Installing the NM-NAM

After you have identified the appropriate locations for the NM-NAM, and you have determined that the router

hosting the NM-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 NM-NAM must be place in the slot specifically used for a service module. Remember the NM-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.

Configuration of the NM-NAM is a little different than the NAM-1, NAM-2. Because the NM-NAM plugs into a

router interface, that interface must first be configured using the router CLI. Next, as will be further discussed

shortly, the IP address of the NM-NAM is applied to one of it’s two interfaces.

Note: Unlike other network modules, network analysis modules use hard disks. Online removal of disks

without proper shutdown can result in file system corruption and might render the disk unusable. The

operating system on the network analysis module must be shut down in an orderly fashion before the network

module is removed.
