Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The avenue of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.

We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:

• Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities,

product installation, or basic product configuration.

• Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably

impaired, but most business operations continue.

• Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects

of business operations. No workaround is available.

• Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations

will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.

Cisco EMF Software Features

Cisco EMF provides a flexible framework which supports a variety of EMs, making it possible to manage multiple device types within a given network on a single system. Common network management functionality provides for complete management of the logical and physical components of the network. Using a solid base, Cisco EMF provides vital core functionality which allows for optimal network management when combined with EMs. Features include the following:

• Map Viewer—Displays the contents of the managed device(s) and serves as the primary entry point

for the EM, allowing for enhanced object monitoring status for all network elements within the managed network

• Deployment templates—Provides object deployment prompts, increasing ease and consistency

• Auto Discovery—Allows for the automatic discovery of devices entering the network based on IP

and/or SNMP data

• Event Browser—Notifies the system of events (e.g., alarms) which occur on the managed network

and, in turn, notifies the network manager according to adjustable settings

• Object Group Manager—Enables you to organize managed objects which relate to one another into

groups

Chapter 1 Overview

• Performance manager—Presents performance statistics for monitored objects in a variety of formats

according to the criteria selected

• User Access Control—Administration tool allowing system administrators to manage application

privileges per user and user passwords

• Query Editor—Provides custom filtering capabilities which include or exclude certain information

from writing to the database and enables object group management

• Notification Profiles—Warns the user of system events according to defined environmental

occurrences through an audible or visual indicators (e.g., beep, display pop–up window), scripts (which, for example, sends an e–mail message), or event generation

• Thresholding Regimes—Defines a set of polling attributes and the polling period for monitoring,

which, when met, run the applicable notification profiles

• Event Groups—Organizes events by managed object(s) according to query settings

• Database Management—Maximizes the Resource Manager Essentials (RME) tool to manage

database backup and restoration

Note For further information on Cisco EMF and the tools it provides, see the Cisco Element Management

Framework User Guide Release 3.2 at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps829/products_user_guide_book09186a0 0800ffd02.html

Cisco EMF must be installed prior to installing EM software.

Chapter 1 Overview

EM Software Features

Installed with Cisco EMF, the EM allows for precise management of the device(s) it supports through custom GUI windows and modeling behavior. Invoked from the Cisco EMF Map Viewer application, the EM provides Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) windows on chassis, module, interface, and connection levels as applicable. These windows provide the features which compliment the Cisco EMF capabilities to provide for complete, efficient network management.

Specifically, the Cisco Access Router Manager supports related routers as well as various modules including ATM, ethernet, SONET, and IP modules. Element management capabilities for these items are provided in windows and wizards, eliminating the need for operators to have detailed Cisco IOS software and SNMP–based knowledge for individual interface or system parameter commands.

The following features highlight the capabilities of the EM:

• Framework—Based on Cisco EMF 3.2, which includes FCAPS management tools

• IOS Versions—See the corresponding release note document for specific versions supported

• Deployment and Discovery—Allows for manual or automatic deployment and discovery

–

Deployment—Supports manual deployment for generic objects, and pre–deployment of chassis objects using templates which provide faster deployment with fewer errors

EM Software Features

–

Auto Discovery—Discovers chassis and all submodules automatically within a given IP range, providing real–time information regarding the contents of the network

• Synchronization—Synchronizes the physical inventory model with managed NEs, providing

accurate, real–time information on what is deployed in the network

• Fault management—Provides status information, as well as fault detection, troubleshooting, and

repair tools

• Configuration—Provides base configuration for managed objects within the device, as well as:

–

Discovery—Allows for discovery of individual chassis and modules, or complete subchassis discovery

• Accounting—Provides real–time inventory information

• Performance—Supplies real–time performance–related statistics as well as capabilities to log

historical performance data for analysis

• Security—Provides capabilities to manage system security at the EM or device level

• Alarm Notification—Provides support of multiple traps, producing alarm notification per the

criteria established
