Quick Start Guide for Cisco Prime LANManagement Solution 4 on a Windows System

About This Quick Start Guide

This document provides step-by-step instructions for installing and deploying the Cisco Prime

LAN Management

Solution (LMS) 4 Evaluation license on a Windows system to permit the use of the EZ Deploy templates for Cisco

Catalyst

2000 Series and Catalyst 3000 Series Switches. Cisco Prime LMS 4 along with the EZ Deploy templates

helps make the deployment of Cisco devices easier and more error proof, substantially reducing the time it takes to

get the devices operational.

This document is divided into two primary sections,InstallationandDeployment - Device Management. While this

document stands alone, if you are installing a Solaris version of the LMS 4 evaluation software or would like to

refer to the Installing and Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4 technical document, it can be

found atCisco.com.

The instructions in this Quick Start Guide apply to LMS 4.2.

Installation

The following are the steps to install Cisco Prime LMS 4 on a Windows operating system:

Checklist for installation:

Make sure that your system meets the requirements for LMS 4 (refer to Appendix A). LMS installation will

fail if the available swap and disk space do not meet the recommended requirements.

Close all applications before installing LMS.

By default, SSL is not enabled for the LMS server.

Disable any popup blockers on the client machine before launching the LMS 4 application.

If Terminal Server in Application mode is enabled, disable the Terminal Server, reboot the system, and start

the installation again. SeeTerminal Server Support for Windows Server section in the Installing and

Migrating to Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.1 technical document.

If Internet Information Services (IIS) is detected on your system and if you have continued the installation

with IIS services, port number 443 cannot be used for HTTPS. Instead, use port numbers ranging from

1026 to 65535 for HTTPS to avoid this conflict.

Disable Windows Defender on servers running Windows 2008 and reboot the system before installing

LMS 4. The installer will not copy the database to the appropriate location if Windows Defender is not

disabled.

Check the Primary and Active regional settings before installation. They must be set as either US English or

Japanese. Other options are not supported by LMS 4. The Active regional settings can be set in Control

Panel Regional and Language Options Regional Options. Restart your system after installing LMS 4 to avoid any system instability on a Windows operating system.

This completes the LMS 4 installation. The next step is to configure LMS for device management.

Deployment - Device Management

Step 1. For LMS to manage the device, configure a management IP address (for example 10.1.1.1).

Step 2. Connect to this device and configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community

strings:

snmp-server community RO

snmp-server community RW

Example:

snmp-server community private RO

snmp-server community public RW

Step 3. If you wish to use command-line interface (CLI)-based configuration (that is, Telnet or Secure Shell [SSH]

Protocol), configure either a vty password or authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) on the

device.

The next step is to manually add this device (10.1.1.1).
