Local Database

When you first install the NAM Traffic Analyzer, you use the NAM command-line interface (CLI) to enable the HTTP server and establish a username and password to access the NAM for the first time.

After setting up the initial user accounts, you can create additional accounts, enabling or disabling different levels of access independently for each user.

Table 5-8provides information about User Privileges and describes each privilege.

Table 5-8	User Privileges

SystemConfig		Enables a user to edit basic NAM system parameters such as IP address,
		gateway, HTTP port, and so on.

		Use the NAM Traffic Analyzer protocol decode.
AlarmConfig		Enables a user to create, delete, and edit alarms on the switch/router and
		NAM.
