Application Monitoring
• Monitor protocol and
application usage
• Monitor Host and
conversation matrix
• Monitor Application
Response Time
Monitor the mission-critical application traffic
and improve service degradation by isolating
miss-configured network applications or
preventing frivolous use of the network
Campus Switch

Isolation and Troubleshooting
• Assess availability, usage
and connectivity
• Drill down statistics on LAN,
WAN, Frame Relay, and ATM
segments for quick problem
resolution
• Extensive packet capture
and decodes
Isolate root cause of availability
problems as either application,
protocol or equipment related by
conversation and packet capture
and decode
Campus Switch

Proactive Management
• Define alarms and
monitor thresholds
• Isolate and diagnose
problems before they
affect the network
• Provide high network
availability
Network managers can be alerted to a
problem and then use the fault
isolation tools and drill-down
applications to track down a problem.

Planning and Performance Tuning
• Understand normal
operating conditions and
trends
• Short-term and long-term
historical reports
• Multiple data sources and
statistical data for
relevant traffic
Reporting engine provides an extensive
planning tools for conducting trend
analysis and to determine usage patterns
over time

• Physical interface, IP address,
chassis type exchanged
• Each device maintains “CDP”
cache table
• Tables are read by
management application
• Applicable across
frame networks
• ILMI for ATM networks

InterSwitch Links (ISL)
Maintains Switch-Switch Performance
• Establishes membership
through ASICs
• Eliminates look-ups
and tables
• Labels each packet as received
(i.e. ‘packet tagging’)
• Transports multiple
VLANs across links
• Maps effectively across
mixed backbones
• Protocol, end stationindependent
