Cisco Multicast Manager 3.1
PB595356
Product Overview
Cisco
®
Multicast Manager 3.1 simplifies discovery, visualization, monitoring, management, and troubleshooting of
multicast networks to help ensure the availability of mission-critical services delivered over multicast. The video
operations solution (VOS) add-on feature provides monitoring support for video probes to proactively detect
poor-quality video that is being transported across an IP multicast infrastructure. The Multicast VPN (MVPN) add-on
feature gives customers the ability to manage their Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF) tables by monitoring the service
provider edge routers along with presenting on-demand views of the MVPN environment by provider edge router or
VRF table.
Cisco Multicast Manager is also part of the Cisco
®
Video Assurance Management Solution (VAMS), which provides a
flexible end-to-end assurance management platform for video.
New Features
New features in version 3.1 include:
●
Configurable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap Descriptor: For SNMP traps
originated by Cisco Multicast Manager, the user now has the ability to populate two free-format trap
description fields that are included in the trap as variable bindings.
●
Service Description in SNMP Traps: SNMP traps originated by Cisco Multicast Manager will now have a
service description for source and group (SG) for easy identification of the stream. The service description is
obtained from the address management database in Cisco Multicast Manager.
●
Video Monitoring (VidMon) Support: Support is provided for the new VidMon family of metrics on the Cisco
ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers and the Cisco 7600 Series Routers. VidMon provides inline
video monitoring of MPEG2 transport streams and uncompressed video.
●
Explicit User Tracking: This feature identifies the multicast receivers connected to Catalyst
®
6500 Series
Switches or 7600 Series Routers. Rate information is also displayed for each receiver.
●
Identification of Down Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Interfaces: If a multicast trace performed by
Cisco Multicast Manager fails due to one or more PIM interfaces being down, this feature allows the user to
quickly identify the PIM interfaces that are down.
●
Time-Based SG Polling: Support is added to limit polling of specific multicast flows (identified by source and
group) to a defined time range for selected days of the week.
●
SG Delta Trap Change: Information provided in the SG delta trap has been expanded to include information
about the router reporting the high or low deviation in measured packets per second rate of the multicast flow.
This information helps identify the affected router.
●
Tree Polling: Previously Cisco Multicast Manager would only compare the most recently polled tree against a
defined baseline tree. This release adds the option to compare the most recently polled tree against the
previously polled tree. With this option selected Cisco Multicast Manager notifies users of any tree change
that occurs compared to the previous tree state.
●
Configurable Login Message: An option is provided to display a message to users at the time of login. The
content of the message is administrator configurable.
