Installing the NAM-1, NAM-2
When deployed properly, the capabilities of the NAM provide a wide array of benefits for analyzing data and
voice streams. Chapter 2 discussed many of the issues you must consider when deciding how and where to
deploy the NAM-1, NAM-2. Typical deployment spots include LAN aggregation points where it can collect the
most data, service points (server farms, data centers, and so on) where performance is critical, and at
important access points. Of course, actual placement depends on the problem you are trying to solve with the
NAM.
Note: Placement and intended use may also dictate the need for the higher-performance NAM-2.
After you have identified the appropriate locations for the NAM, and you have determined that the Cisco
Catalyst
®
Switch hosting the NAM meets all requirements, you can then install the NAM blade and configure
it for basic management (for use with the Traffic Analyzer software embedded in the NAM or a third-party
application), and for any additional monitoring, data source, or auto-start options.
The NAM can be installed in any slot on the host Cisco Catalyst
®
Switch except for the slot(s) that are
reserved for the Supervisor module(s).
The NAM is a complex piece of electrical hardware and should be treated carefully. Installers should follow all
safety precautions when handling and installing any electrical component to avoid damage. Follow all
recommendations listed in the install guide to ensure the best operating environment for the NAM.
Note: The NAM must be properly shut down before removing it from the switch or serious damage to the
NAM may occur. Consult the information later in this chapter (NAM Maintenance) prior to removing the NAM
blade.
