Cisco SNMS 1.5.1 Minor Update for Existing SNMS 1.x Customers

Minor update kit for existing CiscoWorks SNMS 1.x customers. Windows Server 2003 (Standard and Enterprise Editions) supported CiscoWorks SNMS introduces network administrators to the functions of CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials (RME) along with the multiple-vendor device monitoring and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management features of WhatsUp Gold (network-management software from Ipswitch). As growth of the customer's network continues, CiscoWorks SNMS provides a cost-effective solution that can be easily installed and used today while providing a transition path to the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS).
