Cisco Borderless Network Architecture and Solutions
x Cisco Collaboration Architecture and Solutions

Ensure Interoperability, Introduce New Capabilities, and Break Down Boundaries to Improve
Collaboration
The way people work together is undergoing a significant transformation that requires a new
workspace model. This new workspace model will become a platform of communications and
collaboration capabilities that enables a user-centric experience delivered to any device at any
location. The new workspace will be inherently:
Mobile, so that users can use the workspace no matter where they go or when they go there
Social in nature, so that communication moves beyond one-to-one to many-to-many to
capture the power of social networking
Visual by design, so that the richness of video communications enables users to tell their
stories in the most personal way
Virtual, in that applications, data, and even operating systems can be securely and reliably
delivered from private or public clouds through intelligent networks that connect the many
devices people use.
As you implement the new workspace, the Cisco Collaboration Architecture helps ensure
interoperability between existing and new forms of communication and collaboration
technologies, further enabling both structured and impromptu business processes. Individual
components of the architecture can be implemented onsite, offered as hosted software-as-a-
service solutions, or deployed as a combination of the two. The Cisco Collaboration Architecture
comprises the following layers:
Network ServicesEnsure end-user quality of experience by providing the foundation for
network-enabled collaboration.
Medianet ServicesOptimize video and other forms of rich, interactive media.
Collaboration ServicesStreamline collaboration and break down application silos with
open, secure, reusable capabilities.
Client ServicesProvide programmatic access to collaboration services for custom
development and integration with traditional environments.
Collaboration ApplicationsStreamline workflow and optimize decision making with
software and hardware that facilitates robust communications.
DevicesProvide freedom and flexibility in accessing collaboration tools and services by
allowing teams to work in the manner that suits them best.
Security ServicesProtect all layers of the architecture from constantly evolving threats.
Management ServicesStreamline management across operations, administration,
maintenance, and provisioning.
Founded on the Cisco Collaboration Architecture, Cisco Collaboration solutions, along with
services from Cisco and our partners, can help you build more effective teams across corporate
boundaries, companies, and continents. You can deploy the solutions in any order, at a pace that
matches your business objectives.
With Cisco you will enjoy a new level of freedom and flexibility, while reducing cost and
complexity, in the way people connect, communicate, and collaborate.

resource to pursue new opportunities and mitigate challenges to the business. Based on an
architectural approach that blends innovative technologies, solutions, services, and ecosystem
partnerships to strategically and holistically address business needs, Cisco Data Center Business
Advantage allows IT to have a direct and positive effect on the business. Together with our
ecosystem partners, we give businesses the flexibility to choose solutions that meet their
workload and application requirements, helping ensure predictable performance. The Cisco
Unified Fabric, Unified Computing, and Unified Network Services are the foundational pillars for
the Cisco Data Center Business Advantage. Solutions for consolidation, virtualization, automation,

Network Management, and Virtualized Networking products as well as Cisco Data Center
Interconnect solutions.
Cisco Unified ComputingThe Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) represents a
radical simplification of traditional architectures, dramatically reducing the number of devices
organizations must purchase, deploy, and maintain. Cisco UCS delivers end-to-end
optimization for virtualized environments while retaining the ability to support traditional OS
and application stacks in physical environments.
Cisco Unified Network ServicesThe Cisco Unified Network Services (Cisco UNS) brings
together an intelligent solution set that secures and optimizes the delivery of applications
across the distributed enterprise. Cisco UNS addresses the requirements of dynamic, on-
demand service delivery with consistently managed policy-based provisioning, bringing
integrated application delivery and security services to highly scalable, virtualized data
centers and cloud environments. Cisco UNS includes Cisco Application Delivery, WAN
Optimization, Data Center Security, and Network Analysis and Monitoring products in physical,
software, and virtualized form factors.

Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco 1900 Series is architected to meet the application demands of today's branch offices with design
flexibility for future applications. The modular architecture is designed to support expanding customer
requirements, increased bandwidth, and fully integrated power distribution to modules supporting 802.3af
Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Cisco Enhanced PoE (ePoE).
Key architectural features include:
Modular platform
- The Cisco 1900 Series ISR are highly modular platforms with multiple module slots to provide
connectivity and services for varied branch network requirements.
- The ISRs offer an industry-leading breadth of LAN and WAN connectivity options through modules to
accommodate field upgrades to future technologies without requiring replacement of the platform.
Processors
- The Cisco 1900 Series is powered by high-performance multi-core processors that support growing
demands of branch office networks by supporting high throughput WAN requirements.
MultiGigabit fabric
- The Cisco 1941 model in the Cisco 1900 Series introduces an innovative MultiGigabit Fabric (MGF)
which allows for efficient module to module communication, enabling direct services interactions across
modules while reducing the overhead on the router processor.
Embedded IPSec/SSL VPN hardware acceleration
- Embedded hardware encryption acceleration is enhanced to provide higher scalability, which, combined
with an optional Cisco IOS Security license, enables WAN link security and VPN services (Both IPSec
and SSL acceleration).
- The onboard encryption hardware out-performs the Advanced Integration Modules of previous
generations.
- The routers support Cisco Easy VPN (remote and server), Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), Group
Encrypted VPN (GET VPN), and Secure Socket Layer VPN (SSL VPN).
- More than 3700 intrusion-prevention-system (IPS) signatures are supported in Cisco IOS Software, with
the ability to load and enable selected IPS signatures.
- Content Filtering includes URL/keyword blocking and features category-based productivity and security

The Cisco XR 12000 and 12000 Series Routers compose a portfolio of
intelligent routing solutions that scale from 2.5 to n x 10Gpbs capacity per
slot, facilitating carrier-class IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
networks and accelerating the evolution to IP next-generation networks.
Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco XR 12000 and 12000 Series Routers deliver up to 1.28-
Tbps switching capacity with wire-speed feature performance,
scalability, and graceful hardware and software upgrade paths.
These routers offer full forward compatibility for all line cards and the
portfolio of shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processors
(SIPs).
The routers scale to the edge, supporting backbone- or edge-optimized line cards in the same chassis.
The routers maximize the value of line-rate edge applications with 10-G uplinks.
IP quality of service (QoS) and congestion-control implementation facilitates real-time services such as
voice over IP (VoIP) and video. The distributed architecture and class-of-service features of the routers, such
as priority-based congestion control (Weighted Random Early Detection [WRED]) and dedicated Low
Latency Queuing (Modified Deficit Round Robin [MDRR]), along with virtual output queuing (Virtual Output
Queuing [VOQ]), eliminate head-of-line blocking (HOL) and maintain packet sequence integrity under all
conditions.
Non-service-affecting online insertion and removal (OIR) of components (including switch fabric cards) and
front accessibility reduce downtime and simplify maintenance.
Cisco Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) and Cisco Stateful Switchover (SSO) eliminate single points of failure, help
maintain system performance, and prevent service interruption; packet forwarding remains uninterrupted
before, during, and after a route-processor switchover.
Performance Route Processor-3 (PRP-3)PRP-3 is the premium route processor for the Cisco XR 12000
Series Router. This latest generation of Performance Route Processors (PRPs) vastly expands the
processing power for control plane and management plane applications, providing up to 300% improvement
over PRP-2 performance for such applications. The premium PRP-3 route processor greatly extends the
lifetime of the Cisco XR 12000 Series platform.
Service Module Daughter Card (SMDC)The new services card can be plugged on to the PRP-3 route
processor to support a comprehensive suite of CGv6 features, as well as a number of service applications
that help bridge the IPv6 divide and build a bridge to the future of the Internet.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series represents an exciting new paradigm in the world of
Carrier Ethernet transport with exceptional scalability, carrier-class reliability,
environmentally conscious design, incredible flexibility, and an enticing new price-
to-performance benchmark.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series has four form factors: the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, the
Cisco ASR 9006 Router, the Cisco ASR 9922 Router, and the Cisco ASR 9000v
Router. Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to provide true carrier-class
reliability using the Cisco IOS XR operating system, comprehensive system
redundancy, and a full complement of network resiliency schemes.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series also offers service and application-level intelligence
focused on optimized video delivery and mobile aggregation. Finally, the Cisco
ASR 9000 Series is designed to simplify and enhance the operational and
deployment aspects of service-delivery networks.
Key Features and Benefits
Cisco IOS XR modular operating systemThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series leverages the Cisco IOS XR
operating system made famous by the highly successful Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System platform in core
deployments. The Cisco IOS XR operating system is purpose-built for distributed systems such as the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series, and uses a microkernel architecture to achieve true modularity. This modularity
provides the path to nonstop operations during software image upgrades or module changes, without
affecting normal platform operations.
Fully distributed systemThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series operates in a fully distributed fashion; that is, all
packet-forwarding decisions and actions take place on the individual line cards. These high-density Ethernet
line cards are equipped with a specialized network processor that provides a flexible programming
infrastructure with high-density hierarchical quality-of-service (H-QoS) services, security, and integrated
synchronous Ethernet. The distributed nature of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series improves resiliency by adding a
new dimension in scale for features such as bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) and Ethernet
operations, administration, and maintenance (E-OAM).
Operationally efficient and redundant hardwareThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series provides an infrastructure
where all common components, route switch processors (RSPs), switching fabric, fans, and power supplies,
are completely redundant. In addition, the platform is designed such that power is used on an as-needed
basis depending on system requirements. Power has been modularized for a true pay-as-you-grow
approach, reducing capital expenditures (CapEx) and again providing an operationally efficient deployment.
The Cisco ASR 9000 also provides a space-optimized small-platform option that uses the Series' common
components and retains a central office deployment-ready capability using a patent-pending side-to-back
airflow design.
Environmentally conscious designIn today's world of increasing awareness of the human impact on the
environment and the resultant fiscal implications, Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers bring a fresh new
conscious approach to product development. From optimal thermal design to the architecture of the power
infrastructure, from the placement of line card components to the pitch of each slot, every design aspect had
one goal in mind: reduced environmental impact through lowered power consumption and decreased
cooling requirements. Even the product packaging process was evaluated to minimize the use of packaging
material and thereby reduce waste at customer locations. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is an example of the
continued Cisco commitment to efficient and future-friendly product design.
Network virtualizationLeveraging Cisco's network virtualization or nV technology, the Cisco ASR 9000
System offers exceptional pay as you grow scale, carrier-class reliability, and simplified service provisioning.
The ASR 9000v sets the industry benchmark as a virtualized compact carrier-class converged access and
aggregation platform.
Integrated services capabilityThe Cisco ASR 9000 Series delivers flexible and highly scalable service
integration through the Integrated Service Module (ISM) allowing operational efficiency and faster time to
market. A Cisco ASR 9000 system populated with ISMs becomes a platform upon which new services and
applications can be layered over time and deployed much more quickly.

