, the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet, addresses the need for

multiservice network management and traffic monitoring in high-capacity switched Ethernet LANs

and routed WANs with a new generation of the Network Analysis Module (NAM) for Cisco

®

Catalyst

 6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers. The NAM is an integrated and

powerful traffic monitoring service module that occupies a single slot in the chassis and enables

network managers to gain application-level visibility into network traffic with the ultimate goal of

improving performance, reducing failures, and maximizing returns on network investments.

The second-generation NAMs are available in two hardware versions, NAM-1 and NAM-2, and

offer high performance monitoring and crossbar (fabric) connectivity to meet diverse network

analysis needs in scalable switching and routing environments running at gigabit speeds. The NAMs

come with an embedded, Web-based traffic analyzer, which provides full-scale remote monitoring

and troubleshooting capabilities that are accessible through a Web browser.
