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

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