The Cisco ASR 900 Series delivers on the Cisco Unified Ethernet Access
vision by having a single product family with one software and system
architecture to enable service providers to offer Ethernet transport
services across access and aggregation networks for business access,
mobile backhaul, residential, and other deployments.
The Cisco ASR 903 Router is Ciscos first product built specifically for the
pre-aggregation function in networks that target convergence of wireless
and wireline services. A natural extension to Ciscos service provider
access and aggregation portfolio, the Cisco ASR 903 Router extends the reach of the portfolio with a small-
footprint, redundant, modular, and industrial temperature-hardened device.
The Cisco ASR 903 Route Switch Processor (RSP) provides the central control and forwarding capabilities of
the router with rich clocking and management interfaces. I/O connectivity is provided through hot-swappable
Interface Module (IM) cards. The IM cards can deliver DS-0 to OC-12 TDM/ATM and n x 10-Mbps Ethernet to n x
10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity into service provider access and aggregation networks at wire speeds of up
to 55 Gbps.
The Cisco ASR 903 Routers combine Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking capabilities with a high-bandwidth, high-
performance architecture, including hardware-based forwarding of Circuit Emulation, Ethernet Operations,
Administration and Maintenance (E-OAM) protocols, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Multiprotocol Label
Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP), IPv4, and IPv6.

Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 high-end supervisor family uses Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology, built
on this supervisor engine, which facilitates easy-to-use, reliable, and scalable switching for enterprise core,
distribution, data center, and server access. VSS delivers a system performance of up to 1.44 Tbps by
unifying two physical switches into a single, logical entity, offering optimized network convergence, load
balancing, and manageability.
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 with Supervisor Engine 2T switching fabric unlocks 80 Gbps/slot on all
Cisco Catalyst 6500 E Series platforms, thereby providing high-density 1Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 40 Gbps
network connectivity on a single chassis. This system offers 720 Mpps distributed switching performance,
building the foundation for the Cisco Catalyst 650 Virtual Switching System 4T.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 with Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720-10GThe supervisor engine can be
used in standalone mode to deliver up to 48 Mpps of centralized and 450 Mpps of distributed switching
performance, building the foundation for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Virtual Switching System 1440.
Cisco IOS Software modularityThe Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series reduces planned and unplanned
downtime while boosting operational efficiency. Faults within modular subsystems are isolated from all
other processes, and can be restarted without losing state (stateful process restarts). While modular IOS

Key Features and Benefits
Cisco StackWise technologyOne IP address and one command-line interface (CLI) simplify management.
A 32-Gbps resilient architecture speeds convergence, and 1:N stack master redundancy and Layer 3 uplink
resilience as well as cross-stack Cisco EtherChannel technology and quality of service (QoS) increase
availability. Autoconfiguration and Cisco IOS Software version check and update accelerate deployment,
and hot add and delete of switches keep the stack running.
AvailabilityThese switches offer fault tolerance, load balancing, and rapid recovery; increased available
bandwidth with Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) by allowing traffic on redundant links; and sub-100-
millisecond convergence with Flexlink technology.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)The switches provide 370W PoE, which simplifies IP telephony, wireless, and
video-surveillance deployments; intelligent power-management features; and PoE combined with Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet.
Layer 3The switches support advanced routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OPSF),
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Policy Based Routing (PBR) to increase network
scale; equal cost routing as well as multicast routing such as Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM); Virtual
Route Forwarding Lite (VRFLite) to secure traffic; and IPv6.
QoSTraffic shaping smooths a sudden traffic flow outburst without dropping packets; shaped Round
Robin guarantees bandwidth to mission-critical applications; and Scavenger Queuing protects against
worms overloading resources.
ManagementCisco Smartports quicken and simplify configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst intelligent
capabilities. Express setup facilitates quick and easy setup through a Web interface, and resource templates
help tailor switch resources for the application.
SecurityDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Snooping allows only trusted ports to relay
DHCP messages, eliminating rogue DHCP servers. Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) prevents the
propagation of costly worms and viruses; Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard prevent against
man-in-the-middle attacks; 802.1x and Identity-Based Network Services allow only authorized persons
on the network; and port security prevents MAC address flooding attacks.
WirelessThe Switch models with integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) controller delivers centralized security
policies, intrusion protection, RF management, QoS and Layer 3 fast secure roaming for WLANs. This WLAN
controller is part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network.
Cisco EnergyWise helps reduce company-wide power consumption and carbon footprint.
Cisco limited lifetime warranty.

The Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Series with Cisco StackWise Plus technology is an
enterprise-class line of stackable wiring-closet switches. Combining 10/100/1000
and Power over Ethernet (PoE) configurations with upgradable 1- to 10-Gigabit
Ethernet uplinks, Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Switches help enhance worker
productivity by enabling applications such as IP telephony, wireless, and video.
Ideal for Companies That Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
Cisco StackWise Plus technologyOne IP address and one command-line interface (CLI) simplify
management. A 64-Gbps resilient architecture speeds convergence, and 1:N stack master redundancy and
Layer 3 uplink resilience as well as cross-stack Cisco EtherChannel technology and quality of service (QoS)
increase availability. Autoconfiguration and Cisco IOS Software version check and update accelerate
deployment, and hot add and delete of switches keep the stack running.
The Cisco TwinGig Converter Module facilitates migrating uplinks from 1-Gigabit Ethernet (Small Form-
Factor Pluggable [SFP]) to 10-Gigabit Ethernet (X2) field-replaceable and -upgradable power supplies and
fan tray.
AvailabilityThe Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Series Switches offer fault tolerance, load balancing, and rapid
recovery; increased available bandwidth with Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) by allowing traffic on
redundant link; and sub-100-millisecond convergence with Flexlink technology.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)The switches offer 1150W PoE, which simplifies IP telephony, wireless, and
video-surveillance deployments. It provides intelligent power-management features and PoE combined
with Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet. Each port may support up to 20W of power.
Layer 3Advanced routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Policy Based Routing (PBR) increase network scale. The switches provide
equal cost routing as well as multicast routing such as Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), Virtual Route
Forwarding Lite (VRFLite) to secure traffic, and IPv6.

Key Features and Benefits
AvailabilityThe Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series Switches offer fault tolerance, load balancing, and rapid
recovery; increased available bandwidth with Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) by allowing traffic on
redundant links; and sub-100-millisecond convergence with Flexlink technology.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)The switches provide 370W PoE, which simplifies IP telephony, wireless, and
video-surveillance deployments; intelligent power-management features; and PoE combined with Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet.
Layer 3The switches support advanced routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OPSF),
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Policy Based Routing (PBR) to increase network
scale; equal cost routing as well as multicast routing such as Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM); Virtual
Route Forwarding Lite (VRFLite) to secure traffic; and IPv6.
QoSTraffic shaping smooths a sudden traffic flow outburst without dropping packets; shaped Round
Robin guarantees bandwidth to mission-critical applications; and Scavenger Queuing protects against
worms overloading resources.
ManagementCisco Smartports quicken and simplify configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst intelligent
capabilities. Express setup facilitates quick and easy setup through a Web interface, and resource
templates help tailor switch resources for the application.
SecurityDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Snooping allows only trusted ports to relay
DHCP messages, eliminating rogue DHCP servers. Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) prevents
the propagation of costly worms and viruses; Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard prevent
against man-in-the-middle attacks; 802.1x and Identity-Based Network Services allow only authorized
persons on the network; and port security prevents MAC address flooding attacks.

proximity to customers. The ability to deploy the Cisco ME 3600X Series and later activate features as
demand and growth dictate, with little if any need for service calls, delivers highly measurable investment
protection. This allows flexible timing for migrating from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, deploying MPLS services, and
boosting service capacity.
Advanced service-level agreementsService-aware quality of service (QoS) allows service providers to
expand and differentiate their services portfolio with highly advanced and differentiating SLAs. The H-QoS
capabilities of the Cisco ME 3600X Series scale to eight queues per service, three levels of scheduling, and
buffer volumes capable of accommodating todays most demanding wireline and wireless applications.
Mobile timing and synchronization servicesThe Cisco ME 3600X Series provides the timing services
required in todays converged access network to support mobile solutions, including Radio Access
Network (RAN) applications, and offers integrated support for the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS)
interface. The Cisco ME 3600X Series also supports synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and can source network
clocking information.
Operational efficiency for Carrier Ethernet access deploymentsThe Cisco ME 3600X Series features
important enhancements that help service providers simplify and facilitate the management of their
network, resulting in diminishing operational costs. This unique feature set enables deployment of the Cisco
ME 3600X Series in a variety of applications, including business service with 10 Gigabit Ethernet User

powerful default behaviors, thereby simplifying deployment, troubleshooting, and provisioning of the Cisco
ME 3400 Series.
QoSThe Cisco ME 3400 Series supports the Cisco Modular QoS CLI (MQC) to provide a modular and
highly extensible framework for deploying QoS. By using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)-
based QoS solution, the Cisco ME 3400 Series provides policing, marking, shaping, and scheduling without
affecting performance.
Comprehensive security solutionAs Metro Ethernet networks expand, it is a challenge to provide the
same level of security as other access technologies. Cisco ME 3400 Series Switches provide a
comprehensive security solution for Ethernet access networks by addressing their security features with
respect to each of three areas: subscriber, switch, and network security.
Ethernet operations, administration, and maintenance (Ethernet OAM)The Cisco ME 3400 Series
supports industry-standard OAM&P tools including IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)
and the Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) protocols. IEEE 802.1ag allows operators to monitor
and troubleshoot end-to-end Ethernet networks and allows service providers to check connectivity, isolate
network issues, and identify customers affected by network problems. The E-LMI protocol, developed by
the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), enables service providers to automatically configure the customer-edge
device to match the subscribed service. This automatic provisioning not only reduces the effort to set up
the service, but also reduces the amount of coordination required between the service provider and
enterprise customer. In addition, the Cisco ME 3400 Series supports the IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First
Mile standard for service providers to perform link monitoring, fault isolation/detection, and loopback on the
link between the customer equipment and the service provider network.

