| MIBs | The Cisco NAMs are standards-compliant and support Remote Monitoring (RMON) and RMON2 MIBs, as well as several extensions. Major MIB groups supported in the Cisco NAMs are:
MIB-II (RFC 1213) - All groups except Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) and transmission RMON (RFC 2819) RMON2 (RFC 2021) SMON (RFC 2613) - DatasourceCaps and smonStats DSMON (RFC 3287) HC-RMON (RFC 3273) Application Response Time |
| Protocols | Cisco NAM provides RMON2 statistics on hundreds of unique protocols, including those defined in RFC 2896, and several Cisco proprietary protocols.
Cisco NAM automatically detects unknown protocols. Users have flexibility to customize the protocol directory by defining protocols on a single port or on a range of ports. Protocols supported include (this list is not all-inclusive): TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over IP including IPv6 HTTP and HTTPS Voice over IP (VoIP) including Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), Real time Protocol/Real Time Control Protocol (RTP/RTCP), Media Gateway control Protocol (MGCP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) SigTran and Mobile IP protocols Storage area network (SAN) protocols including Fibre Channel over TCP/IP AppleTalk, DECnet, Novell, Microsoft Database protocols, including Oracle and Sybase Peer-to-peer protocols such as Gnutella, Fasttrack, and winmix Bridge and router protocols Cisco proprietary protocols Unknown protocols by TCP/UDP ports, Remote Procedure Call (RPC) program numbers, and so on |
