Network Analysis Module (WS-SVC-NAM-2)
The NAM monitors and analyzes network traffic for the Cisco 7600 series routers using remote
monitoring (RMON), RMON extensions for switched networks (SMON), and other management
information bases (MIBs). The NAM supports the following RMON groups:
• RMON groups defined in RFC 1757
• RMON2 groups defined in RFC 2021
The NAM also can monitor individual Ethernet VLANs, which allows it to serve as an extension to the
basic RMON support provided by the supervisor engine.
You can use any other IETF-compliant RMON application to access link, host, protocol, and
response-time statistics for capacity planning, departmental accounting, and real-time application
protocol monitoring. You also can use filters and capture buffers to troubleshoot the network.
The NAM can analyze Ethernet VLAN traffic from one or both of the following sources:
• Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, trunk port, or Fast EtherChannel SPAN or RSPAN source
port
For more information about SPAN and RSPAN, refer to the “Configuring SPAN and RSPAN”
chapter in the Cisco 7600 Series Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide .
Note Cisco IOS software currently does not support RSPAN.
• Netflow Data Export (NDE)
For more information about NDE, refer to the Cisco 7600 Series Cisco IOS Software Configuration
Guide .
The NAM-2 module has 1 GB of RAM and a 128 MB capture buffer.
The front panel LEDs are shown in Figure 6-2 and described in Table 6-2.
