It sounds like you didn't have it setup properly. If you have the most
recent version (Cisco Campus 2000 3.x), and have the devices properly
loaded in RME *with* the login creditials correctly set for
all fields (not just SNMP communities, but also passwords and TACACS
creditials if you are using them), it works amazingly well.
We have updated images on 150+ Cat29nnXL switches in under half an hour,
and uploaded configuration fragments (such as setting access lists on
telnet/SNMP) in half that time using CWSI.
It can only work as well as the data you supply it. While it does a
good job of autodiscovery and topology, you do at some point have to
supply telnet/TACACS information to let it directly manipulate the
images.
I love the product, although I did have some bad experiences before
getting everything "right" with RME. Don't give up yet.
