Cisco WAN Manager Overview
Cisco W AN Manager (CWM), a suite of W AN multiservice management applications, provides powerful
fault, configuration, and performance management functionality for WAN multiservice switches. CWM
also provid e s r o bust stat is t ics co llection, sto r in g th e i nf o rm ati on i n an In f orm i x SQ L d atabase a nd
allowing simple integration of this data into existing network management and operations systems.
Element and network management functions are provided by the CWM system, which can manage Cisco
BPX® 8600 and Cisco IGX ™ 8400 series wide-area switches, the Cisco BPX SES PNNI Controller, and
Cisco MGX™ 8220, Cisco MGX™ 8230, Cisco MGX™ 8250, and both Re lease 1 and Release 2 Cisco
MGX™ 8850 devices seamlessly. CWM provides open interfaces for higher level service management
systems.
The CWM d esk to p gr ap h ica l u ser i nt er fa ce ( G UI ) pr ovid es t he f ollow in g ap pl ica ti on s th at ar e fo u nd
under the Apps pull down menu of the CWM Topology Main Window:
• Conne ction Manager
• Network Browser
• Service Cl as s Template Man a g er
• Statistics Collection Manager
• Secur ity Ma nager
• Summary Report
• Wingz Report
• Cisco View
CWM provides these functions in an open management environment. CWM runs on Release 2.7 of
Solaris an d i ntegr at es w i th Release 6 .1 0 o f HP O pe nView.
CWM Release 10 Applications
Connecti on Ma nager
The Connection Manager provides the network manager the ability to add, modify, and delete end-to-end
connections. The Connection Manager provides a series of forms-based screens to add, modify, or delete
connections. You select the desired connection end-points and configure the connection type and class

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 network’s 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.
Chapter1 Cisco WAN Manager Overview
The Network Brow ser di splays the network elements in a hierarchical format b ased on either a physica l
or logical relationship amon g the vari ous network elements. Networks are displayed at the root level of
the component tree, and nodes and trunks are displayed beneath the networks in a parent/child
relatio nship.
The Net wo r k B r owser also displa ys infor mational m essages i n a mult i- li ne text display. Other ty p es o f
messages can be displayed in respo nse to u ser a ctions.
Service Class Templat e Mana ger
The Service Cl as s Template (SC T) app li cat io n is a new Java-base d ap pl ic ati on for Release 10 of CWM
that allows fo r cr eating SCT files wh ic h can t he n be lo aded to n o de s, an d can be ass o ci ate d wi th
interfaces on cards within these nodes. This application is launched from the CWM desktop and allows
users and ne tw or k oper at or s to co nfi gure AXSM, A XSM- E , a n d RPM c a rds, us i ng the S er vice Cl a ss
Template feature. Specifically, users or network operators are able to use the SCT application to create,
modify, delete, load, a nd associat e S C T fi les to A X SM cards and ports.
Statist ics Collect i on Ma nager
The Stati sti cs C o lle ction Ma na ge r (S C M ) fo r Re le as e 1 0 o f CWM is a new s ta nd al o ne co ll ect or t ha t
allows a se pa ra te S CM c ol lec ti on s erver in bot h i ns tal lation an d stat istics collection. Th is n ew feature

statistic collection policies for the network. Y ou can configure statistic collection policies such as which
statis tics to collect, and coll ection int erva l period s for a node, por t, or pri v ate vi rtual circ uit (PVC ). SCM
provides extensive error handling and logging capabilities that enable reliable collection of statistics for
performance or billing applications.
Securit y Manager
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
WingzReport 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,

Additional CWM Release 10 Applications and Features
Configu rat i on Save and Restore
The ConfigSave and Restore feature can be found under the Tools pull dow n m enu of t he CW M
Topology Main Window. 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. This is call ed th e Degrade d

Access to IGX, BPX, an d MGX N et w ork s
IGX, BPX, and MGX switches provide an Ethernet 802.3 AUI LAN interface to CWM for network
management control and information. An entire network can be managed through an Ethernet
connection on a single WAN switch or through multiple Ethernet interfaces distributed throughout the
networ k . Cisco WAN switches u s e T CP/IP ove r E th e r n et to co mmunicate b etween CW M netwo r k

Graceful Software an d Firm wa re Download and U pgrades
Softwa r e and F i r m ware d own loadin g of all op er a t ing sys t em and fir m wa re code is fu lly supported by
BPX, IGX, MGX, a nd CWM. Soft ware and f ir mware upg rade s are pe rfo rmed b y lo adin g ne w co de fro m
either a CWM workstation via TCP/IP, a new NPM module, or via dial in from Cisco’s Technical
Assistance Center (TAC). New software and firmware are downloaded throughout the network utilizing
inter-nodal trunks. New code is loaded into the standby NPM card for initiation at a specified time. This
new code can be upl oa ded to all othe r I G X s in - band t hr o ugh the ATM fabric con ne c ti ng the switch es .
Firmware upgrades for a spe ci fic fu nction module are performed by first loading the new firmware code
into the N P M . Th en a co m ma nd is issued t o burn the fu nction mo dule wi th the new firmwa re r evision.
This may take up to ten minutes, during which time the function module is out of service. Software
upgrades are conducted in background, and then activated network wide. The duration of a software
activation is 10 seconds per node on a rolling basis. Configuration translati on software is provided with
software upgrades to automatically migrate existing configuration information into new software
releases.
Simultaneous upgrades to multiple devices is supported via background loading of new c ode and
simultan eo u s s w it ch in g to th e n ew co de .
During all software and firmware upgrades the current configuration is retained. The conversion is
automati c a nd performed by the new software rel ease. If a software upgra de is faulty a single command
can retur n th e entire network to t he previou s ver si on s o f twa re and co n figu r at io n in ten se co nds.
