NAM Specifications
The NAM software image v3.5 is compatible with the NAM hardware modules for the Catalyst 6500 and
Cisco 7600 Series and the Cisco Branch Routers Series, illustrated above. This tutorial covers aspects of
both types of NAMs – the NAM-1, NAM-2 and the NM-NAM.
The NAM hardware, for the most part, is transparent to the end user. Hardware wise, what matters most to
the end-user is the number of monitoring interfaces and the types of data sources they support, and the
amount of CPU and memory which provides increased monitoring resources and flexibility.
This chart depicts some of the key hardware differences and uses of the various NAM modules.
Note(s):
• The NAM 3.5.1a version has been tested with IOS 12.4(10).
