Scenario 1 - Performance/Troubleshooting NAM-1/2

After Dean installs and configures the Catalyst 6500 series NAM module, he is ready to see if the new

network is performing as expected. Because the switch with the new NAM is central to most traffic flowing

through the Headquarters' network, Dean should be able to determine very quickly how the network is

performing. To do so, Dean first looks at the ports on the switch to get a snapshot of their current utilization.

From there, he can drill down for more detailed views of traffic for any port or virtual LAN (VLAN). As you will

see, Dean discovers some unwanted traffic, and he uses the NAM to find out who is generating it.
