What is the first step of learning ciscoworks2000?

[jackfrid]

Which books I have to read, or which websites I have to visit? I'm a beginner.
Thank you for your advice!

Well, I just began, too. A very good procedure is reading the needed tutorials in the order which is given by these ones. [got a tutorial cd].

terrible i find that there is no good user forum in the net like the itrc for HPOV NNM.

I always have questions, important ones, and no one here gives an answer. that pretty bad.

but first try the tuts

The best way to begin to understand you're aims/goals....Ciscoworks is an element manager. It MANAGES cisco equipment only. HP Openview for instance is a Network Manager and as such manages the general network without being specific to any vendor. In the case of cisco they provide What's Up Gold which is a shareware snmp package (old name SNMPc) which has a basic ip discover demon and then maps it. So the questions one should ask....I have a cisco network and I wants to : Real Time Monitor the network for failures; configure the routers; get statistics for throughput; backup my router configs...etc Since management is such a broad topic you are going to have tobe more specific...initially though you will want to start with network management (either SNMPc or Openview) and start from there, this will give you a better understanding of what you are trying to achieve before jumping n the deep end with both feet....
