# Managing a Catalyst 5500 with an LS1010 PAM

An LS1010 Port OR Cat8510-CSR Adapter Module (PAM) can be added to ports 9 through 12 of a Catalyst 5500 switch, effectively making the 5500 into two devices with distinct IP addresses. To manage this LS1010 PAM, click the LS1010 icon in the CiscoView icon bar. The LS1010 Host IP Address dialog box appears. Enter the IP address of the LS1010 PAM, and you will be able to manage the LS1010 device, modules, and ports independently.

Note: While the Configure and Monitor menus at the top of the CiscoView window continue to refer to the Catalyst 5500, you can also access these menus for the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR PAM by holding down the right mouse button on the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR icon that appears to the left of the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR supervisor card (slot 13) in the CiscoView display.

To manage this LS1010/Cat8510-CSR PAM, click the MultiServiceSwitchRouter icon in the CiscoView icon bar. The LS1010/Cat8510-CSR Host IP Address dialog box appears. Enter the IP address of the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR, and you will then be able to manage the LS1010/Cat8510-CSR device, modules, and ports independently.

Ciscoview has the ability to store these associated embedded device IP Addresses, so that the next time (or every other time thereafter) that the user invokes this Cat5500, the embedded LS1010/Cat8510-CSR device will automatically be invoked in the composite view.

If the user desires not to show this embedded device in any particular session thereafter, he must invoke the "LS1010/Cat8510-CSR Host IP Address" dialog again and erase the IP-address from the text entry box, then click OK. Ciscoview will then show just the Cat5500 without the embedded device; this is the state CiscoView was in before you entered the embedded device IP Address the very first time.
