Features and Benefits

Cisco AXP – nGenius Integrated Agent provides the following benefits:

●

Lowers the cost of monitoring the branch office by reducing both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating

expenses (OpEx)

●

Reduces the hardware footprint by consolidating the nGenius probe solution inside the ISR

●

Provides a unified view of the global network and consistent manageability to help ensure end-user

experience in branch offices and across the enterprise

●

Speeds local troubleshooting in order to minimize the effect of network and application performance

degradations on branch-office environments

●

Optimizes the service-delivery infrastructure to gain better performance and usage in branch-office locations

●

Provides an efficient means of adding service-assurance capabilities to Cisco ISRs using a simplified, single-

package installation

Cisco AXP – nGenius Integrated Agent provides following features:

●

Application recognition and monitoring

●

On-demand short-term packet capture and troubleshooting

●

Response-time analysis and critical performance indicators including packet loss, interpacket delay, client

and server errors, and timeouts

●

Centralized application deployment and management using Cisco AXP and Cisco Services Ready-Engine

(SRE) infrastructure

●

Convergence management including volume, usage, host, and conversation details for Real-Time Transfer

Protocol (RTP) Voice and RTP Video protocols

●

Alarming and event identification: Defines alarms for link usage, application usage, application response

time, application availability, and burst alarms at milliseconds resolution

Integration with Cisco Integrated Services Routers

The nGenius Integrated Agent software can be seamlessly deployed within Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series Integrated

Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) using Cisco AXP. This solution is also supported on the Cisco 2800 and

3800 Series ISRs. Cisco AXP provides the processing and network traffic interface capabilities using its own

dedicated processor, hard disk, network interfaces, and memory, all of which operate independently of the host

router resources. This independence helps ensure maximum concurrent routing and application performance while

reducing physical footprint, lowering power consumption, and consolidating management. Using Cisco ISR and AXP

infrastructure, nGenius Integrated Agent software can be installed locally or remotely. With this high degree of

flexibility, IT organizations can quickly deploy extended monitoring to virtually any branch office location.

Figure 2 shows how the Cisco AXP – nGenius Integrated Agent is integrated with Cisco ISRs. As the figure

illustrates, nGenius Integrated Agent runs in a virtual application instance on the AXP module within the Cisco ISR

and uses the Cisco packet API to collect and process network traffic on both the router backplane and an external

Gigabit Ethernet interface. Typically, the router backplane interface is used to monitor the traffic destined for the

WAN, while the external Gigabit Ethernet interface is used to SPAN switches on the branch LAN for local traffic
