More Medianet Benefits
A medianet reduces total cost of ownership and scales video through features such as auto-configuration and
media monitoring. At the same time, it helps to ensure a quality user experience while optimizing bandwidth use
and efficiency.

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.

Description
Cisco IOS Web
Services Management
Agent (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.
Cisco IOS Embedded
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,
