Catalyst
®
6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series Network Analysis Module (NAM) and
what does it do?
A.
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series NAM is an integrated traffic and performance analysis
blade that empowers network administrators to quickly understand how traffic over the network is being used
and how it is performing to troubleshoot performance issues and help ensure a consistent end-user experience.
Its unique design combines a rich set of embedded data collection and analysis capabilities with a remotely
accessible, web-based management console, all of which reside on a single blade that is installed into the Cisco
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch or the Cisco 7600 Series Router.
Cisco NAM with Software 5.1 include an embedded, intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) with
prepackaged reports, workflows, and contextual navigation to expedite problem resolution and optimization
decisions. It also includes a Performance Database that preserves historical data, allowing you to understand
what happened in the past when an event that affected network performance occurred. Additional information
about Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module 5 software is available

Cisco TelePresence Performance visibility
Manage performance of Cisco TelePresence sessions with accurate characterization of RTP streams
(codec H.264) using key performance indicators such as Packet Loss, Concealment Seconds (SoC),
Severe Concealment Seconds (SSC). Apply thresholds for proactively detect any degradation before

Comprehensive voice quality monitoring
and real-time troubleshooting
and real-time troubleshooting
Gather real-time reports on Mean Opinion Score (MOS) and other key performance indicators (KPIs)
such as jitter and packet loss to understand and improve how the end user experiences the delivery
of voice services. MOS is computed based on ITU-T Recommendations G.107 offering accurate
characterization of voice quality. Combine monitoring with real-time troubleshooting using pre-
packaged dashboards to improve the end-user service levels.

WAN optimized networks visibility
Obtain end-to-end proof points demonstrating how WAAS has improved application delivery (for
example, decreased application transaction times, improved WAN bandwidth utilization). Accelerate
the ROI for your investment by assessing the best site and application candidates for optimization as
part of the phased roll-out plan.

Historical analysis
Look back to the past with the embedded Performance Database to understand what happened when
an event that affects network performance occurred to accelerate root-cause analysis and prevent
any reoccurrence. Use historical analysis for advancing optimization and capacity decisions.

Deep, insightful packet captures
Solve complex performance issues with trigger-based captures, filters, decodes and Packet Capture
Error Scan features. Packet captures can be triggered based on performance thresholds allowing you
to focus on specific performance issues. Utilize 10G FCoE link to connect to your SAN to collect
extensive packet captures for offline analysis
