Functional Description

Cisco PTC oversees the entire network. It is a network management tool that provides a GUI for the initial and ongoing support for configuring Cisco Voice over IP (VoIP) networks, comprising PGW 2200 elements, H.323 gateways, and gatekeeper devices.

Cisco PTC is fully integrated with the Cisco VRC application. Cisco VRC provisions the dial plan related functionality of the H.323 VoIP network elements (gateways and gatekeepers).

The Cisco MGC Node Manager (CMNM), built upon the Cisco Element Management Framework (CEMF), integrates the management interfaces and management functionality of the PGW 2200 components into one comprehensive human interface and data repository. CMNM provides an integrated management application for fault, configuration, performance, and security of the PGW 2200 node elements. CiscoView is integrated into the CMNM application as a monitoring and provisioning tool for PGW 2200 network elements.

The VSPT provides a GUI for bulk provisioning the PGW 2200.

The Cisco CNS Intelligence Engine is a network management device that acts as a configuration service for automating the deployment and management of network devices and services. The Cisco CNS IE2100 Series is the hardware platform for the Cisco CNS Configuration Registrar application.

Interconnection/Interoperability

This chapter of the Cisco VoIP: Infrastructure Manager Solution specifically details the configuration and provisioning management components of the Solution. These applications are intended to operate in conjunction with applications that deal with fault and performance processing. There are several points of interconnection between the function-specific applications.
