Chapter 1 What Is Network Assistant?
If a community member fails, Network Assistant can continue to manage the other members. If a
cluster command device fails, Network Assistant cannot manage the other members of the cluster
unless a cluster standby device has been configured.
Communities have fewer restrictions than clusters about where members are located and how they
are connected to each other. For more information on cluster member restrictions, see the online
help.
If candidate devices do not have CDP enabled, you can still create a community and manually add
the devices. Clusters cannot be created unless CDP is enabled on all the candidate devices.
Network Assistant features include front panel and topology views of device groups. See Chapter 2,
“Network Assistant Features, for more information.
For information on setting up communities, see Chapter 4, “Planning and Creating Communities.
For information on setting up device clusters, see Chapter 4, “Planning and Creating Clusters” of the
Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant document, version 1.0.