The Cisco ME 3400E Series Ethernet Access Switches are a series of
next-generation Layer 2 and Layer 3 customer-located devices for
service providers. The Cisco ME 3400E Series helps service providers
deliver four important attributes that are essential to next-generation
Carrier Ethernet service: availability, flexibility, manageability, and
security.
Ideal for Companies that Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
Service provider-friendly hardware
Small form factorThe Cisco ME 3400E Series is designed with a compact form factor to accommodate
deployment in small spaces. Combined with various mounting options, these switches can be deployed in
space-constrained places.
Industry-standard certificationsThe Cisco ME 3400E Series is certified for both Network Equipment
Buildings Standards Level 3 (NEBS3) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)
standards.
Flexible power optionsThe Cisco ME 3400E Series supports modular power options. Both the 24- and 12-
port models (ME-3400E-24TS-M and ME-3400EG-12CS-M, respectively) support dual AC, dual DC, and a
mix of AC and DC power-supply configurations. In addition, the Cisco ME 3400E Series DC power supply
supports 24-VDC options needed for cell-tower deployments.
Remote managementTo help service providers reduce operating expenses (OpEx), the Cisco ME 3400E
Series supports features such as dying gasp for loss of power, external alarm inputs, and port or VLANB-
based traffic loopback. These features help reduce the necessity for expensive truck rolls to the equipment
site by enabling remote troubleshooting and diagnostic.
Extended temperature rangeThe Cisco ME 3400E Series can operate at up to 65 degrees Celsius,
depending on model type and configuration.
Metro-specific software
User-Network Interface (UNI), Enhanced Network Interface (ENI), and Network-Node Interface (NNI) port
typesThe Cisco ME 3400E Series software introduces the concepts of UNI, ENI, and NNI for Ethernet
access switches. Because the software can identify the application of each port, it can provide many
powerful default behaviors, thereby simplifying deployment, troubleshooting, and provisioning of the Cisco
ME 3400E Series.
VLAN flexibilityThe Cisco ME 3400E Series offers 1:1 VLAN translation and selective QinQ. These features
allow service providers to expand their Layer 2 service offerings, and they provide robust control of VLAN
tags for both customers and service providers.
Quality of service (QoS)The Cisco ME 3400E Series supports the Cisco Modular QoS CLI (MQC) to
provide a modular and highly extensible framework for deploying QoS. By using an application-specific
integrated circuit (ASIC)-based QoS solution, the Cisco ME 3400E Series provides policing, marking,
shaping, and scheduling without affecting performance. In addition, the Cisco ME 3400E Series also
supports advanced QoS features such as two-rate three-color ingress policing and class-of-service (CoS)
mapping. These features enable service providers to offer more granular services.
Comprehensive security solutionAs Metro Ethernet networks expand, it is a challenge to provide the same
level of security as other access technologies. Cisco ME 3400E Series Switches provide a comprehensive
security solution for Ethernet access networks by addressing their security features with respect to each of
three areas: subscriber, switch, and network security.
Ethernet operations, administration, and maintenance (Ethernet OAM)The Cisco ME 3400 Series supports
industry-standard OAM&P tools including IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) and the
Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) protocols. IEEE 802.1ag allows operators to monitor and
troubleshoot end-to-end Ethernet networks and allows service providers to check connectivity, isolate
network issues, and identify customers affected by network problems. The E-LMI protocol, developed by the
Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), enables service providers to automatically configure the customer-edge
device to match the subscribed service. This automatic provisioning not only reduces the effort to set up the
service, but also reduces the amount of coordination required between the service provider and enterprise

License Pack Guidelines
Customers can purchase the Cisco Spectrum Intelligence license for Cisco Spectrum Expert Wi-Fi in two ways. Customers who
wish to purchase all WCS advanced feature licenses, including the Cisco Spectrum Intelligence license, for use on a single WCS
host should purchase the Cisco WCS advanced feature pack (WCS-ADV-K9) and then specify the option for the Cisco Spectrum
Intelligence license (WCS-ADV-SI-SE-10). Customers who wish to purchase licenses that can be used across multiple WCS hosts
should purchase Cisco Spectrum Intelligence license spares (WCS-ADV-SI-SE-10).
WCS-ADV-K9The Cisco WCS advanced feature license pack includes license keys for advanced features, including Cisco
Spectrum Intelligence. The license pack may only be used on a single WCS host.
WCS-ADV-SI-SE-10This part number represents the option for the Cisco Spectrum Intelligence advanced feature as part of
the Cisco WCS advanced feature license pack (WCS-ADV-K9). Customers must specify this part number when ordering
Cisco Spectrum Intelligence as part of the combined WCS advanced feature license pack.
WCS-ADV-SI-SE-10=Users who wish to purchase multiple licenses to be deployed across numerous WCS hosts should
purchase the Cisco Spectrum Intelligence license as a spare unit (WCS-ADV-SI-SE-10=). If a customer orders more than one
spare, the system will generate a license pack for each spare ordered. In other words, the number of license packs equals the
number of spares ordered.
Cisco customers can contact their local Cisco representatives for questions related to Cisco WCS licensing. Cisco employees or
partners can contact wcs-customer-license@cisco.com.

Cisco Context-Aware Software
3-66 Chapter 3: Wireless

Ideal for Companies That Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
ScalabilityCisco Context-Aware Software can track up to 18,000 assets simultaneously, including Wi-Fi
clients and assets with Wi-Fi tags.
Multiple context-aware enginesThe modular design of the software allows for the use of the context-
aware engine for clients and the context-aware engine for tags simultaneously or separately for the
estimation of location.
Multiple location technologiesClients and tags can be tracked in indoor, indoor high-ceiling, and outdoor
environments. Tracking is done using the Received Strength Signal Indicator (RSSI)-based RF fingerprinting
technology for indoor environments and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) technology for outdoor and high-
ceiling environments. The Cisco Context-Aware Mobility Service Module also supports the use of
chokepoints for applications requiring high fidelity and deterministic context-aware information.
Open platform for business applicationsTo facilitate the deployment of context-aware based applications
in the enterprise, the context-aware mobility software allows for the integration of business applications
through a rich and open Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)- or Extensible Markup Language (XML)-
based application programming interface (API).
Alerts and notificationsAlerts and notifications can be customized by the user based on business policy
requirements.
Deployment planning optimizationThe process of planning and deployment of data, voice, and context-
aware services is made simpler by the identification of coverage holes for the particular deployment
scenario.
Enhanced securityDetection of rogue access points and devices is made simpler by providing the
location of these devices.
Information-exchange configurationInformation-exchange configuration allows for control of which layer
of information gets forwarded from the Cisco Unified Network controller to the Cisco Context-Aware
Mobility Service Module. This control helps reduce the amount of contextual information gathered and
transmitted across the network.
Historical dataHistorical data on the elements being tracked is collected and stored. This information can
be used for drawing up trends and troubleshooting, among other uses.
Scalable license managementThe license management of the Cisco Context-Aware Software allows for
flexibility in the type and quantity of licenses purchased to match the various scenarios. The licenses are
additive (up to 2000 assets tracked on MSE 3310 and up to 18,000 assets tracked on MSE 3350) and thus
provide for growth of the system.

Contact centers handle thousands of customer conversations a day, but unfortunately much of the enterprise
intelligence that could be gleaned from those conversations is never usedeither because it is too expensive
to capture, or too difficult to mine for useful information. Cisco MediaSense solves these challenges by
recording conversations on the network, rather than a device, simplifying the architecture, lowering costs, and
providing optimum scalability.
Just as important, MediaSense's network-based recording approach allows the captured media to be quickly
available to different applications, regardless of location, through simple application programming interfaces
(APIs). These interfaces implement open web standards, enabling a new ecosystem of applications from Cisco
technology partners that can gather useful information from conversations, either in real time or afterward. Such
information can provide insights into caller concerns, guiding customer service agents toward speedy first-call
resolution, thereby improving agent productivity while increasing customer satisfaction.

IP Communications
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the powerful call-processing component of the Cisco Unified
Communications Solution. It is a scalable, distributable, and highly available enterprise IP telephony call-
processing solution that focuses on lowering the total cost of ownership for customers and improving the user
experience of end users and system administrators. Major highlights include:
Improves mobility, through extension mobility cross-cluster, plus HTTPS for encrypted user name and PIN
transmission
Reduces deployment time, realizes quicker ROI, lowers ongoing operational costs, and improves business
continuity
Provides a dynamic, flexible, network-based call admission control engine for voice and video
Improves cost savings and collaboration by extending Unified Communications capabilities outside the
organization
Key Features and Benefits
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is available on the Cisco Unified Computing System as well as on
Cisco 7800 Series Media Convergence Server platforms and selected third-party servers.
Multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers can be clustered and managed as a single entity.
The application offers scalability from 1 to 40,000 IP phones per cluster, with load-balancing and call-
processing service redundancy. Interlinking allows system capacity to reach 1 million users in a system of
more than 100 sites. The solution aggregates the power of multiple, distributed installations, enhancing the
scalability and accessibility of the servers to phones, gateways, and applications, and triple call-processing
server redundancy improves overall system availability.
Call Admission Control (CAC) helps ensure that voice quality of service (QoS) is maintained across
constricted WAN links, and automatically diverts calls to alternate public-switched-telephone-network
(PSTN) routes when WAN bandwidth is not available.
Devices can automatically update location information as they move from location to location to improve
CAC and emergency service performance.
This solution effectively supports IP phone activities; Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant
has been ported to an Extensible Markup Language (XML) service that can be run on the phone, allowing
Cisco MediaSense
Highly efficient, cost-effective platform to record a variety of media to comply with regulatory
requirements

assistants that handle executive and manager phones to have increased features without having to rely on a
PC to provide the user interface.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager integrates with a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
directory such as Active Directory to provide required security features.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides improved call routing to remote phones connected over a
WAN. It allows alternate routing when the WAN is out of bandwidth or out of service. It provides routing to the
originally called phone number through the PSTN or can call an alternate phone such as a mobile phone
during a WAN failure or an out-of-bandwidth situation.
Access through a full GUI and a command-line interface facilitates diagnostics. The solution supports all
system management activities such as disk-space monitoring, system monitoring, and upgrades, which are
either automated or controlled. The solution supports basic systems management features such as starting
or stopping services and rebooting the appliance.
The solution is preloaded with Cisco Security Agent.
An expanded Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk interface conforms to RFC 3261, allowing support of
video calls over the SIP trunk. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports line-side devices, including
IETF RFC 3261-compliant devices available from Cisco and other manufacturers.
The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) agent on a Cisco router extends CAC capability beyond a hub-
and-spoke topology within a cluster.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support allows managers to set and report traps on
conditions that could affect service and send them to the remote-monitoring systems.

