The Cisco WS-SVC-NAM2 Network Analysis Module is an advanced network monitoring and performance analysis solution designed for compatible Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers. Integrated directly into the host chassis, the module provides comprehensive visibility into network traffic, application performance, and voice services, helping administrators identify and resolve performance issues efficiently.
The WS-SVC-NAM2 supports real-time and historical traffic monitoring, enabling IT teams to analyze bandwidth utilization, application behavior, network congestion, and performance trends. By collecting and analyzing data from SPAN, RSPAN, NetFlow, and other supported network sources, the module provides detailed insight into network operations without requiring a separate external monitoring appliance for supported in-chassis functions.
Designed for advanced troubleshooting, the Cisco WS-SVC-NAM2 supports packet capture, protocol analysis, application-level visibility, and performance analytics. These capabilities help network administrators quickly identify bottlenecks, isolate traffic problems, troubleshoot application performance, and optimize network resources.
The module also provides voice and VoIP performance monitoring, helping organizations analyze voice quality and identify network conditions that may affect communication services. This makes it particularly useful for converged networks carrying business-critical data, voice, and application traffic.
An embedded web-based graphical user interface (GUI) simplifies network monitoring, reporting, and troubleshooting by providing centralized access to traffic and performance information. Historical analysis and performance reporting capabilities further help administrators understand network trends and improve infrastructure planning.
Ideal for network performance monitoring, application analysis, traffic troubleshooting, voice quality monitoring, enterprise network management, and service provider visibility, the Cisco WS-SVC-NAM2 Network Analysis Module delivers integrated network intelligence and advanced troubleshooting capabilities for Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 Series environments.
