Network Analysis Module (NAM) team is pleased to introduce Cisco Network Analysis Module
Software 5.0, a major software release that offers new and enhanced capabilities that allow network

one-click packet captures. It also comes with a set of features such as packet- and flow-based analytics,

NAM Install/Upgrade
Q.
Would you summarize at a high level what I should do and the order I should do it in to make sure that
my upgrade will be successful?
A.
Check your NAM to make sure it meets the minimum system and browser requirements, and then follow the
procedure on upgrading NAM software as laid out in the Installation and Configuration Guides for your NAM
form factor. A link to download the NAM Installation and Configuration Guides for your form factor can be found
in the Appendix.
Q.
What are the minimum system requirements to support NAM Software 5.0?
A.
Please refer to the NAM 5.0 Release Notes under System Requirements on page 7. A link to download the NAM
5.0 Release Notes can be found in the Appendix.
Q.
What browsers are supported in NAM 5.0?
A.
NAM 5.0 has been tested with Internet Explorer 8.0 and Firefox 3.6. Please refer to the NAM 5.0 Release Notes
under Browser Requirements on page 11. A link to download the NAM 5.0 Release Notes can be found in the

Q.
Given that NAM 5.0 introduces a new embedded Performance Database and a new internal data schema,
can I upgrade from NAM 4.x, or is a fresh install required?
A.
It is recommended to do a fresh install with ‘upgrade <ftp-url> --install’ in the NAM console, removing all saved
reports and capture files. NAM 5.0 will perform better with a contiguous hard drive. Please refer to the NAM 5.0
