Monitoring and Managing the Cisco 3825 Router

You can use Cisco’s network management applications, such as Cisco Mobile Wireless Transport Manager (MWTM), to monitor and manage the Cisco 3825 router. This Network Management tool provides monitor- ing and management capabilities to the RAN-O solution. The Cisco MWTM addresses the element-manage- ment requirements of mobile operators and provides fault, configuration, and troubleshooting capability. The Cisco MWTM provides the following key features:

Event Monitoring

Web-Based Reporting

Auto Discovery and Topology

Inventory

OSS Integration

Security

Client/Server Architecture

Multiple OS Support

The Cisco MWTM integrates with any SNMP-based monitoring system, such as Cisco Info Center products. In addition, the Cisco MWTM collects a large amount of performance data that can be exported or directly accessed from the database. This data can then be used by performance reporting applications.

Additional information can be found in the following publications of the Cisco MWTM documentation set:

Enabling the Cisco 3825 Router for Remote Network Management

To enable remote network management of the Cisco 3825 router, do the following:

Step 1 At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter the following command to access the configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 2 At the configuration prompt, enter the following command to assign a host name to each of the network management workstations:

Router(config)# ip host hostname ip_address

Where hostname is the name assigned to the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) workstation and ip_address is the address of the network management workstation.

Step 3 Enter the following commands to create a loopback interface for O&M (see the “Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces” section on page 4-8for more information):

Router(config)# interface loopback number

Router(config-if)#ip address ip_address subnet_mask
