Description

 

 

 

WSMA

 

The Web Services Management Agent (WSMA) defines a mechanism through which you can manage a network

 

 

device, retrieve configuration data information, and upload and manipulate new configuration data. WSMA uses XML-

 

 

based data encoding that is transported by the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for the configuration data and

 

 

protocol messages.

 

 

 

EEM

 

Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a distributed and customized approach to event detection and

 

 

recovery offered directly in a Cisco IOS Software device. It offers the ability to monitor events and take informational,

 

 

 

 

corrective, or any desired EEM action when the monitored events occur or when a threshold is reached.

 

 

 

IPSLA

 

Cisco IOS IP Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) enable you to assure new business-critical IP applications, as well as

 

 

IP services that use data, voice, and video in an IP network.

 

 

SNMP, RMON, Syslog,

Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services Routers also support SNMP, Remote Monitoring (RMON), syslog, NetFlow,

NetFlow, and TR-069

and TR-069 in addition to the embedded management features previously mentioned.

 

 

 

The Cisco network management applications listed in Table 6 are standalone products that you can download or purchase to manage your Cisco network devices. The applications are built specifically for the different operational phases; you can select the ones that best fit your needs.
