Configuring Network Assistant in Community or Cluster Mode
This section provides a detailed explanation of the CLI used to configure Network Assistant to work in
a community or cluster. Network Assistant communicates with a Catalyst 4500 series switch by sending
Cisco IOS commands over an HTTP (or HTTPS) connection.
The following topics are discussed:
• Configuring Network Assistant in on a Networked Switch in Community Mode, page 9-15
• Configuring Network Assistant in a Networked Switch in Cluster Mode, page 9-18
