Applications

Visibility throughout the Infrastructure

As an integrated services module, Cisco NAM uses a rich set of Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and

Cisco 7600 Series Router features to collect both LAN and WAN traffic for analysis. Using the

Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) feature, Cisco NAM can monitor traffic from physical ports, virtual

LANs (VLANs), or Cisco EtherChannel

connections of the local switch or router. Using VLAN

access control list (VACL)–based captures, traffic can be filtered before it is sent to Cisco NAM to

support the selective monitoring of large amounts of traffic or the gathering of traffic from WAN

interfaces. In addition, Cisco NAM can consume NetFlow Data Export (NDE) from local and

remote devices to provide both real-time and historical traffic usage data. Cisco NAM can also use

the Remote SPAN (RSPAN) or Encapsulated Remote SPAN (ERSPAN) features of the devices to

extend troubleshooting to remote parts of the network. By supporting these Catalyst 6500 Series

and Cisco 7600 Series features, Cisco NAM offers you more ways to see and understand what’s

happening on your network.

Easy to Deploy and Use

Cisco NAM includes an embedded, web-based Traffic Analyzer GUI (Figure 2) that can be

accessed from any desktop, eliminating the need to send personnel to remote sites or haul large

amounts of data to the central site. It delivers a complete view of network and application

performance, providing essential information on voice, video, and data traffic, VLANs,

Differentiated Services (DiffServ) configurations, hosts, conversation pairs, application usage, and

application response time. To enhance security, role-based access can be assigned and web-

browser access can be secured with up to 168-bit encryption.
