Cisco Prime LAN Management (discontinued)

LAN Management Solution (LMS) from Cisco is what we use in our organization. Our devices’ approachable health and allow for remote connectivity monitoring. On the dashboard, we can see a quick overview of devices, performance data, and various incidents in the system. We used the dashboard to keep tabs on the health of our machines. Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution can monitor our device and network action to create bulk configurations for multiple devices. It scans and manages network equipment in data centers, offices, ROBOs, factories, and ships. Easy to set up and use. Access to pre-existing solutions. It is a big plus.

Cisco Prime [LAN Management Solution] is a infrastructure monitoring and managing solution which was shipped as part of infrastructure purchase package to our customer. Client was using this for their LAN fault and performance monitoring and also configuration management with some additional component purchased. It was primarily used for monitoring, management, reporting and alerting.

Cisco Prime is currently being used by our networking team to keep track of networking gear, to authenticate wireless users via 802.11x and to help troubleshoot network issues across our entire infrastructure. We also use it to store our wireless maps for surveys and to help desktop technicians diagnose and fix wireless issues across multiple locations.

Cisco Prime is the native tool that comes from Cisco along with Cisco LAN infrastructure. We have many customers who are using Cisco Prime as their core network fault and performance monitoring, wireless monitoring and LAN Management product. Being the native tool there is not much issues with the native infrastructure and hence customer prefer Cisco Prime if they have Cisco only infra in their environment.

We're using Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution in Brazil and on most part of our other sites/countries.
It's been used to manage and monitor all our network equipment (switches, routers, firewalls, wireless controllers, access points) from our Datacenters, offices, ROBO sites, manufacturing plants and vessels.
We use it mainly to monitor our equipment and connectivity health, but also to take configuration backups from the equipment and to 'bulk-configure' several devices at once.
The ability to have a general overview of the environment's health and to generate reports is a huge advantage.
It really helped us during IT auditing, to collect evidences and to apply required configurations with little effort.

We are using Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution in our network to monitor and manage all our LAN devices in our HQ and all our branches. We used it to keep tracking the reachability and health of our devices, including switches, routers, Wireless LAN controller with the Access points, and using its dashboard to keep looking to our devices and its health. Also, we can use it to make a bulk configuration on a single device or many devices at the same time.

We use it to monitor our wireless infrastructure/environment... including access points and WLCs.

We are utilizing Prime at all our remote offices on top of our current Cisco wireless architecture. We are utilizing WIPS for security and also take advantage of the Rogue access point detection functionality on a quarterly basis to help detect unauthorized access points.

Currently, we use Cisco Prime LAN Management across the whole organization. We deployed it in our HQ, and from there we manage all the LAN and remote location's sites. It's obvious that for us, having multiple sites in different countries, Cisco Prime gives us a huge advantage. We can deploy our configuration, monitor equipment, and generate reports in one single pane of glass. Regarding business aspects, we can save a lot of money on consulting services remotely, at the same time increasing performance solving issues and getting business online much faster.

We use Cisco Prime to monitor our wireless infrastructure, backup device configurations, provide wireless analysis and predictions. It assists us in preliminary wireless access point mounting locations to provide adequate wireless coverage.

[It's] Used primarily by the network infrastructure team for both wired and wireless solutions. We mainly use it for monthly reporting, wireless statistics, wireless deployment planning for a 4 building campus with 1000+ users. When we have a complaint of wireless coverage issues, we can quickly determine the APs involved, and adjust any settings necessary.

Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution is used in our organization to manage all the switches, router and access points we have. We have approximately 300 switches, 10 routers and almost 300 access points.
