Cisco WAN Manager User’s Guide
Version 10.5, Part Number 78-12945-01 Rev. D0, August 2003
Chapter 1 Cisco WAN Manager Overview
Additional CWM Release 10 Applications and Features
Operating within the HP OpenView multi-vendor management environments, CWM supports a suite of
open interfaces for access to management information including:
• Standard management integration protocols interfaces, including SNMP
• SQL access to the Informix relational traffic database
• X-terminal access for multiple operators into CWM management agents
• Craft interface for terminals and simple tools
WAN multiservice management can be integrated within the multi-vendor environment using third party
applications in conjunction with the CWM application. Otherwise, integration management interfaces
and software tools can achieve fault, configuration, performance and security management through the
open management interfaces.
Event Manager
Network faults are integrated with the HP OpenView Event Browser to enable management of
heterogeneous, multi-vendor network environments. Through the Event Browser the events can be
filtered by a combination of event type, source, message string, time received, and severity, grouped into
categories based on event severity, or acted-on through custom-defined operator actions. Different
actions can be configured on a per-node basis such that the same type of event from different sources
cause different automatic actions.
Network Topology
The Cisco WAN network topology is automatically discovered and presented through topology map
windows. Network element and trunk status are represented by icon color changes dynamically. Custom
background images can be associated with each network map to provide a user-defined view of the
network.
