Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco 7600 Series NAM Specifications |
| NAM-1 hardware architecture | High-performance dual processor architecture offering sub-Gigabit Ethernet monitoring performance, 2 GB RAM, and a 250 GB SATA HDD, of which 125 GB is currently supported. Full capacity will be supported in a future release. Two data-collection interfaces to backplane (one for SPAN/VACL data sources, one for NetFlow) Second-generation fabric-enabled platform with interface to both bus- and crossbar-based architectures |
| NAM-2 hardware architecture | Extra high-performance dual processor architecture with hardware-based packet acceleration offering up to Gigabit Ethernet monitoring performance, 2 GB RAM, and a 250 GB SATA HDD, of which 125 GB is currently supported Full capacity will be supported in a future release. Three data-collection interfaces to backplane (two for SPAN/VACL data sources, which can be used independently or together, and one for NetFlow) Second-generation fabric-enabled platform with interface to both bus- and crossbar-based architectures |
| Supported platforms | NAM-1 and NAM-2 can be deployed in a slot in Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 6000 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers (both bus- and crossbar [fabric]-based architectures); multiple NAMs can be placed in the same chassis Supported with Cisco IOS® Software or Cisco Catalyst Operating System |
| Supported topologies and data sources | LAN: SPAN, RSPAN, VACL-based captures, NetFlow (versions 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) WAN: NetFlow (versions 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) from local and remote devices, VACL-based captures for FlexWAN/Optical Service Module (OSM) interfaces (Cisco IOS Software only) |
| Supported interfaces | HTTP/HTTPS with embedded web-based Cisco NAM Traffic Analyzer Simple Network Management Protocol Version 1 (SNMPv1) and v2c, with standards-based applications |
| NAM Traffic Analyzer | Embedded in Cisco NAM Software 2.2 and later Web-based: Requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (minimum), Mozilla 1.7 (minimum), or Firefox 1.5 (minimum); supports both English and Japanese versions of browsers Supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security with up to 168-bit encryption Role-based user authorization and authentication locally or using TACACS+ Real-time and historical statistics (up to 100 days) on LAN and WAN traffic and network-based services |
| Cisco NAM Software 3.6 | Supports Cisco NAM-1 (part number WS-SVC-NAM-1) and Cisco NAM-2 (WS-SVC-NAM-2); does not support the first-generation NAM (WS-X6380-NAM). It also supports the Cisco Branch Routers Series NAM (NME-NAM). Supported with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(13)E (minimum) or Cisco Catalyst Operating System 7.3(1) (minimum) |
| MIBs | The Cisco NAMs are standards-compliant and support Remote Monitoring (RMON) and RMON2 MIBs, as well as several extensions. Major MIB groups supported in the Cisco NAMs are: • MIB-II (RFC 1213) – All groups except Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) and transmission • RMON (RFC 2819) • RMON2 (RFC 2021) • SMON (RFC 2613) – DatasourceCaps and smonStats • DSMON (RFC 3287) • HC-RMON (RFC 3273) • Application Response Time |
| Protocols | • Cisco NAM provides RMON2 statistics on hundreds of unique protocols, including those defined in RFC 2896, and several Cisco proprietary protocols. • Cisco NAM automatically detects unknown protocols. • Users have flexibility to customize the protocol directory by defining protocols on a single port or on a range of ports. • Protocols supported include (this list is not all-inclusive): • TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over IP including IPv6 • HTTP and HTTPS • Voice over IP (VoIP) including Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), Real time Protocol/Real Time Control Protocol (RTP/RTCP), Media Gateway control Protocol (MGCP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) • SigTran and Mobile IP protocols • Storage area network (SAN) protocols including Fibre Channel over TCP/IP • AppleTalk, DECnet, Novell, Microsoft • Database protocols, including Oracle and Sybase • Peer-to-peer protocols such as Gnutella, Fasttrack, and winmix • Bridge and router protocols • Cisco proprietary protocols • Unknown protocols by TCP/UDP ports, Remote Procedure Call (RPC) program numbers, and so on |
| Physical dimensions | Dimensions (H x W x D): 1.2 x 14.4 x 16 inches (3.0 x 35.6 x 40.6 centimeters); occupies one slot in the chassis |
| Operating environment | • Operating temperature: 32 to 104ºF (0 to 40ºC) • Nonoperating and storage temperature: -40 to 158ºF (-40 to 70ºC) • Operating relative humidity: 10% to 90% (noncondensing) • Nonoperating relative humidity: 5% to 95% (noncondensing) • Operating and nonoperating altitude: Sea level to 10,000 feet (3050 meters) |
| Approvals and compliance | • Regulatory: CE Marking (89/366/EEC and 73/23/EEC) • Safety: UL 1950; CSA-C22.2 No. 950, EN60950, IEC 60950 • EMC: FCC Part 15 (CFR 47) Class A, ICES-003 Class A, EN 55022 Class A, CISPR 22 Class A, AS/NZS CISPR 22 Class A, VCCI Class A, EN 55024, EN300 386, EN 50082-1, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3, EN 61000-6-1 |
