Introduction

Chapter 1

What Is in This Chapter

This chapter introduces the SPECTRUM management module for the Cisco Catalyst 5000/5500 Hubs. It describes the following:
¥ The Cisco Catalyst 5000/5500 Hubs ¥ SPECTRUM Model Type
- Accessing SPECTRUM Views
¥ SPECTRUM Views Roadmap

The Cisco Catalyst 5000/5500 Hubs

The Cisco Catalyst 5000 is a Þve slot chassis that provides Copper Distributed Data Interface/multilevel transmission (CDDI/MLT-3) and single/multimode Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) connectivity. The Cisco Catalyst provides bridging and routing capabilities in a Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN) environment. Its architecture supports switched connections to the following media:
¥ 10BaseT and 100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) ¥ 4/16 Mbps Token Ring ¥ Copper Distributed Data Interface/Fiber Distributed Data Interface ¥ Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
9032208 E4
The architecture for the 5000 also supports backbone connections for 100BaseT, CDDI/FDDI, and ATM.
1-1

SPECTRUM Model Type

The Catalyst 5500 is a 13 slot chassis that serves as a high-end switching platform. Depending on the modules installed, the Catlayst 5500 can be used in backbone applications as a scaleable Fast Ethernet or ATM switch. The Catalyst 5500 also supports switched Ethernet, Token Ring and ATM modules as well as existing Catalyst 5000 and LightStream 1010 modules.
The Catalyst 5500 does not have management support for LightStream
NOTE
boards. To manage these boards the Cisco Lightstream 1010 must be installed in slot number 13 of the Catalyst 5500 chassis.
SPECTRUM Model Type
SPECTRUM allows you to monitor and manage network devices such as hubs, routers, and switches through software models (see the AdministratorÕs Reference for Modeling Instructions) of these devices and their associated applications. The models you create reside in the SpectroSERVER database, where they are updated continually with information gathered by polling the actual devices.
Models are represented visually by icons that appear in various views in SpectroGRAPH. Icons representing devices provide at-a-glance, color-coded status information. Both device icons and application icons also provide mouse-click access to other views that contain detailed conÞguration and performance information.
SPECTRUM management modules are software packages that provide templates for creating software models of particular devices or families of devices. Management modules also include templates for modeling the applications supported by these devices. Each template, called a model type, speciÞes attributes that correspond to objects deÞned in the Management Information Bases (MIBs) that govern the operation of the device or application to be modeled.The model type names for the Cisco Catalyst 5000/ 5500 Hubs are:
¥ HubCat5000 ¥ HubCat5500
Refer to the How to Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM guide for modeling instructions.

Accessing SPECTRUM Views

Accessing SPECTRUM Views
Icons and Labels that display information within and icon provide access to SPECTRUM views. This is done through double-click zones (Figure 1-1), and Icon Subviews menu selections (Figure 1-2).
To access the Icon Subviews menu as shown in Figure 1-2, do the following:
1. Highlight the icon or label.
2. From the View menu, select Icon Subviews or click the applicable mouse button (middle or right). Refer to the Getting Started with SPECTRUM
for OperatorÕs guide for information on conÞguring your mouse.

What Is in This Chapter

This chapter describes the following Device views and subviews available for the Cisco Catalyst 5000/5500 Hubs:
¥ Interface Device View ¥ Chassis Device View
See Chapter 1, Introduction, for information on Accessing SPECTRUM Views.

Interface Device View

This section describes the Interface Options panel and the Interface icons displayed in the Interface Device view. This view provides dynamic conÞguration and performance information for each interface on this device. If the conÞguration changes, SPECTRUM modiÞes the Device view after the next polling cycle to reßect the new conÞguration. This view also provides a Device icon which allows you to monitor the deviceÕs operation and access other device-speciÞc views. Figure 2-1 shows an example of the Interface Device view.
