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 ISR, 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 ISR. The new ISRs continue a tradition of broad and deep manageability features within the
devices. Features such as Cisco IOS IP Service-Level Agreements (IP SLAs), Cisco IOS Embedded Event
Manager (EEM), and NetFlow allow you to know what is going on in your network at all times. These features
along with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and syslog support enable your organization’s
management applications.
Refer to Tables 4 through 6 for details about Cisco IOS software feature and protocol support, Cisco IOS software
management capabilities, and Cisco Network Management applications for Cisco 1905 Integrated Services
Routers.

Description of Feature Supported by Cisco Integrated Services Routers
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 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 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 1900 Series ISRs also support SNMP, Remote Monitoring (RMON), syslog, NetFlow, and TR-069 in addition to
the embedded management features previously mentioned.
