Chapter 3 Installing, Launching, and Connecting Network Assistant

Launching Network Assistant

3. Download the Network Assistant installer, and run it. (You can run it directly from the web if

your browser offers this choice.)

Network Assistant is free—there is no charge to download, install, or use it.

When you run the installer, follow the displayed instructions. In the final panel, click Finish to

complete the Network Assistant installation.

Launching Network Assistant

After Network Assistant is installed, you see its icon on your desktop, a Network Assistant entry under

Start > Programs, and a Network Assistant executable file in the installation directory. When you click

any of these, you see a partial Network Assistant GUI and the Connect window.

In disconnect mode, Network Assistant is not connected to a device or a community; it cannot manage

a standalone device, a community, or the command device of a cluster. Its menu bar and toolbar support

only the tasks that customize Network Assistant itself. The feature bar, which usually lists device

features, is empty.

Connecting Network Assistant to a Community or a Cluster

To connect Network Assistant to a device, use the Connect window shown in Figure 3-1. In it, enter the

IP address of the device to which you want to connect. For an existing community, select its name from

the pull-down menu. For an existing cluster, you select the IP address. Click Options if you want to

•Communicate with the device by using HTTPS (secure HTTP) instead of HTTP (clusters only).

Note Catalyst 4500 series switches do not support HTTPS. You must enable HTTP.

•Use an HTTP port other than 80 on the device (clusters only).

•Connect with read-only access.

For instructions on how to use the Connect to a new community option to create a community, see the

“Creating a Community” section on page 4-4. When you click Connect, you are either connected to the

community directly, or you are prompted for a username and password and then connected. When you

connect to a cluster, Network Assistant asks if you want to convert the cluster to a community. For more

information on converting a cluster to a community, see the “Converting a Cluster to a Community”

section on page 4-5.

Chapter 3 Installing, Launching, and Connecting Network Assistant

Connecting Network Assistant to a Community or a Cluster

When the connection occurs, the Network Assistant window is in connect mode. The toolbar adds icons

that represent device features. Similarly, the feature bar fills with menus that list the device features that

Network Assistant manages.

Access Modes in Network Assistant

When you select a community to manage, you can set the access mode and access level. If you do not

set the access mode before connecting to the community, Network Assistant applies the read-write

default access mode to all of the devices in the community.