VideoContinuing the theme of doing for video what Ciscos done for voice, Cisco Unified
communications Manager (Unified CM) 8.6 adds native support within Unified CM for many
additional video endpoints, including the EX60 and EX90 as well as C20, C40, C60, and C90).
Unified CM 8.6 also builds in better interoperability with TelePresence systems (CTS). Native
Interoperability among UC, TP and 3rd Party video EP and additional native TAA EP are key
advancements here. Also, greater flexibility in wideband audio codecs (G.722.1), SIP based
encryption and presentation sharing (BFCP).
MobilityGreatly simplifying access and administrative overhead, Unified CM 8.6 now has a
single client for VoIP and cellular, so theres now a consistent user experience across different
networks.
Deployment FlexibilityUnified CM 8.6 includes a couple of key improvements that expand
deployment flexibility; one relates to the Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution (HCS) and the
other relates to additional UC server options.
Within HCS, Unified CM 8.6 improves upon the integration with the Service Providers IMS,
which is framework for better service delivery on cellular networks. By having this integration
on Unified CM 8.6, it allows for better feature interaction between the mobile network and the
enterprise voice network (fixed mobile convergence).
With regard to UC server options, Ciscos first entry into supporting virtualized UC server
implementations within a data center environment was Ciscos Unified Computing System.
Cisco UCS is the industrys only fully unified and virtualization-aware computing platform, and
is ideal for deployments of applications such as Cisco Unified Communications. Cisco also
understands the importance of customer choice in the modern, heterogeneous data center.
Now, with UC system release 8.6, Ciscos strategy for Cisco Unified Communications
deployments on virtualized server platforms includes support for additional Cisco UCS
server options as well as support for alternate vendors systems. These new options come via
a new spec-based VMware support policy, where tested reference configurations are
published and may be used for hardware design guidance. This opens up more Cisco UCS
servers that meet UC specifications as well as certain third-party servers, provided they can
meet the support policy requirements.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management EditionCisco Unified
Communications Manager added Session Management support in Version 7.1(3). Cisco
Unified Communications Session Management Edition support is continued and enhanced in
Version 8.0 with features such as Cisco Intercompany Media Engine and Resource
Reservation Protocol (RSVP). Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management
Edition allows for centralized SIP trunking and routing to help simplify complex networks and
reduce costs by consolidating trunking. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session

PC-based console application with various softkeys and display panes on Cisco Unified IP Phones, it can
present users job-specific tools, such as directories with Click-to-Dial and drag-and-drop functions, to more
efficiently manage calls.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant is configured in either proxy-line mode or shared-line
mode. In proxy-line mode, managers and assistants have different directory numbers or lines on their
phones, but calls to managers are usually diverted to the assistants line based on customizable dynamic
filters. In shared-line mode, both managers and assistants share the same directory number, but assistants can
handle calls without disturbing managers. Either mode can be used in conjunction with the PC-based console

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition is based on the foundation of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager to provide unified communications application integration, policy control, and
a centralized dial plan. Cisco Session Manager cuts administrative overhead, enables least-cost routing, and
supports an easier migration to a full IP communications environment. Its primary capabilities include:
Providing interconnection among private branch exchanges (PBXs)Reduce system administrative
overhead and ease migration to an all-IP environment. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session
Management Edition integrates disparate PBXs, enabling a single throughput point for IP access with ease of
management. Also, SIP headers within various PBXs are normalized and become transparent to the other
PBXs, enabling interoperability. Cisco performs testing, certification and uses standards based protocols
(such as SIP, QSIG) to drive easier interoperability, integration, and deployment. Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Session Management Edition provides an elegant path to evolve legacy or IP-
based systems that would otherwise be extremely difficult or expensive to upgrade.
Simplifying dial-plan managementCisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition
greatly simplifies dial-plan management. Instead of developing complex routing within and among each
individual PBX, they can now point to the central Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session
Management Edition core, enabling all routing to be managed at the session management layer. With Cisco
Service Advertisement Framework (SAF) enterprises can provision at the PBX and at the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Session Management Edition layer, enabling automatic dial-plan configuration to
save additional administration costs.
Extending collaboration applications to every user on the networkThese include rich collaborative
applications such as unified messaging, mobility, TelePresence, social networking, and web applications
(using Web 2.0 interfaces). Unified applications are deployed at the network core, so users on multivendor
PBXs can use centrally deployed applications.
Enabling centralized Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunkingCisco Unified Communications Manager
Session Management Edition with Cisco Unified Border Element, Ciscos session border controller, helps
provide additional cost savings through reduced Primary Rate Interface (PRI) circuits, potential toll savings,
lower maintenance costs, and lower equipment costs. Existing Cisco PSTN gateways can be repurposed to
be used as a Cisco Unified Border Element (through a software upgrade) to serve as IP gateways.
Enabling the Cisco Intercompany Media EngineDelivers communications between business partners
without boundaries to provide additional cost savings. Connections to business partners are made by
leveraging SIP connections over the internet.

Cisco Emergency Responder enhances emergency calling from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It
helps ensure that Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends emergency calls to the appropriate Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and then helps the PSAP identify the callers location and, if necessary, return
the call.
Key Features and Benefits
Automatically tracks IP phone locations by their MAC or IP addresses, eliminating the need for
administrators to update location when an IP phone is relocated.
Provides instructions to Cisco Unified Communications Manager to route emergency calls to a public-
switched-telephone-network (PSTN) gateway capable of reaching the responsible Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) for the callers location.
Identifies the callers location to local exchange carriers (LECs) and PSAPs, replacing the calling-party
number associated with an emergency call with one that corresponds to the callers location, eliminating the
need to update the Automatic Location Information (ALI) database when an IP phone is relocated.
Keeps track of IP phones powered down by EnergyWise. Even when phones are powered down by
EnergyWise, EMR can track them. EMR wont lose track of phones discovered while powered up, but EMR
cannot discover them for the first time while powered down.
Locates IP phones connected to latest model LAN access and compact switches
Integrates with Intrado V9-1-1 service, centralizing and automating the initial administration of Emergency
Location Identification Numbers (ELINs) and Emergency Response Locations (ERLs) for on-premises users,
and facilitating emergency call completion with user-entered location information for off-premises users.
Facilitates PSAP callback to reach the most recent callers from each location, including callers from stations
without direct-inward-dialing (DID) numbers.
Provides voice, web and email alerts to customer security personnel, enabling them to assist emergency
callers immediately, and to direct fire, police, or ambulance services when they arrive.
Simplifies software installation and upgrade and enhances system security and stability.

Cisco Intercompany Media Engine is a revolutionary product that enables true boundaryless communications
among business partners and customers. The idea is to make communications among separate companies and
organizations as effortless and smooth as it is within an individual company. So, whether you and your customer
or partner are located within the same company or in separate companies, the ease, efficiency, and overall
experience of communicating with each other will be exactly the same. Our approach works with the phones you
are already using, the numbers you are already dialing, the contact lists you have already entered, and the speed
dials you are used to.
One of the most exciting capabilities available immediately is communication through rich media. High-
definition audio, video, and high-definition video have proven to greatly enhance the effectiveness of human
collaboration, and Cisco has been on the forefront of delivering solutions for these media. Yet today, it can be
extremely cumbersome, or impossible, for companies to communicate outside of their organizations through
high-definition audio or video. Now, with Cisco IME, these experiences can be shared among business partners
across company lines, all with security, quality, reliability, and ease of use.
With respect to ease of use, Cisco Intercompany Media Engine was developed with the dual objective of
requiring minimal effort to administer as well as zero effort to use. The self-learning feature is a good example.
You learn new routes simply by calling your business partner who has Cisco Intercompany Media Engine.
Neither the administrator nor you must enter this route. You simply dial your business partners as you normally
would. And, from that point on, you dial your partner as you would normally dial a co-worker at your own
company. No administrator help is required, and you are not required to do anything more than your usual
process. And, from the first call and after, the process is easier, because Cisco Intercompany Media Engine has
learned the route and has now integrated the partner into the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Network, where
everyone is connected and interaction is transparent and consistent, as though everyone is in the same
company.
Although easily collaborating with customers and partners through rich media is compelling, it is just the start.
The possibilities for using Cisco Intercompany Media Engine to best advantage to deliver innovative
capabilities, experiences, and applications to be shared among partners are limitless. Intercompany capabilities
such as directory access; one-click collaboration through Cisco WebEx meeting applications; instant availability
status; instant virtual business card exchange; and application interactive prompts, such as interactive voice
response (IVR)-delivered softkeys, are just a few of the array of Cisco Intercompany Media Engine capabilities to
come.
To ensure an enterprise-grade solution, Cisco Intercompany Media Engine has security, efficiency, and quality
built in. The security plus spam blocking of Cisco Intercompany Media Engine address multiple security
concerns, whereas Cisco IME uses both SIP and PSTN to provide network efficiencies and cost savings, as well
call-quality assurance.
Key Features and Benefits
Lets partners use calling features that are available between clusters (except extension mobility)
Learns new routes, through calls to any business partner who participates in the Cisco Intercompany Media
Network
Offers encrypted signaling and media for all Cisco Intercompany Media Engine calls between partners
Provides a high level of security, plus spam blocking, to help prevent mining for callable numbers belonging
to your enterprise

Cloud Services
The Cisco TelePresence Exchange System is an integrated
telepresence and video service-creation platform that can help
service providers and strategic partners create and manage secure,
cloud-based, hosted and managed video collaboration services.
The Cisco TelePresence Exchange System is a feature-rich platform
that offers the following features and benefits:
System management and scalability
- MultitenancyService providers can support multiple business customer organizations from a single
Cisco TelePresence Exchange System deployment. The system segments organization information and
policy control for business-to-business communication and conferencing services.
- Optimized call routingThe system optimizes call routing for endpoints and network bandwidth to
improve network economics and user experience across geographies and across service provider
networks. The meeting-scheduling APIs also allow third-party applications to intelligently instruct the
system to host meetings using the resources closest to the majority of the session participants.
- Resource management and poolingThe Cisco TelePresence Exchange System manages the
allocation of media resources for scheduled and reservationless conferencing services. By clearly
separating the service-control components from the media-processing components, the system can

