nGenius Integrated Agent Functionality

Monitor Branch WAN & LAN Traffic Continuously monitor traffic destined to/from WAN from router backplane Optionally monitor LAN traffic from external Service Module interface Cisco ISR Cisco IOS Software Disk Resources CPU Memory GIGE Aux USB Eth1 NME or SRE Service Module AXP OS nGenius Integrated Agent Eth0 GIGE CPU Memory GIGE WAN ATM

The Value of Extending Visibility Using nGenius Integrated Agent for Cisco ISR Continuously monitor traffic destined for WAN Localized packet capture for troubleshooting LAN without dispatching a technician Enables more accurate response time analysis Facilitates site-to-site monitoring in decentralized networks (MPLS, VRF aware) Validates WAN optimized traffic Unified, end-to-end views and reporting Regain visibility to traffic going off net (cloud services) Layer 2-7 visibility Provides unified, pervasive and consistent visibility to the branch office and across the enterprise.

Screenshots

Branch site views Evidence retrieved from the alarm condition indicates poor response times for the “netscoute” application for the specific user at this branch office

Branch site-to-site data Key views for the remote branch office. Site-to-site traffic, application traffic, worst performing apps, and VoIP call details

Branch decode You can capture ad-hoc or event triggered data and filter down to the specific data you need, rather than bring everything across the WAN from your decode.
