CWM Release 10 Applications
of service. The end-to-end connection is automatically established without requiring configuration of the
network on a switch-by-switch basis. In addition, each connection’s status can be viewed from one
endpoint to the other.
Connection management is one of the most challenging issues in ATM network management. ATM
networks support so many connections that it can become impossible to administer and manage them.
The Connection Service MIB provides integrated automated provisioning of connections based on
quality of service parameters, such as the type of connection being made, available bandwidth, and the
current state of the network.
The Connection Service MIB provides a standard SNMP interface for the WAN ATM network at the
service level. Service providers who are responsible for managing the entire shared network can use this
interface to integrate with automated Operations Support Systems (OSS) provisioning systems, and also
to provide Customer Network Management (CNM) views and control capabilities on a per-connection
basis.
Network Browser
The Network Browser application provides a hierarchical representation of network information in a
table format. Each network element managed by Cisco WAN Manager (CWM) has its own attributes and
fits in the network’s physical or logical hierarchy. In Release 10 of CWM, the Network Browser presents
the network elements that are discovered, managed, and controlled in a hierarchical view for all networks
populated in the network table by CWM processes.
The Network Browser displays the network elements in a hierarchical format based on either a physical
or logical relationship among the various network elements. Networks are displayed at the root level of
the component tree, and nodes and trunks are displayed beneath the networks in a parent/child
relationship.
The Network Browser also displays informational messages in a multi-line text display. Other types of
messages can be displayed in response to user actions.
Service Class Template Manager
The Service Class Template (SCT) application is a new Java-based application for Release 10 of CWM
that allows for creating SCT files which can then be loaded to nodes, and can be associated with
interfaces on cards within these nodes. This application is launched from the CWM desktop and allows
users and network operators to configure AXSM, AXSM-E, and RPM cards, using the Service Class
Template feature. Specifically, users or network operators are able to use the SCT application to create,
modify, delete, load, and associate SCT files to AXSM cards and ports.
Statistics Collection Manager
The Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) for Release 10 of CWM is a new stand alone collector that
allows a separate SCM collection server in both installation and statistics collection. This new feature
allows you to control and manage statistics collection through a stand alone application. The Statistics
Controller Server, Statistics Collection Server, and Statistics Parser Server provide statistics applicable
to the different cards and nodes.