consistently implement a pooling resource-management strategy for all media resources, including Cisco
TelePresence Multipoint Switches, multipoint control units (MCUs), and interactive-voice-response (IVR)
systems. The net result is a fully redundant solution where the system always selects the most available
resource to handle a session in real time, so that even when a media resource failure affects existing
sessions and meetings, as long as additional media resources are available the affected parties will be
able to redial and continue from where their conversation was terminated.
In addition, the health of every resource is continuously monitored. The Cisco TelePresence Exchange
System proactively takes a faulty resource out of service to avoid possible effects on service availability.
The system exposes these fault conditions through its administration and Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) interfaces so that service providers can capture these events and produce appropriate
alarms.
- Multiregion supportService providers can distribute media resources into different geographical
regions. They can segregate customers and endpoints based on the region they are in. In addition, they
can schedule meetings based on the region where most customers reside to optimize resource usage.
- Exchange managementThe Cisco TelePresence Exchange System offers service providers a
comprehensive management solution. Solution-management interfaces include SNMP, a web-based
management and provisioning administrator portal, and flow-through provisioning options for some media
elements such as the Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510 and Cisco TelePresence Server MCUs. Over
time the flow-through provisioning capabilities of the product will expand to other network and media
elements in order to support the service scale.
- Call detail records (CDRs)The Cisco TelePresence Exchange System is a centralized control point for
management, billing, and administration. The system provides real-time CDRs for all calls traversing the
exchange solution. With a single point of collection for call information, service providers can easily
aggregate and correlate call information from multiple sources to facilitate the billing and revenue
settlement process with their customers and other service provider partners.
- Open APIsThe Cisco TelePresence Exchange System enables further integration of third-party and
internally developed applications to deliver customized meeting experiences and industry applications
for Cisco TelePresence collaboration systems. For example, the scheduling API enables a third-party
scheduling application to schedule, modify, or cancel point-to-point and multipoint meetings. Depending
on the types of endpoints joining a meeting, the appropriate media resources are selected from the
media resource infrastructure, optimizing performance, minimizing conferencing port costs, and
simplifying the user experience.
Services and customer experience
- One-button-to-push experienceThe Cisco TelePresence Exchange System preserves ease-of-use
features such as one-button-to-push session initiation. The system automatically provisions endpoints
hosted in the service provider cloud with the one-button-to-push information necessary to either directly
dial another endpoint or authenticate and join a prescheduled multipoint conference without any need for
additional user interaction.
- ConferencingThe system offers a prepackaged multimedia meet-me conferencing service enabler that
uses instances of Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switches and Cisco TelePresence MSE 8000 MCUs to
deliver full endpoint interoperability while minimizing total cost per port. It supports a scheduled and
impromptu paradigm with a dial-in and dial-out model to allow service providers to properly tailor the
service based on their customers needs. It also takes advantage of the internal VoiceXML engine of the
system to create a pool of IVR instances in the scenarios where it is necessary to interact with the end
user for authentication and user notification.
- Business-to-business communicationThe system is designed to securely support multipoint and point-
to-point calls across enterprise and service provider boundaries. It can route scheduled and impromptu
point-to-point calls between different organizations through the service provider cloud using an internal
number routing database.
- Interoperability servicesThe system supports network-based Cisco TelePresence interoperability with
traditional video systems or other telepresence solutions using the Cisco TelePresence MSE 8000 Series
in a multitenant architecture for optimum service scalability and reach.
- Interprovider communicationThe system conforms to a policy and resource-management framework
for interprovider connectivity. It facilitates the process by which service providers can peer with other
service provider partners networks with the intent of increasing the service reach for their business
customers while maintaining a consistent user experience across enterprise and service provider
boundaries.

Expand educational opportunities and maximize your investment in
telepresence and whiteboard technologies with Cisco TelePresence
Synch.
This revolutionary technology transparently integrates supported
interactive whiteboards with speakers and Cisco TelePresence C Series or
MXP endpoints. Synch effectively converts a standard interactive
whiteboard into a powerful multifunction collaboration tool that brings
together live and remote experts and classrooms.
Interactive whiteboards increase learner participation and allow students to interact with dynamic content. But
in the past, adding a video call was difficult and cumbersome.
Now with Cisco TelePresence Synch, you can add a video call with no loss of functionality on the whiteboard.
And you can easily bring in an expert, a remote location, or even another class to the learning experience
through telepresence.
Educators and presenters can integrate live telepresence sessions with any collaboration application such as
WebEx, running on the presenter or teacher's computer.
With a touch of a finger, Cisco TelePresence Synch automatically calibrates changes in the application windows
running on a computer with the whiteboard and the telepresence content. As a result, the entire whiteboard can
be used as an integrated display as well as a new way to collaborate.

Business networks of all sizes now face increasingly sophisticated
attacks that can impede productivity, obstruct access to
applications and resources, and cause significant
communications disruption. In addition, because of compliance
regulations and consumer privacy laws, business priorities now
include minimizing legal liability, protecting brand reputation, and
safeguarding intellectual property.
A core component of Cisco Secure Borderless Network, Cisco IPS collaborates with other key network
components for end-to-end network-wide protection. Threat information is shared between Cisco IPS and
host-based IPS Cisco Security Agent and Cisco wireless controller. Available as a dedicated appliance, Cisco
IPS is also integrated into Cisco firewall, switch, and router platforms for maximum protection and deployment
flexibility.
This inline, network-based defense can identify, classify, and stop known and unknown threats, including worms,
network viruses, application threats, system intrusion attempts, and application misuse.

Cisco IPS Sensors and Cisco IPS Sensor Software deliver high-performance, intelligent threat detection and
protection. Cisco IPS with Global Correlation uses global threat information that has been turned into actionable
intelligence, such as reputation scores, and pushed out to all enabled technologies. Reputation filtering and
global inspection give Cisco IPS 7.0 several advantages:
Twice the effectiveness of signature-only intrusion prevention systems
More accurate with fewer false-positives using reputation
100 times faster than traditional signature-only methods
This technology provides metrics in both multimedia and transactional environments, so organizations can
anticipate true IPS performance tailored to their business. The sensors can be deployed widely and
incrementally on servers and endpoints, as dedicated appliances and as service modules on routers, switches,
and firewalls. They collaborate and adapt in real time to emerging threats.
In addition, with Cisco Services for IPS, organizations easily manage their IPS deployment with near-real time
updates to the most recent threats.
Ideal for Companies That Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
Pervasive network integrationCisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) solutions defeat threats from
multiple vectors, including network, server, and desktop endpoints. The solutions extend across Cisco
platforms, from purpose-built appliances to services modules integrated into firewall and routers and
switches. A Cisco IPS solution protects the network from policy violations, vulnerability exploitations, and
anomalous activity through detailed inspection of traffic at Layers 2 through 7, across the entire network.
Collaborative threat preventionA Cisco IPS solution employs a unique, system-wide security ecosystem
that assesses and reacts to threats, delivering exceptional network scalability and resiliency. This ubiquitous
alliance includes cross-solution feedback linkages, common policy management, multivendor event
correlation, attack-path identification, passive-active fingerprinting, and host-based (Cisco Security Agent)
IPS collaboration.
Proactive posture adaptationAs an organizations network threat posture changes, a Cisco IPS solution
evolves and adapts to stay ahead of the security landscape, mitigating threats by both known and unknown
attacks. Extensive behavioral analysis, anomaly detection, policy adjustments, and rapid threat-response
techniques save time, resources, and most importantly, the organization's assets and productivity.
NOTE: IPS technology strategically deployed throughout the network provides excellent end-to-end, zero-day
protection. A Cisco IPS solution protects an organizations infrastructure and business.

Secure Access
Secure your networks and services with Cisco TrustSec context-based access control for users and devices.
Cisco TrustSec technology allows organizations to enforce compliance, strengthen security, increase
operational efficiency and establish a consistent global access policy while embracing the changing business
environment:
Growth in user demand for mobility and device choices
Use and deployment of IP-enabled devices
A complex workforce of employees, partners, and guests
Convergence of wired and wireless environments
Increased use of virtual network devices, services, and cloud-based access
Cisco TrustSec software can be deployed as an appliance-based overlay mode where a set of appliances
provide the access control on top of an existing network infrastructure, or as a network-integrated 802.1X mode
where authentication, authorization, and enforcement occur on the network. The Cisco TrustSec architecture
includes three pillars:
Identity contextAbility to identify who and what is in your network based on a variety of attributes such as
user, posture, location, access type, device type and more. These richer set of attributes provides the true
role of a user or device in the network. This context-awareness is derived from the networking
infrastructure in the case of the 802.1X network-integrated solution, with consistent identity features
supported across all Cisco switch platforms. In the overlay mode, context awareness is provided through
the NAC agent intelligence.
Authorization and enforcementThe next step after organizations have visibility into who and what is in the
network is the ability to allow them into appropriate parts of the network. Cisco offers the traditional
authorization options at ingress using VLANs and downloadable ACLs. Additionally, Cisco also offers
Security Group Access, the ability to authorize users with security group tags that define their role in the
organization. When user traffic has these tags, any device in the network can enforce based on the tags at
egress. It is operationally more scalable than the traditional authorization options.
Data integrityThe third component of the Cisco TrustSec architecture is data integrity and confidentiality
through MACSec or 802.1AE, including the ability to tie your policy to encryption; for example, allowing
users access to the network based on the ability to encrypt from endpoint to switch. In addition, switch-to-
switch encryption from access to data center switches and between data centers protects data throughout
the entire network.
Cisco TrustSec software integrates with the SecureX architecture to allow the Cisco security portfolio to take
advantage of network-based identity context for full context-aware firewalling and policy enforcement.

Cisco NAC Appliance (formerly Cisco Clean Access) is an easily deployed Network Admission Control (NAC)
product that uses the network infrastructure to enforce security policy compliance on all devices seeking to
access network computing resources. With NAC Appliance, network administrators can authenticate, authorize,
evaluate, and remediate wired, wireless, and remote users and their machines prior to network access. It
identifies whether networked devices such as laptops, IP phones, or game consoles are compliant with your
network's security policies and repairs any vulnerabilities before permitting access to the network.
Cisco NAC has several core components, with additional optional components for enhanced capabilities.
Cisco NAC ServerThis device initiates assessment and enforces access privileges based on endpoint
compliance. Users are blocked at the port layer and restricted from accessing the trusted network until they
successfully pass inspection. The Cisco NAC Server is available in seven sizes based on the number of
online, concurrent users: 100, 250, 500, 1500, 2500, 3500, and 5000 users. A single company can have
several servers of differing sizes; for example, a headquarters building would require a 1500-user Cisco
NAC Server, while a branch office for the same company might only require a 100-user server.

