Service Management Options
The Cisco ME 2400 Series offers a superior command-line interface (CLI) for detailed configuration. In addition, the switches support
CiscoWorks, the Cisco CNS 2100 Series Intelligence Engine, and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for networkwide
management. Service providers can integrate the Cisco ME 2400 Series transparently into their operations support systems (OSSs) and enable
improved flow-through provisioning.
The Cisco CNS 2100 Series network device allows service providers to effectively manage a network of Cisco IOS
®
Software devices,
including the Cisco ME 2400 Series. It is a completely self-contained unit that includes a task-oriented Web GUI, a programmable Extensible
Markup Language (XML) interface, configuration template management, and an embedded repository. Network operators can use the Web
GUI to quickly turn existing Cisco IOS CLI configuration files into reusable templates. The Cisco CNS 2100 Series integrates easily into
existing customer OSSs or business support systems (BSSs) and provisioning systems with its external repository support and the event-based
Cisco IOS Software XML interface that effectively “workflow-enables” Cisco device deployment. Service providers also can manage the Cisco
ME 2400 Series using SNMP versions 2 and 3. A comprehensive set of MIBs is provided for service providers to collect traffic information on
the Cisco ME 2400 Series.
Applications
The purpose-built Cisco ME 2400 Series switches help service providers offer a portfolio of profitable, differentiated services such as triple-
play services for the ETTH market.
Triple-Play Service
Triple-play service is a popular choice for service providers. By combining Internet access, voice, and video services, service providers can
generate higher average revenue per unit (ARPU). Triple-play service provides additional value by increasing customer retention. The Cisco
ME 2400 Series switches are optimized for triple-play service. By delivering the primary features in the areas of quality of service (QoS),
multicast, and security, the Cisco ME 2400 Series helps service providers deploy successful triple-play service (Figure 2).
