NAM-1/2 Specifications
The chart above shows basic specifications for the NAM-1 and NAM-2 hardware. Because the NAM-2 has a
second data port for receiving a second data stream for analysis it is considered the choice for high
performance applications. The NAM-1 can not be upgraded to a NAM-2.
Hardware Architecture for Cisco NAM-1
High-performance, dual-processor architecture, 512 MB RAM
Two data-collection interfaces to backplane (one for SPAN and VACL data sources, one for NetFlow)
Fabric-enabled platform with interface to both bus and crossbar-based architectures
Hardware Architecture for Cisco NAM-2
Extra high-performance, dual-processor architecture with hardware-based packet acceleration, 1GB RAM
Gigabit monitoring performance
Three data-collection interfaces to backplane (two for SPAN and VACL data sources that can be used
independently or together, and one for NetFlow)
Fabric-enabled platform with interface to both bus and crossbar-based architectures
Supported Platforms
Cisco NAM-1 and NAM-2 can be deployed in any slot (except the Supervisor slot) in Cisco Catalyst 6500
and Catalyst 6000 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers [both bus- and crossbar (fabric)-based
architectures]; multiple NAMs can be placed in the same chassis
Supported with Cisco IOS® Software or Cisco Catalyst Operating System on the supervisor engine
Supported Topologies and Data Sources
LAN-Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN), Remote SPAN (RSPAN), Encapsulated SPAN (ERSPAN), VLAN ACL
(VACL)-based captures, NetFlow (versions 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9)
WAN-NetFlow (versions 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) from local and remote devices, VACL-based captures for
FlexWAN and Optical Service Module (OSM) interfaces (Cisco IOS Software only)
