Cisco Network Analysis Module Software 3.6
PB400472
Cisco
®
Network Analysis Module (NAM) is a powerful network-aware monitoring solution that delivers
unparalleled insight into network and application performance. It shows you how the network is being used
and how users experience the services the network offers to help you ensure the consistent and efficient
delivery of applications and services. Because Cisco NAM provides visibility for comprehensive
performance analysis and simplified troubleshooting, it is ideally suited for today’s dynamic, evolving
enterprises.
The innovative design of Cisco NAM combines a rich set of embedded data collection and analysis capabilities with
a remotely accessible, web-based management console, all of which reside on a single blade that is installed into
Cisco Catalyst

6500 Series Switches, Cisco 7600 Series Routers, Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs)
Generation 2 or first-generation Cisco ISRs. Cisco NAM includes the embedded web-based Traffic Analyzer console,
which offers quick access to configuration menus and presents easy-to-read performance reports on web, voice, and
video traffic.
Table 1 lists the key features of the Cisco NAM.

Web-based captures for deep,
insightful data analysis
insightful data analysis
Captures the packets to help resolve acute problems before they affect users. Captures can be performed using a
web browser from any desktop, and the decodes can be viewed through the Traffic Analyzer GUI while the data is
still being captured. Extensive capture features, including trigger-based captures, decodes, filters, and a capture
analysis toolset, help to quickly pinpoint and resolve problem areas.
