Fault Management
Cisco UGM provides device- and port-specific alarm frequency and severity
information. The fault management GUI supports point-and-click alarm
acknowledgement and clearing functions, and also enables trap forwarding. See
Chapter 8, “Managing Faults with Cisco UGM.”
With the Cisco EMF eventbrowser interface, you can consolidate alarm viewing
and filtering, and view alarms and events on a color-coded topology map. Fault
management functions include:
•Alarm monitoring
•Alarm filtering
•Alarm clearing
•Alarm acknowledgement
•Alarm archive and history
•Alarm-based performance threshold alerts
•Trap registration and forwarding of traps to remote SNMP managers
Performance Management
Cisco UGM collects performance information from each managed device and its
components. This information allows you to monitor the networkby viewing and
graphing performance data associated with an object. See Chapter 7, “Managing
the Performance of Cisco UGM-Controlled Devices.”
CiscoView also provides additional gateway statistics, including AAA statistics
and both active and historical call statistics that complement the statistics
provided by Cisco UGM. Cisco UGM can be used to launch CiscoView if it is
available in the managed network.
Security
Cisco UGM supports role-based access to its management functions. You can
define user groups and assign users to these groups. This function also supports
control of administrativestate variables for Cisco UGM resources. See Chapter 6,
“Managing Security on Cisco UGM.”
