Administering the Network Analysis Module

How you administer the NAM on your Catalyst 6500 series switch, Catalyst 6000 series switch, or

Cisco 7600 series router depends on whether you are using the Cisco IOS software or the Catalyst

operating system software. Several NAM administration tasks are common to either operating system.

These sections describe how to administrate the NAM from the CLI for each operating system:

• Cisco IOS Software, page 4-1

• Catalyst Operating System Software, page 4-11

When you complete administering the software-dependent attributes for the NAM, you can configure the

software-independent NAM attributes. For more information, see the “Operating-System-Independent

NAM Administration” procedure on page 4-20.

Cisco IOS Software

You can perform these various administrative tasks on the NAM with Cisco IOS software:

• Logging In to the NAM with Cisco IOS Software, page 4-1

• Changing the NAM CLI Passwords with Cisco IOS Software, page 4-3

• Resetting the NAM with Cisco IOS Software, page 4-4

• Upgrading the NAM Software with Cisco IOS Software, page 4-5

• Configuring Mini-RMON with Cisco IOS Software, page 4-10

Logging In to the NAM with Cisco IOS Software

The NAM has two user levels with different access privileges:

• Guest—Read-only CLI access (default password is guest)

• Root—Full read-write access (default password is cisco)

Note The root account uses the # prompt; the guest account uses the > prompt. The default root and guest

passwords for the maintenance image is cisco if the NAM is the WS-SVC-NAM-1 or WS-SVC-NAM-2

module.
