Network Management Challenges

• Too much complexityNew devices, technologies, constant growth and change

• No actionable intelligence Too much data, not enough information

• No contextHow do problems in one device impact other related devices?

• High maintenance/TCOToo many resources dedicated to customization or rules maintenance

• Must do more with lessNeed more automation and better ROI


Solution: Cisco NCC Network Connectivity Monitor

• Automates network connectivity analysis for multivendor networks

• Automates impact analysis of device or network failures on other network elements

• Integrates with CiscoWorks and third-party management tools

• Includes event import and notification adapters

• Focuses on users takingcorrective action

• Supports ongoing networkgrowth

• Base component ofCisco NetworkConnectivity Center

Notifications


Network and Connectivity Analysis

• Auto-discovers and models network entities and their relationships.

• Distinguishes root cause problems from their symptoms.

• Calculates the impact of problems in a device or link on related devices.

• Updates its analysis automatically as the network changes


Integration with Existing Management Tools

• Consolidates analysis results with events and analysis from CiscoWorks DFM, LMS, and ITEM

• Works with third-party tools you have in place today

Adds value to existing solutions

Protects management investments

Multivendor EventManagement Systems


Event Reception and Notification Adapters

• SNMP Trap Adapter (Notifier)Forwards notifications via SNMP trap

• Email Adapter (Notifier)Forwards notifications via email.

• Script Adapter (Notifier) Invokes a user-supplied custom script to take action in response to notifications

• Log Adapter (Notifier)Saves notifications to a log file

• SNMP Trap Adapter (Receiver)Collects and parses SNMP traps

• Syslog Adapter (Receiver) Tails or parses the contents of system log files


Focus on Corrective Action

• Cisco NCC Global and Web Consoles

Display events, connectivity analysis problems and impacts

Filter, sort and prioritize problem notifications

Show interactive dialogs to acknowledge problems, assign ownership and invoke actions

Audit trails of all activities related to an event

Component views including notification lists, notification details, summaries, maps, and consolidated status can be configured to create custom displays

Drill-down from the global view to detailed fault information maintained by underlying domain managers


Supports Network Growth

• Leading-edge networking technologies

SNMPv3, HSRP

• New networking devices

Regular incremental device support for new devices from Cisco and other vendors

Incremental device updates available through the Cisco Software Center on Cisco.com

No rules-writing required


NCM Benefit Summary

• Faster implementation

Roll out new services faster

• Shorter MTTRMaintain maximum network and system availability

• No rules-writing or maintenance

Reduce TCO, increase ROI

• Multivendor fault management

Supports all brands of devices

• Works with the existing management environment

Integrates with the leading management tools and systems

• Immediate value

Easy to install, works out-of-the-box
