Cisco公司现在受到许多用户的抱怨,因为Cisco忽略了他们将Novell的NDS集成到网络硬件中的要求。虽然Cisco与微软在今年春天已经签署了一份协议,决定要和微软还未出版的Active Directory合作。但是,Novell和Cisco将不会有这种合作关系,甚至不会为NDS制定一个限定性说明。用户认为Cisco正在疏远一个巨大的已安装的基础群体:他们正使用NDS,并拥有上百个交换机和路由器。通过将目录与网络硬件相连,网络管理者可以统一设置路由器,并根据用户而不是IP地址来制定管理策略。在今年年初与微软的Active Directory技术合作时,Cisco就感到了困难,因为要用明年的Windows NT 5.0来支持他们即将发行的CNS(Cisco Network Server)软件,
Cisco is now complaining to many users because Cisco overlooked their requirement to integrate Novell’s NDS into network hardware. Although Cisco and Microsoft signed an agreement this spring, they decided to cooperate with Microsoft’s unpublished Active Directory. However, Novell and Cisco will not have such a partnership and will not even create a restrictive description for NDS. Users believe that Cisco is alienating a huge installed base group: They are using NDS and have hundreds of switches and routers. By connecting the directory with the network hardware, network administrators can set routers in a unified manner and formulate management policies based on users instead of IP addresses. When working with Microsoft’s Active Directory technology early this year, Cisco was struggling because it would use next year’s Windows NT 5.0 to support their upcoming CNS (Cisco Network Server) software.
