Cisco WAN Manager Overview
Cisco WAN Manager (CWM), a suite of WAN multiservice management applications, provides powerful
fault, configuration, and performance management functionality for WAN multiservice switches. CWM
also provides robust statistics collection, storing the information in an Informix SQL database and
allowing simple integration of this data into existing network management and operations systems.
Element and network management functions are provided by the CWM system, which can manage Cisco

Cisco MGX™ 8220, Cisco MGX™ 8230, Cisco MGX™ 8250, and both Release 1 and Release 2 Cisco
MGX™ 8850 devices seamlessly. CWM provides open interfaces for higher level service management
systems.
