module enables on-demand provisioning of branch-office applications on the Cisco 2900 Series platforms so that
you can deploy the right application, at the right time, in the right place. The hardware and software decoupling
provided by the service-ready deployment model enables applications to be provisioned on the module at the time of
its installation or remotely anytime thereafter. Supported solutions include Cisco Wide Area Application Services
(WAAS), Cisco Unity Express, Cisco Application Extension Platform (AXP), Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC),
Cisco Video Surveillance, and other applications under development. The Service Ready Engine enables
organizations of various sizes to future-proof their network by allowing them to quickly deploy new branch-office
applications without deploying new hardware, reducing the cost of rolling out branch-office services.
Managing Your Integrated Services Routers
Network management applications are instrumental in lowering operating expenses (OpEx) while improving network
availability by simplifying and automating many of the day-to-day tasks associated with managing an end-to-end
network. Day-one device support provides immediate manageability support for the Integrated Services Router,
enabling quick and easy deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting from Cisco and third-party applications.
Organizations rely on Cisco, third-party, and in-house developed network management applications to achieve their
OpEx and productivity goals. Underpinning those applications are the embedded management features available in
every Integrated Services Router. The new Integrated Services Routers continue a tradition of broad and deep
manageability features such as IP service-level agreement (IP SLA), Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM),
and NetFlow which allow you to know the status of your network at all times. These features, along with Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and syslog, enable your organization’s management applications.

Series Integrated Services Routers.

Feature 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,
NetFlow, and TR-069
Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services Routers also support SNMP, Remote Monitoring (RMON), syslog, NetFlow, and TR-
069 in addition to the embedded management features previously mentioned.
