Announcing End of Support

for

Cisco Systems discontinued the sale of its Cisco TrafficDirector application when the Cisco

nGenius Real-Time Monitor (RTM), the CiscoWorks replacement for Cisco TrafficDirector,

was introduced in early 2001.Cisco is now announcing that March 31, 2003 is the

end-of-support date for Cisco TrafficDirector. Cisco will continue to provide Cisco

TrafficDirector customers that have active Cisco Software Application Support (SAS)

contracts with bug fixes, technical assistance, and Cisco.com support through March 31,

2003.

Cisco nGenius RTM, the Cisco replacement for Cisco TrafficDirector, is a Web-based,

real-time performance monitoring, fault isolation and troubleshooting tool. In addition to its

multiuser, Web-server architecture, it includes two key applications: the Cisco nGenius Traffic

Monitor and the Cisco nGenius Packet Analyzer. Both applications are integrated in the Cisco

nGenius graphical user interface (GUI) and can be launched by IT and network managers to

perform specific network monitoring and troubleshooting tasks. The RTM client-server-based

architecture, improved usability and scalability, new features supporting Cisco AVVID

(Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data), and comprehensive Catalyst switch

support for mini-Remote Monitoring (RMON) users offer Cisco TrafficDirector customers a

powerful, unified tool to simplify and exercise control over the management of their networks.

Cisco is offering RTM version 1.4, the most current version of RTM, in CiscoWorks LAN

Management Solution 2.2.
