The Cisco Universal Gateway Manager (Cisco UGM) provides a means to configure and manage fault, performance, and security of the Cisco AS5350, AS5400, AS5800, and AS5850 devices in your network.
Cisco UGM provides device- and port-specific alarm frequency and severity information. The fault management GUI supports point-and-click alarm acknowledgement and clearing functions, and also enables trap forwarding.
Configuration of system components
Cisco UGM provides various configuration services for the managed devices and their components. As objects are configured or modified, the database is automatically updated to reflect the current configuration of the network.
With Cisco UGM you can perform the following tasks:
Use the Cisco EMF Map Viewer to graphically view and inventory your managed Cisco AS5350, AS5400, AS5800, and AS5850 devices, and the Ethernet, modem card, DS0, DS1, and DS3 interfaces on those devices.
Graphically view and generate text reports on system performance.
Forward SNMP traps to multiple devices. Alarm events are generated from two sources: incoming SNMP traps from managed devices and internal alarms generated by Cisco UGM itself.
The Cisco EMF client is the device from which you can employ a remote X-terminal to access either another Cisco EMF client or the Cisco EMF server. You do not need a Cisco EMF client between your client and the Cisco EMF server, but doing so improves performance for large or medium deployments.
