Figure 4. Cisco IDS Network Module
The Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM) addresses the need for multiservice network management and traffic monitoring in enterprise branch
offices. The Cisco 2600, Cisco 3660, and Cisco 3700 series NAM is an integrated traffic-monitoring network module that helps enable network
managers to gain application level visibility into network traffic with the ultimate goal of improving performance, reducing failures, and maximizing
return on network investments. The Cisco 2600, Cisco 3660, and Cisco 3700 series NAM expands the Cisco NAM solution currently available for
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers. Cisco NAMs give network managers visibility into all layers of network traffic
by providing application level Remote Monitoring (RMON) functions based on RMON2 and other advanced MIBs. They provide intelligence to
analyze traffic flows for applications, hosts, conversations, and network-based services such as QoS and VoIP. Cisco NAMs come with an
embedded, Web-based traffic analyzer, which provides full-scale RMON and troubleshooting capabilities that are accessible through a Web browser.
Multiflex Voice/WAN Interface Card and WIC Options
The Cisco 2600 Series WIC slots supports 20 interface cards with the introduction of the 1-port xDSL and 1- or 2-port analog modem WICs. The
Cisco 2600 Series of modular routers support both asymmetric DSL (ADSL) and the G.shdsl WICs. These offerings bring high-speed business-class
broadband service to the award-winning Cisco 2600 Series of multiservice routers. Now small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), enterprise
branch offices, and service provider-managed service users can take advantage of a highly flexible and scalable solution for data-only or voice and
data integration, with secure VPN options.
The single- and dual-port multiflex voice/WAN interface cards (VWICs) combine WIC and VIC functions to provide unparalleled flexibility,
versatility, and investment protection. Supporting up to T1 and E1 rates with integrated T1 CSUs and DSUs or E1 DSUs, the multiflex VWICs can
be used in data-only, channelized (drop and insert) voice and data integration applications, as well as packet voice and data connections to a PBX or
the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). (Packet voice requires the use of the high-density voice trunk network module.) Unlike traditional
multibox voice and data components, when used in a Cisco 2600 or Cisco 3700, the T1/E1 multiflex VWICs deliver a single-box voice and data
platform that provides a graceful migration from data only to channelized voice and data, to packet voice and data. (Refer to Table 6 for the
complete list of supported VWIC modules for the Cisco 2600 Series.)
