Monitor switch clusters with CiscoWorks

[rleutz]

Is there a way to monitor/conigure switch clusters using CiscoWorks when they are set up with just 1 IP address? I have set up CiscoWorks 2000 LAN Management Solution and everything works just fine up to the access-layer but user tracking and other campus manager plugins do not work with the switch clusters. It would be nice to have the best of both worlds where I can manage the switches through the Cluster Management Suite and with CiscoWorks but not have to assign an IP address to 300+ 2924XLs.

Thanks in advance,

The quick answer to your question is, No. In order to manage your XL switches via Campus Manager/CW2000, each device must have it's own unique ip address assigned. In the Campus Manager docs it's already documented: 'Clustered devices not assigned an IP address are not currently supported'.