Ideal for Companies That Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
Authentication integration with single sign-onCisco NAC serves as an authentication proxy for most forms
of authentication, natively integrating with Kerberos, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), RADIUS,
Active Directory, S/Ident, and others. Cisco NAC supports single sign-on for VPN clients, wireless clients,
and Windows Active Directory domains.
Vulnerability assessmentCisco NAC supports scanning of all Windows, Mac OS, and Linux-based
operating systems and machines, as well as non-PC networked devices such as game consoles, PDAs,
printers, and IP phones. It conducts network-based scans or can use custom-built scans as required. Cisco
NAC can check for any application as identified by registry key settings, services running, or system files.
Device quarantineCisco NAC can place noncompliant machines into quarantine. Quarantine can be
accomplished by using subnets as small as /30, or by using a quarantine VLAN.
Automatic security policy updatesAutomatic security policy updates that are part of Cisco's standard
software maintenance package provide predefined policies for the most common network access criteria,
including policies that check for critical operating system updates, common antivirus software virus
definition updates, and common antispyware definition updates.
Centralized ManagementThe Cisco NAC web-based management console allows administrators to
define the types of scans required for each role, as well as the related remediation packages necessary for
recovery. One management console can manage multiple servers.
Remediation and RepairQuarantining gives devices access to remediation servers that can provide
operating system patches and updates, virus definition files, or endpoint security solutions such as Cisco
Security Agent. Administrators can enable automated remediation through the optional agent, or specify a
series of remediation instructions. In addition, Cisco NAC delivers user-friendly features, such as the
monitoring mode and silent remediation, to minimize user impact.
Flexible Deployment ModesCisco NAC offers the broadest array of deployment modes to fit into any
customer network. Customers can deploy the product as a virtual or real IP gateway, at the edge or centrally,
with Layer 2 or Layer 3 client access, and in-band or out-of-band with network traffic.
Cisco TrustSec Planning and Design Service from Cisco and our partners helps you customize and
successfully deploy your TrustSec solution based on the Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) appliance
and take full advantage of the available features.

Cisco Secure Access Control System (ACS) is a highly scalable, high-performance access policy system that
centralizes device administration, authentication, and user access policy and reduces the management and
support burden for these functions.
Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 is the second release of this next-generation network identity and access solution. This
release establishes Cisco Secure ACS as a Policy Administration Point (PAP) and Policy Decision Point (PDP)
for policy-based access control. Release 5.1 offers additional capabilities, including:
A powerful, attribute-driven rules-based policy model that addresses complex policy needs in a flexible
manner
A lightweight, web-based graphical user interface (GUI) with intuitive navigation and workflow
Integrated advanced monitoring, reporting, and troubleshooting capabilities for maximum control and
visibility
Improved integration with external identity and policy databases, including Windows Active Directory and
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-accessible databases, simplifying policy configuration and
maintenance
A distributed deployment model that enables large-scale deployments and provides a highly available
solution
The Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 rules-based policy model supports the application of different authorization rules
under different conditions, and thus policy is contextual and not limited to authorization determined by a single
group membership. New integration capabilities allow information in external databases to be directly
referenced in access policy rules, and attributes can be used both in policy conditions and authorization rules.
Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 features centralized collection and reporting for activity and system health information
for full manageability of distributed deployments. It supports proactive operations such as monitoring and
diagnostics, and reactive operations such as reporting and troubleshooting. Advanced features include a
deployment-wide session monitor, threshold-based notifications, entitlement reports, and diagnostic tools.
Key Features and Benefits
Complete access control and confidentiality solutionCan be deployed with other Cisco TrustSec
components-including policy components, infrastructure enforcement components, endpoint components,
and professional services-for a comprehensive access control and confidentiality solution.
AAA protocolsCisco Secure ACS 5.1 supports two distinct protocols for authentication, authorization, and
accounting (AAA). Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 supports RADIUS for network access control and TACACS+ for
network device access control. Cisco Secure ACS is a single system for enforcing access policy across the
network.
Database optionsCisco Secure ACS 5.1 supports an integrated user repository in addition to supporting
integration with existing external identity repositories such as Windows Active Directory and LDAP. Multiple
databases can be used concurrently for maximum flexibility in enforcing access policy.
Authentication protocolsCisco Secure ACS 5.1 supports a wide range of authentication protocols
including PAP, MS-CHAP, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-MD5, Protected EAP (PEAP), EAP-
Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (FAST), and EAP-Transport Layer Security (TLS) to support
your authentication requirements.
Access policiesCisco Secure ACS 5.1 supports a rules-based, attribute-driven policy model that
provides greatly increased power and flexibility for access control policies that may include authentication
protocol requirements, device restrictions, time of day restrictions, posture validation, and other access
requirements. Cisco Secure ACS may apply downloadable access control lists (dACLs), VLAN
assignments, and other authorization parameters.
Centralized managementCisco Secure ACS 5.1 supports a completely redesigned lightweight, web-
based GUI that is easy to use. An efficient, incremental replication scheme quickly propagates changes
from primary to secondary systems providing centralized control over distributed deployments. Software
upgrades are also managed through the GUI and can be distributed by the primary system to secondary
instances.
Monitoring and troubleshootingCisco Secure ACS 5.1 includes an integrated monitoring, reporting, and
troubleshooting component that is accessible through the web-based GUI. This tool provides maximum
visibility into configured policies and authentication and authorization activities across the network. Logs
are viewable and exportable for use in other systems as well.
Platform optionsCisco Secure ACS 5.1 is available as a closed and hardened Linux-based appliance or
as a software operating system image for VMware ESX.
Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) Express
Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) Express is an entry-level RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) server for retail branch locations, enterprise branch offices, and small and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that have fewer than 350 users and 50 devices.

The Cisco IronPort S-Series Web Security Appliance provides multiple layers of defense against these risks,
both horizontally (at the application layer) and vertically (up the protocol stack). Cisco IronPort Web Usage
Controls enforce acceptable-use policy (AUP), while Cisco Security Intelligence Operations, Cisco IronPort
Web Reputation Filters, and the Cisco IronPort Anti-Malware Systemwith simultaneous scanning by Sophos,
Webroot, and McAfee for greater efficacyprovide protection against web-based malware.
The Cisco IronPort S-Series also offers comprehensive coverage for the three most common protocols
carrying business information across the boundary and over the Internet: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. Finally, the
Layer 4 Traffic Monitor detects and blocks phone-home malware activity that attempts to circumvent port 80
security features. With threats becoming more complex and sophisticated, Cisco IronPort S-Series appliances
offer one of the industry's most comprehensive Web security protection and enterprise-class performance.
Ideal for Companies That Need These Features
Key Features and Benefits
Single appliance security and controlThe Cisco IronPort S-Series offers a single appliance solution to
secure and control the three greatest web traffic risks facing enterprise networks: security risks, resource
risks, and compliance risks.
Mitigation of malware risks and costsWith malware infecting approximately 75 percent of corporate
desktops, overhead for managing infected desktops, ensuring minimal downtime to employees, and
minimizing the risk of information leakage is considerable.
Reduced administrative costsBy stopping these threats at the network perimeter with Cisco IronPort Web
Security Appliances, enterprises can significantly reduce the administrative costs, prevent attacker phone-
home activity on networks, reduce support calls, enhance worker productivity, and also eliminate the
business exposure that accompanies these threats.
Complete, accurate protectionCisco IronPort S-Series appliances are designed from the beginning to
address the broadest range of web-based malware threats, including those from the use of FTP and
dynamic Web 2.0 sites. A multilayered defense that includes Cisco Security Intelligence Operations, Cisco
IronPort Web Usage Controls, Cisco IronPort Web Reputation Filters, and Cisco IronPort DVS technology
(with multiple antimalware scanning engines running simultaneously) helps ensure industry-leading
accuracy.
This multilayered protection is based on a comprehensive content application layer inspection, as well as
network layer pattern detection, checking both inbound and outbound activities. These innovations make the
Cisco IronPort S-Series one of the industry's most secure web gateways.
Enforcement of acceptable use policiesBy implementing acceptable use web policies, enterprises can
both conserve resources for work-related web usage and inform employees to help shape web access
behavior over time. Enterprises can increase the amount of time that employees spend on business-
oriented activities, reducing misuse of enterprise networks and bandwidth.
Simplified data securityThe data-loss problem extends well beyond malware. Employees can easily use
webmail to send a message including proprietary information, post confidential data on social networks and
blogs, or transfer financial documents over FTP to a server outside the corporate network. Making sure that
sensitive data does not leave the corporate boundary-while allowing employees to take advantage of the full
power of the Internet-is an important and challenging problem to solve.
Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliances enable organizations to take quick, easy steps to enforce common-
sense data security policies for outbound traffic on HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP, as well as enabling simple
interoperability with major dedicated DLP solutions.

5-22 Chapter 5: Security

Mobile security across borderless networksThe Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility solution supports a
wide range of desktops and mobile devices, helping ensure that web security continues to be enforced as
employees change which devices they use. By using a standardized security solution for employees
whether they are in the office or mobile, IT can also streamline security operations for a compelling TCO.
SaaS access controlsThe Cisco IronPort solution uses a standards-based authentication mechanism to
bring sign-on under the control of your enterprise. Taking advantage of the employee credentials and
access rights stored in the local directory, either Active Directory or LDAP, administrators retain control over
access rights, and employees get a transparent experience using their corporate username and password
for accessing all applications.
Reporting visibilityThe Cisco IronPort S-Series appliances deliver real-time and historical security
information, allowing administrators to quickly understand web traffic activity. Real-time reports let
administrators identify and track factors such as policy and security violations as they occur. Historical
reports allow administrators to identify trends and report on efficacy and return on investment (ROI).
Enterprise-scale performanceCisco IronPort Web Security Appliances scale to meet the unique
scanning needs of web traffic, thereby helping ensure that the employee's experience is maintained. Cisco
offers industry-leading performance through its proprietary Cisco IronPort AsyncOS platform, an
enterprise-grade web proxy and cache file system as well as an intelligent, multicore engine for rapid
content scanning. Consequently, the Cisco IronPort S-Series is a platform that can address the capacity
requirements of even the largest of enterprises.
Low TCOTraditional solutions typically require multiple appliances or servers to protect against security,
resource, and compliance risks. Unlike other solutions, the Cisco IronPort S-Series provides a single
platform that contains a complete, in-depth defense-along with all the necessary management tools-
significantly reducing initial and ongoing TCO.
Reduced administrative overheadDesigned to minimize administrative overhead, Cisco IronPort Web
Security Appliances offer easy setup and management with an intuitive GUI, support for automated
updates, and comprehensive monitoring and alerting. The solution is also easy to deploy and configure to
match corporate-specific policies.

