CWI Overview
The CWI is an application used to manage Cisco routers. CWI provides the following features:
•
A user-friendly context-sensitive interface that is used for fault, configuration, inventory, and security management of a
router.
•
A combination of both graphical and text-based interfaces that allow the user to select the best interface for the task at hand.
•
A powerful CWI feature set used to simplify managing the router scale and complexity.
•
Access to the powerful manageability features of the router.
The CWI provides three ways to configure and manage a router:
•
Using a Telnet/SSH session launched from the CWI, which allows you to configure and manage the router using CLI
commands.
•
Using the Configuration Editor or Replace Configuration Editor, which allows you to view and edit the running
configuration in CLI format. These editors provide common text editing functionality as well as traditional CLI features
such as help and command-completion. See the “Configuration Editor” section on page 22 and the “Replace Configuration
Editor” section on page 22.
•
Using the graphical configuration applications. See the “Configuration Desktop Window” section on page 20.
