The same enhancement is also provided in the Best Practice Deviation report.

New Features in Resource Manager Essentials 4.1.1

The following are the new features and enhancements available in Resource Manager Essentials 4.1.1:

Support for Virtual Switching System

Support for SNMPv3 AuthPriv Security Mode in RME

Device Statistics Report

Hardware Statistics Report

POE Report

Enhanced Expert Distribution using Skip Verification

SME Notes in End of Sale/End of Life Report

New Image Support for 7600 Series Devices

Support for Virtual Switching System

The Virtual Switching technology is the process of combining two standalone distribution switches found in the local distribution layer into a single management point.

This Virtual Switching technology is implemented in LAN Management Solution (LMS) by providing a Virtual Switching System Configuration tool under Resource Manager Essentials (RME).

Support for SNMPv3 AuthPriv Security Mode in RME

RME now supports SNMPv3 AuthPriv security mode to access devices. SNMPv3 AuthPriv commands can be downloaded to the device using Netconfig SNMP Security task.

After a successful download, new credentials will be updated in the DCR by default. SNMP Security task is supported only for IOS, CATOS and CE devices.

Device Statistics Report

A Device Statistics report is a system report. You can use this Inventory system report to view the count of one or more components available for each device for the selected devices. The output tables are categorized based on the devices.

Hardware Statistics Report

A Hardware Statistics report is a system report. You can generate this Inventory system report to view the count of one or more components in the selected devices. The output tables are categorized based on the components.

POE Report

Power over Ethernet (POE) is the ability of the LAN switching infrastructure to provide power over a copper Ethernet cable to an endpoint (Powered device).

You can generate a POE report to display detailed information of POE supported devices managed by RME.

Enhanced Expert Distribution using Skip Verification

To improve the performance, Software Management now uses an enhanced approach to distribute images to devices using the Expert distribution or Distribute by Device (Advanced) method.

This approach allows you to decide whether you want the verification to take place either during the software distribution job scheduling stage or during the job execution stage.

You can select the checkbox available in the Distribute by Device (Advanced) flow if you want to postpone the verification to happen during the job execution stage.

SME Notes in End of Sale/End of Life Report

The End of Sale or End of Life data may not be the same in the End of Sale/End of Life report for some devices. This is because the data source may have multiple End of Sale and End of Life values. So, the SME Notes field has been added to address this.

The SME Notes field gets populated for all such devices that have multiple End of Sale or End of Life values.

New Image Support for 7600 Series Devices

Earlier Cisco IOS Software Modularity images in LMS 3.0 did not support image names starting with c7600sup720 and c7600sup32. This was because of the change in the naming conventions for these images.

Now RME Software Management also provides support for these images having different naming conventions.

New Features in Internetwork Performance Monitor 4.0.1

The following are the new features and enhancements in Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) 4.0.1:

Clickable Legends for Graphs

Support for 5,000 Collectors

Clickable Legends for Graphs

When there are many curves in a graph, they tend to overlap each other and it becomes difficult to view a particular curve. Clickable legends have been introduced to help you view a particular graph curve by just clicking on the legends available for each graph curve.

You can click on a legend to view a particular curve, if it is not already visible. You can click on the same legend again to hide that curve.

Support for 5,000 Collectors

IPM now supports 5,000 Collectors. This 5,000 Collectors support is applicable only for:

IPM licenses that support 5,000 devices

IPM Standalone installation that includes installation of Common Services, Portal, CiscoWorks Assistant and IPM

The Collector support for the other LMS 3.0 licenses remains the same.

New Features in Device Fault Manager 3.0.2

DFM 3.0.2 provides the following new features and enhancements:

Importing Devices with SNMPv3 Credentials

Changes in Supported Network Management Systems

Importing Devices with SNMPv3 Credentials

When a device is imported into DCR with SNMPv3 Credentials, DFM reacts to each of the SNMPv3 credentials in the following ways:

SNMPv3 AuthPriv:

When a device with SNMPv3AuthPriv credentials is imported into DFM from DCR, DFM pushes the device to Unknown Devices in Inventory Group with an error message SNMPv3 is not supported.

SNMPv3 NoAuthNoPriv:

When a device with SNMPv3 username is imported into DFM from DCR, DFM pushes the device into All Questioned State Devices in Inventory Group with an error message Missing SNMPv3 Authentication Password.

SNMPv3 AuthNoPriv:

When a device, with SNMPv3 username and password, and its privacy password blank, is imported into DFM from DCR, DFM discovers the device successfully and the device is grouped under All Known Devices in Inventory Group.

Changes in Supported Network Management Systems

DFM supports HPOV 7.5.1 and NetView 7.1.5 in this release.

New Features in CiscoView 6.1.7

Note the following:

If you do not want to install one or more of the LMS 3.0 applications at present but plan to install them later, you must reinstall LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update after you install the missing applications.

For example, if you install RME 4.1 after installing the LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update, you must reinstall LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update.

However, you must follow a workaround to install any of the missing LMS 3.0 applications later, after installing the LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update. See Installing Missing LMS 3.0 Applications for details.

You cannot select individual application updates. This update automatically detects the installed LMS 3.0 applications and installs the required updates for that specific application.

If you have configured DCR Master-Slave setup, you must install this update in all of the CiscoWorks servers.

The Common Services Service Pack versions must be same in all of the DCR Master-Slave setup machines.

You must have a minimum free space of 800 MB on your hard disk to install this update.

If you do not have any of the applications at the LMS 3.0 level, the installation will terminate with an error message.
