of service. The end-to-end connection is automatically established without requiring configuration of the network on a switch-by-switch basis. In addition, each connection’s status can b e viewed from one endpoint to the other.
Connection management is one of the most challenging issues in ATM network management. ATM networks support so many connections that it can become impossible to administer and manage them. The Connection Service MIB provides integrated automated provisioning of connections based on quality of service parameters, such as the type of connection being made, available bandwidth, and the current s ta te of the netw ork .
The Conn ect io n Ser v ice MIB p rovi de s a standar d SNM P in ter fa ce for th e WAN ATM networ k a t t he service level. Service providers who are responsible for managing the entire shared network can use this interface to integrate with automated Operations Support Systems (OSS) provisioning systems, and also to provide Customer Network Management (CNM) views and control capabilities on a per-connection basis.
Network Browser
The Network Br owser applic ation pr ovides a hier ar chical r ep r e se n tation o f network in f or m ation in a table f orma t. Eac h n etwo rk ele ment mana ge d by C isc o WAN Manage r ( CWM) ha s i ts own attribute s a nd fits in the networks physical or log ical hi erarch y . In Rele ase 10 of CWM, the Netw ork Bro wser pr esents the network elements that are discovered, managed, and controlled in a hierarchical view for all networks populated in the network table by CWM processes.

The Secu rity Manag er ( SM ) ap pl ica tio n is a n ew Java- ba sed ap pl ication fo r Rel ease 10 of C W M t ha t provides controlled access to multiple users of CWM based on the unique user ID and password. You can use Security Management to provide individuals access privileges to perform specific tasks s uch as viewing topology or establishing and managing connections. Without the required access privileges, unauthorized users cannot perform any network management functions.
Wingz Report and Summary Report
CWM Statistics Reports are generated through a graphical reporting package based on the Informix Wingz Report application. CWM also provides node utilization reports not based on Wingz. These reports are obtained through the Summary Report application . B o th th e Wingz Report an d th e Summary Report applications provide a point-and-click graphical user interface to generate reports based on info rmat ion colle cte d by the Statis tics Ag ents. For eac h repor t, the user identifie s certain criteria, su ch as n et wo r k object, type of statist ics , g ra nu la ri ty, report i nt er val, an d gr ap h ica l f o rm at, dependin g o n th e R e p ort ap pl ication selected.

This feature enables you to save a snapshot of the entire network’s configurati on on CW M . I n a d isa s ter r ecovery scenar io , you can s e lectively rest ore a single node’s configuration, or restore the configuration of the entire network on a node by node basis. This feature significantly reduces time to recover in the unlikely event of a catastro phic failure. You can also use the Save and Restore feature to restore a previous configuration after making a series of incorrect or temporar y change s.
Network Configurator
The Network Configurator is a new Java-based application for Release 10 of CWM that enables users to add new no des, or modify or de lete e xisting nodes. It is also used to pro vide de scrip tor inf ormation , node name, and IP addre ss inform ati on for the nod es in yo ur ne twor k. The Network Config urator is start ed by entering run Configura tor <machine name> <login> <password> on a s h e ll ’s c ommand line, where Cisco WAN Manager Release 10 is installed. The Network Configurator main window appears, allowing the user to add, delete, and modify nodes.
CWM to CWM Communications
Release 10 of Cisco W AN Manager has been designed to enable multiple CWM workstations to manage a netwo r k with improved net wo r k s yn c h r on ization and scalabi lity. Due to th e size and growth of networks, it is faster to retrieve initial network information from another CWM workstation that is already running and synchronized with the network.
A new CWM feature now enables users to continue the provisioning of network data, even when communic ations be tween a Pri mary CWM and Sec ondary CWM ha v e been inter rupte d. If for an y reason the communications between CWM servers are interrupted, user data provisioning will be suspended on the Secondary CWM, but user data provisioning will continue on the Primary CWM. During that time, the prov ision ing of u ser da ta and mon itori ng of t he netw ork ar e not impa cted.

Network Topology

The CWM N et wo rk Topology ap pl ic ation is a J ava-bas ed ap p lic ati o n t h at i s l au nc he d f r om th e CWM desktop. The CWM topology subsystem has been updated in Release 10 of CWM to provide better modularity and greater scalability. New processes within the topology server handle different types of networ k d is c ove ry, an d individual clients h ave a direc t conn ection to th e to pology s erver fo r th e i r respe ct ive topolo gi es.
Release 10 of CWM has the additional benefit of easy access features that have been streamlined into the Netw ork Topology, resulting i n a m o r e a ccessible an d c onvenien t w ay t o navi gat e, di sc over a nd displa y t he netw or k .

Connection Manager

This chapter describes the CWM Connection Manager (CM) desktop application. You use the Connect ion Mana ger to cr eate a nd main tain en d-to- end conn ection s, Perma nent V i rtua l Circui ts (PVCs ), or Soft Permanent Virtual Circuits (SPVCs). A connection consists of a source (localEnd), a destination (remoteEnd) and a set of connection parameters required for the routing.

Connection Manager Overvi ew

You can have up to four Connection Manager windows per CWM desktop session running on your workstation at any one time (though only one can be st arted from the C WM Desktop; the ot hers must be start ed from a Conn ection Ma nager w i n dow ’s File menu).
The Secu rity Management feat ure, in w h ich each C W M u ser h as t he ir ow n acce s s p ro file, is used t o determin e whethe r you hav e the rights to use eac h option in the CWM Conn ectio n Manager. The security mapping for CWM Connection Manager is:
If you have Read Permission you can list connections.
CHAPTER

If you have Create Permission, you can add new connections and perform diagnostics. In addition,
you have Read Permission privileges.
If you ha ve Modif y Permis sion, you can modif y connect ions. In additi on, yo u have Read Permiss ion
privileges.
If you have Delete Permission, you can delete connections. In addition, you have Read Permission
privileges.
