Product Functions 

EPN Manager includes the following functions that work together transparently as one product: 

● 

Device and resource discovery 

● 

Device health monitoring, including fault and performance metrics 

● 

Device configuration and activation 

● 

Point-and-click provisioning for Carrier Ethernet, optical transport and service provider Wi-Fi 

● 

Multilayer views 

● 

Service intent and network reconciliation 

● 

Event and fault management for optical transport circuits, Ethernet virtual connections (EVC), and 

service provider Wi-Fi, including event correlation 

● 

Proactive network health monitoring, including network-level alarms, threshold crossing alerts 

(TCAs), metric gathering, and performance reporting 

● 

Unified menu that converges optical, Carrier Ethernet, wireless and wired capabilities to provide a 

single, intuitive structure for accessing tasks and operations 

● 

Contextual dashboards and 360-degree user and device views that display only the most relevant 

information for fast and efficient troubleshooting and remediation 

Multidomain Networks 

EPN Manager supports optical transport, Carrier Ethernet, and service provider Wi-Fi. 

To consolidate management for converging packet and optical transport networks, EPN Manager provides 

similar workflows across optical and metro network scenarios. This approach increases operational 

efficiencies and reduces training costs. EPN Manager also supports a wide range of 

 solutions, including 

 Series routers and 

 routers for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, as well as 

 Series routers, supporting optical and transport networks (OTN). 

Turnkey, end-to-end lifecycle management is provided across device management, network provisioning, 

and network assurance. EPN Manager simplifies management of Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) Carrier 

Ethernet 2.0 services, delivering a single product experience and similar workflows across lifecycle tasks. It 

also supports a comprehensive service provider portfolio of access, edge, and core platforms, including the 

 Aggregation Services Routers, Cisco aggregation 

switches, and Cisco Ethernet access switches.