Remote worker solutions from Cisco boost flexibility and productivity and extend the enterprise by delivering
secure, rich, and manageable network services to teleworkers and employees working outside the traditional
office environment. By providing full IP phone, wireless, data, and video services, Cisco Virtual Office provides a
smooth, office-caliber experience to staff, wherever they may be located.
The Cisco Virtual Office solution consists of the following components:
A remote-site presence with a Cisco 800 Series Integrated Services Router and a Cisco Unified IP Phone
7900 Series phone.
Headend presence remote-site aggregation includes a VPN router and centralized management software
for policy, configuration, and identity controls. Cisco and approved partners provide deployment and
ongoing services for successful deployment and integration as well as consultative guidance for automating
the deployment.
Deployment Options
Cisco Virtual Office includes provisioning and management through numerous management tools that provide
the ability to define network-wide policy, use identity for authorization, and actively update configurations at
remote sites.
Cisco Virtual Office Express refers to a simplified architecture to address initial installation steps. It extends the
same network services available through the Cisco Virtual Office solution but is distinct in its ability to quickly
set up the secured connections between sites. Cisco Virtual Office Express has a reduced number of
management and headend components to provide rich functions while keeping operating costs low.
Solution Benefits
The Cisco Virtual Office solution addresses many of the requirements associated with remote working for both
end users and organizations alike. In doing so, it also provides benefits across three distinct organizational
groups:
For end usersCisco Virtual Office allows schedule flexibility and improves work/life balance by providing
the ability to work at home or on the road. The solution also provides integrated family support with multiple
Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) for wireless and separate VLANs for a secure split-tunneling.
For IT groupsCisco Virtual Office simplifies the process of extending real-time, high-performance
network services to remote locations. These services are delivered without any compromise to the overall
security policy. Traffic is protected through VPN technologies, and authorization to access corporate
resources is managed through strict identity controls. This solution also provides architecture for
centralized, simplified management and operations, and contributes to improved scalability security and
low total cost of ownership. For example, Cisco IT effectively supports more than 20,000 Cisco Virtual Office
deployments with just a handful of resources. This support is particularly important because users at these

5-30 Chapter 5: Security

locations have heightened expectations for the delivery of virtual office services, and these locations
typically do not have IT staff for onsite support. For an even simpler deployment model, Cisco Virtual Office
Express comprises a single, integrated device that results in initial cost savings as well as investment
protection in the form of the scalability and modularity of the routers as business needs expand. With only
one management solution to learn, training needs are minimized and ongoing operations are simplified.
For businesses and organizationsThis solution improves productivity of the workforce while saving costs
associated with energy, facilities, and real estate. It also enables better business resiliency, allowing the
workforce to stay secure and connected if employees cannot get to the office or are traveling.
A Differentiated Solution
Teleworkers and technology that enables teleworking has existed for many years, but the solutions in the past
have typically lacked a critical component, creating a barrier to adoption. Perhaps the solution is not robust
enough to handle communication and collaboration applications. Perhaps it lacks the proper security controls
to comply with corporate standards. Or perhaps it does not use unified communications or wireless
technologies, making it less convenient. Cisco Virtual Office delivers a truly comprehensive solution that
addresses each of these concerns, providing mutual benefits to the end user, the IT departmentand
ultimatelythe business.

location based on a schedule.
For example, an education customer can create different event policies for different schools. Each policy
can include the alarm type (such as motion detection) together with the cameras assigned to the location of
a specific school. A schedule can also be associated with the event policy so events are logged only after
normal working hours. If each school has different working hours, the user can create multiple schedules
and assign them to the event policy for each school.
NTP configurationThe Network Time Protocol (NTP) server can be configured for all Cisco Physical
Access Gateway modules, or for selected modules, over the network using Cisco Physical Access
Manager.
Enrollment reader interfaceCisco now supports two methods of quickly enrolling new users into the
Cisco Physical Access Manager database: optical scanners and proximity card enrollment readers.
- The optical scanner allows badge administrators to scan government-issued drivers license ID cards.
Data from the cards, such as the name and address, is automatically extracted and populated into the
new personnel records.
- Proximity card enrollment readers allow proximity badge data such as facility code and ID to
automatically populate into the new or existing personnel record, saving valuable time during enrollment.

Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3100 Series and the Cisco
Catalyst Blade Switch 3000 Series are specifically designed
to meet the rigors of blade server application infrastructure.
The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3000 Series provides cost-
effective gigabit Ethernet connectivity, while the Cisco
Catalyst Blade Switch 3100 series provides high performance 10Gb Ethernet connectivity and innovative
Virtual Blade Switch (VBS) technology. The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switches help address the problems of server
sprawl within the data center infrastructure.
These servers allow mixing and matching of Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, providing
customers with a cost-effective migration path. Switch capacity can be incrementally upgraded as server
needs demand. Cisco blade switches are optimized for IBM, HP, Dell, and FSC storage environments. These
products introduce an innovative new technology called the virtual blade switch (VBS), which allows up to 8
physical switches to be combined into a single logical switch. These products represent the foundation of the
many additional functions that the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3100 Series delivers.
Key Features and Benefits
The VBS is self-managing and self-configuringWhen switches are added or removed, the master switch
automatically loads the Cisco IOS Software version running on the VBS to the new switch, loads the global
configuration parameters, and updates all the routing tables to reflect changes. Upgrades are applied
universally and simultaneously to all members of the VBS.
The VBS is highly resilientEach switch can operate both as master controller and as forwarding
processor. Each switch in the VBS can serve as a master, creating a 1:N availability scheme for network
control. In the unlikely event of a single-unit failure, all other units continue to forward traffic and maintain
operation.
The VBS offers industry-leading mechanisms for marking, classification, and scheduling to deliver superior
performance for data, voice, and video traffic, all at wire speed.
The VBS supports a comprehensive set of security features for connectivity and access control, including
access control lists (ACLs), authentication, port-level security, and identity-based network services with
IEEE 802.1x and extensions. This set of features not only helps prevent external attacks, but also defends the
network against man-in-the-middle attacks. The VBS-enabled switch also supports the Cisco Network
Admission Control (NAC) security framework.
The VBS-enabled switch is managed as a single object and has a single IP address.

Data Center Management
The newly converged Cisco Data Center Network Manager provides
visibility into LAN and SAN data center networks covering Cisco Nexus,
Cisco MDS, Cisco Catalyst, and Cisco UCS product families. With
introduction of VMware and Cisco UCS discovery, Cisco now offers end-to-
end path monitoring from virtual infrastructure and compute through the
fabric and down to the storage port. Storage and network teams will now
have a unified solution for troubleshooting and managing port and
bandwidth capacity across the Cisco portfolio of the data center network
and compute products. Both teams will still maintain individual controls for
monitoring and provisioning of their respective domains through role-
based access controls of the MDS and Cisco Nexus lines of switches.
Capacity Management
- Cisco DCNM helps track port inventory and port usage. IT staff can identify available ports for
provisioning from a single dashboard. SAN administrators can also see where more ports are needed
and make buying decisions based on this information.
- By looking at port usage, SAN administrators can identify orphaned ports by looking at their statistics
over time. Reclaiming underused ports leads to power and cooling savings and increases port usage.
Fault Management
- The Cisco DCNM event forwarding mechanism will notify data center support staff of events based on
their severity and type in real time through a trap or email. The descriptive events help IT staff identify

bottlenecks and error conditions on the network in real time, leading to quicker root-cause analysis and
long-term fixes.
Configuration and Provisioning
- Wizard- and template-based configuration and provisioning facilitates deployment and maintenance of
Cisco MDS and Cisco Nexus switches. IT staff can configure the network components in a few minutes
across multiple switches.
Reporting
- The reporting feature of Cisco DCNM consists of canned reports as well as the ability to generate custom
reports summarizing health and performance of the fabric. These reports can be exported as comma
delimited files for use in Excel or as HTML pages. The reports can also be scheduled to run at certain
times and forwarded through email.
Backup, Compare, and Restore
- Cisco DCNM also serves as a configuration backup repository for Cisco Nexus and MDS switches with
the ability to compare, edit, and copy back switch configurations. The feature simplifies recovery of the
switch configuration files as well as pushing saved configurations to newly deployed switches, leading to
quick deployments.
Licensing
- Cisco DCNM can be licensed as DCNM for SAN or DCNM for LAN.
- FMS licenses are grandfathered in, so there is no need to move to a DCNM license model if the customer
already purchased FMS licenses. However, Cisco DCNM will not support any new purchase of FMS
licenses starting mid-2011 with Cisco NX-OS 5.2 and later.
Integration
- The Cisco DCNM is also highly integrated solution providing SMI-S and web services APIs for integration
with other management applications. In addition, Cisco DCNM publishes its database schema for direct
extract, load, and transform (ETL) into other databases and business intelligence solutions.
Scalability
- The Cisco Data Center Network Manager converged solution is highly scalable through the use of the
federation and server load balancing. On the SAN side the solution can scale up to 200 switches or 15,000
ports per server for a total of 150,000 ports when deployed in a federated mode.
Offering an unprecedented level of visibility and control through a single pane of glass for Cisco Nexus, Cisco
MDS, and Cisco UCS product families, Cisco Data Center Network Manager is the Cisco recommended
solution for operating mission-critical data centers.

As the demand for enterprise video technologies increases, organizations are facing more demands on their
network capacity and complexity in delivering video applications.
The Cisco

Enterprise Content Delivery System (ECDS) is a media delivery system that helps organizations
easily scale video and media delivery over their existing WAN infrastructure. For both data and video
optimization, Cisco ECDS can be deployed with Cisco WAAS, providing a complete WAN optimization solution.
Cisco ECDS helps customers:
Scale delivery of applications such as e-learning, training, corporate communications, live webcasts, and
digital signage, among others, for large audiences and remote sites
Deliver live and video-on-demand media in various formats to multiple endpoints throughout the
enterprise network
Reduce capital spending in large-scale streaming server and data center infrastructure
Reduce operational costs through integration with media applications and also optimize storage
requirements and bandwidth for streaming
Extend the reach and quality of the media experience through the enterprise while maintaining a predictable
WAN network behavior.
Cisco ECDS consists of a distributed system of components, including the Service Engine, the Content Delivery
System Manager (CDS Manager), and the Service Router, to efficiently provide live video streaming scalability,
video on demand (VoD), content prepositioning, and dynamic caching of video content over the corporate WAN
to remote sites.
Cisco ECDS is a versatile media delivery platform with support for Adobe Flash, Windows Media, Apple
QuickTime, and the H.264 video compression standard. With support for seamless scalability and resiliency
through its service routing capability, Cisco ECDS offers various choices to support a range of sites, from those
with fewer than 25 users to large campuses with thousands of users.
Cisco Enterprise Content Delivery System Applications
The Cisco ECDS consists of three main applications.
Service Engine
The Service Engine provides edge content streaming, caching, and download to various endpoint devices
such as PCs, Macs, and digital signs, among others. Content streaming support includes live and video on
demand (VoD) for Adobe Flash, Windows Media, Apple QuickTime, and H.264 formats. The Service Engine
also provides the point of entry into ECDS for ingesting live streams. Through the optional content acquisition
subsystem, the platform dynamically fetches content on demand using prefetch and prepositioning options.
Service Router
The Service Router mediates requests from the endpoint clients. It is responsible for choosing the most
appropriate service engine based on location and load conditions of individual service engines.

The Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router addresses the volume, capacity,
and complexity of large cable headends or distribution hubs. The router delivers the
highest level of service availability and capacity of any production cable modem
termination system (CMTS) available today. It employs a mix of distributed, centralized,
and parallel processing to facilitate consistently high, real-world performance. The
Cisco uBR10012 is CableLabs qualified to PacketCable 1.1 and DOCSIS 2.0
specifications. The product is also qualified for EuroDOCSIS 2.0, and DOCSIS 3.0
Bronze specifications and full DOCSIS3.0 compliance.
The Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router powers the worlds largest DOCSIS 3.0
downstream channel bonding install base, with more than 1 million revenue-generating
subscribers and counting. The combination of the 20 downstream cards, 20 upstream RF
cards, the 24 downstream channel bonding cards (wideband shared port adapter [SPA]),
and the DOCSIS Timing Interface (DTI) card on the Cisco uBR10012, allows the deployment of DOCSIS 1.1 and
2.0 modems along with the new DOCSIS 3.0 modems for downstream channel bonding over low-cost video-on-
demand (VoD) edge quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) ports.
The new Cisco uBR-MC3GX60V Broadband Processing Engine (BPE) is a high-capacity, DOCSIS 3.0-capable
line card for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router. With 72 DOCSIS downstream and 60 upstream
channels per card, the uBR-MC3GX60V BPE sets a new benchmark for scalable, faster, and cost-effective
DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) solutions. With the addition of the uBR-MC3GX60V BPE,
the Cisco uBR10012 platform scales to an unprecedented 576 modular DOCSIS downstream channels and
480 upstream channels, or approximately 24 Gbps of downstream throughput and 14.4 Gbps of upstream
throughput, in a single, carrier- class chassis.
The Cisco uBR10012 CMTS with the uBR-MC3GX60V BPE delivers 10 times the capacity and 20 times the
speed of DOCSIS 2.0 solutions at only a fraction of the cost. Because it bonds 24 DOCSIS channels (or 18
EuroDOCSIS channels) per bonding group, the solution allows cable operators to deliver ultra-broadband
services with maximum downstream speeds approaching 1.0 Gbps per subscriber. A fully loaded Cisco
uBR10012 CMTS with the Cisco uBR-MC3GX60V BPE can deliver 500 HDTV channels, video-on-demand (VoD),
and ultra-broadband services to 20,000 homes.
With new hardware support of the Cisco 10000 Performance Routing Engine 4 (PRE4) processor, the 10 Gigabit
Ethernet WAN card, and the 6-wideband SPA carrier starting in January 2009, the Cisco uBR10012 Universal
Broadband Router provides a maximum of 304 downstream ports per chassis to meet ever-increasing IP data,
voice, and video bandwidth needs.

With the uBR-MC3GX60V line card, Cisco provides true cost flexibility for operators with licensing options that offer a pay-as-you-
grow model. The software licensing capability combined with the adaptability of the modular CMTS architecture allows a
customer to turn up and move ports and bandwidth to different service groups as needed, without fear of stranding downstream
or upstream ports. The base hardware and 16 upstream and 16 downstream channel licenses constitute the minimum
configuration supported. Additional optional licenses are available for purchase up to the full capacity of 72 DOCSIS downstream
(or 54 Euro DOCSIS downstream) and 60 upstream channels.

The Cisco

Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) 50, CPT
200, and CPT 600 set the industry benchmark as
a carrier-class converged access and
aggregation platform for Cisco Unified Packet
Transport architectures. The Cisco CPT product
family represents an exciting new paradigm in the
world of packet transport, with exceptional pay-
as-you-grow scalability, carrier-class reliability,
incredible flexibility, and TDM-like ease of packet service provisioning, OAM, and protection capability.
The CPT platform has great revenue potential for service providers by providing TDM-like Ethernet private lines
as well as multipoint capabilities for business, residential, mobile backhaul, data center, and video services.
These next-generation services can be readily deployed at low operational costs using the Cisco Transport
Controller and Cisco Transport Manager tools that allow fast and simple network turn-up, A-to-Z provisioning,
and OAM features. First to market with advanced standards-based MPLS-Transport Profile (TP) management
for Ethernet aggregation and transport, MPLS-TP combines the feature richness of MPLS with the simplicity of
transport operational models.
The Cisco CPT 200 and CPT 600 can be configured with integrated DC or AC power inputs. The DC power
module has inputs for redundant A and B feeds. The integrated AC power module has a single input, and is
universal in that it accepts a power input ranging from 110 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz. With its front-facing
connections, the Cisco CPT 200 and CPT 600 is ideal for cabinet installations and ETSI front connection
requirements, making this platform truly global.
In addition to MPLS-TP, the CPT product portfolio can support IP/MPLS and native Ethernet-based transport
solutions, giving customers data- and control-plane flexibility as the network evolves. Its small form, simplicity,
unique set of integrated features, and low power consumption reduce capital and operational expenditures.
The CPT Family reduces total cost of ownership based on its innovative satellite architecture that centralizes
the management and allows scalable Ethernet fan-out.
The Cisco CPT 50 Series satellite panel can be an extension of the Cisco CPT 200 or CPT 600 Packet
Transport Fabric and Modules, thereby extending the service interface up by a factor of 10. The Cisco CPT
architecture is designed to provide a la carte options to deploy packet transport, MSTP, or OTN switched
networks, allowing the customer to reduce day-one costs and grow capabilities as required.

Flexible Ethernet services
Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs): Ethernet services are supported using individual EVCs
to carry traffic belonging to a specific service type or end user through the network. EVC-
based services can be used in conjunction with MPLS-based L2VPNs and native Ethernet
switching deployments.
Flexible VLAN classification: VLAN classification into Ethernet flow points (EFPs) includes
single-tagged VLANs, double-tagged VLANs (QinQ and 802.1ad), contiguous VLAN ranges,
and noncontiguous VLAN lists.
IEEE Bridging: The line cards support native bridging based on IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1ad,
and QinQ VLAN encapsulation mechanisms.
Resilient Ethernet protocol (REP): The REP provides a resilient, fast-convergence mechanism
for aggregating and connecting to Ethernet-based access rings.
L2VPN services
MPLS-TP Circuit with Ethernet over MPLS-TP (EoMPLS-TP): EoMPLS-TP transports Ethernet
frames across an MPLS-TP LSPs using pseudowires. Individual EFPs or traffic from an entire
port can be transported over an MPLS-TP network using pseudowires to an egress
interface or sub-interface.
Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS): These services are included in a class of VPN that
supports the connection of multiple sites in a single bridged domain over a MPLS-TP
network. VPLS presents an Ethernet interface to customers, simplifying the LAN and WAN
boundary for service providers and customers, and enabling rapid and flexible service
provisioning, because the service bandwidth is not tied to the physical interface. All
services in a VPLS appear to be on the same LAN, regardless of location.
Pseudowire redundancy: Pseudowire redundancy supports the definition of a backup
pseudowire to protect a primary pseudowire in case of failure.
Multi-segment pseudowire stitching: Multi-segment pseudowire stitching is a method for
interworking two pseudowires together to form a cross-connect relationship.
Multicast
IGMP v2 and v3 snooping: This Layer 2 mechanism efficiently tracks multicast membership
on an L2VPN network. Individual IGMP joins are snooped at the VLAN level or pseudowire
level. In residential broadband deployments, this scenario enables the network to send only
channels that are being watched to downstream users.
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR): MVR optimizes the control plane (IGMP) load between
the router and switch. MVR feature enables switch to aggregate different JOINs received on
different VLANs (from the receivers) into one JOIN (on a single VLAN, which could be the
same as or different from the VLANs of the receiving ports) towards the router. The switch
then distributes (replicate) the received content into the relevant ports.
OA&M
IP/MPLS OA&M: Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV), Ping, and Traceroute
MPLS-TP OAM: The line cards support MPLS-TP OAM with GACH/GAL support. MPLS-TP
BFD OAM Support.
Ethernet OAM will be supported in a follow-up release as a software upgrade.
High Availability
MPLS-TP: 1:1 MPLS TP LSP delivers Layer 1 protection switching for networks with sub-
50ms APS switching for link, node, path failures.
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD): BFD is a detection protocol that is designed to
provide fast forwarding path-failure detection times for all media types, encapsulations,
topologies, and routing protocols.
802.3ad Link Aggregation Bundles: The line cards support a bundle of multiple links to
provide added resiliency and the ability to load balance traffic over multiple member links.
Manageability Cisco Transport Manager is the industry's most advanced optical transport domain manager.
It delivers the full power of the Cisco Carrier Packet Transport System products to a

different protocols and are otherwise unable to communicate. The mediator then normalizes the data into a
common data representation, enabling it to perform any-to-any protocol translation and provide information to
the end user in a uniform presentation.
This network-based framework creates a common, standards-based, open platform that then allows enterprise
applications, cloud services, and building and IT systems to communicate. Protocol agnostic, Cisco Mediator
extends the network to serve as an effective foundation for sustainability management.
Key Features and Benefits
Cisco Mediator supports Cisco EnergyWise technology to manage energy across IT and facilities.
The mediator supports network protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Simple
Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and XML.
The solution supports open standard building automation protocols such as BACnet and Modbus.
Cisco Mediator supports other third-party building automation protocols.
Any-to-any protocol translation allows communication between multivendor systems.
Cisco Mediator supports energy meters, including pulse meters and smart meters (Modbus or IP).
The solution allows for flexible integration of energy-generating and energy-consuming devices.
The solution provides tools to both monitor real-time energy consumption and create automated policies to
control it.
The solution supports automated demand response and automated fault diagnostics.
The platform is hardened and secured through the Cisco Self-Defending Network.
Role-based access control offers increased user security.
Communication is secured through certificate encryptions.
Cisco Mediator provides interactive, menu-directed tools that allow you to:
- Configure the interfaces and protocols on the mediator
- Create and edit schedules, alarms, logs, and trends
- Perform remote installation
- Back up and restore configuration
The solution provides a graphical programming tool that allows users with a working knowledge of controls
and automation to translate their knowledge into efficient and powerful control logic.
The management framework is web-based.
With this solution you can control and manage devices over the Internet.
Cisco Mediator presents real-time information in web-based graphical views.
With Cisco Mediator you can create customized webpages for facility operations management.
Cisco Mediator provides a standards-based open interface that allows third-party applications to integrate
with the mediator and offer services over the cloud. Examples of such cloud services include:
