Cisco Cisco Prime Assurance Manager 1.1 Installationsanleitung

To collect traffic of interest, use commands like the following:

access-list 100 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.1 eq 80

class-map match-any mace-traffic

match access-group 100

To configure a PA policy map and forward the PA traffic to the correct monitor:

policy-map type mace mace_global

class mace-traffic

flow monitor mace-monitor

!

Finally, enable PA on the WAN interface:

interface Serial0/0/0

mace enable

To ensure that Cisco Prime Assurance Manager can query SNMP devices and receive traps and notifications from them, you 
must:

Set SNMP credentials (community strings) on each device you want to manage using Cisco Prime Assurance Manager.

Configure these same devices to send SNMP notifications to the Cisco Prime Assurance Manager server.

Use the following IOS configuration commands to set read/write and read-only community strings on an SNMP device:

snmp-server community private RW

snmp-server community public RO

where 

and

 are the community strings you want to set. 

Once you have set the community strings, you can specify that device notifications should be sent as traps to the 
Cisco Prime Assurance Manager server, using the following IOS global configuration command on each SNMP device:

snmp-server host PAMHost traps version community notification-type

where:

s the IP address of the Cisco Prime Assurance Manager server.

is the version of SNMP that is used to send the traps. 

is the community string sent to the server with the notification operation.

 is the type of trap to send. You may need to control bandwidth usage and the amount of trap 

information being sent to Cisco Prime Assurance Manager server using this parameter.

You may need to control bandwidth usage and the amount of trap information being sent to Cisco Prime Assurance Manager 
server using additional commands. 

Note that the kind of SNMP information you can make use of in Prime AM depends on the MIBs installed on your devices. For 
example, if you want Prime AM to monitor the environmentTemperature variable on a device or group of devices, you must 
ensure that CISCO-ENVMON-MIB AND CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB are installed on these devices.

For more information on configuring SNMP, see the 

sections of the 

” section of the 

, and the 

Network Time Protocol synchronization must be configured on all devices and NAMs in your network, as well as on the Prime 
AM server. You are given a chance to specify the NTP server when you deploy the Prime AM OVA. You can also change the 
NTP server later, in the installed product, by selecting. Coordinating time stamps on your NAMs and other devices is a matter 
for your organization’s network designers. Failure to organize time synchronization across your network can result in 
anomalous results in Prime AM.
