With the Cisco Universal Gateway Manager (Cisco UGM), you can configure and manage the Cisco AS5300, AS5350, AS5400, AS5800, and AS5850 devices in your network.
Cisco UGM provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for network information and device management, including access to gateways functioning in the network.
This chapter contains the following topics:
The Cisco UGM product consists of two main components:
Each device provides ports through which users can access the network.
Cisco EMF is a client-server environment supporting various deployment options. The best configuration for you depends on the number of servers, clients, and users in your network.
From the Cisco EMF client, you can access another Cisco EMF client or the Cisco EMF server through a remote X-terminal. 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.
Cisco UGM provides a powerful range of network management capabilities, including support for network configuration, device and component management, fault and performance management, and security.
Cisco UGM provides various configuration services for the managed devices and their components:
Cisco UGM inventories and maintains a current record of network gateways and their managed components. This inventory data can be exported in a flat file. See "Deploying, Discovering, and Exporting Inventory Data with Cisco UGM."
Managed network components include the following:
Cisco UGM performs asynchronous database updates in response to network equipment configuration and status changes.
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. See "Managing Faults with Cisco UGM."
With the Cisco EMF event browser interface, you can consolidate alarm viewing and filtering, and view alarms and events on a color-coded topology map. Fault management functions include:
Cisco UGM collects performance information from each managed device and its components. This information allows you to monitor the network by viewing and graphing performance data associated with an object. See "Managing the Performance of Cisco UGM-Controlled Devices."
CiscoView also provides additional gateway statistics, including AAA statistics and both active and historical call statistics that complement the statistics provided by Cisco UGM. Cisco UGM can be used to launch CiscoView if it is available in the managed network.
Cisco UGM supports role-based access to its management functions. You can define user groups and assign users to these groups. This function also supports control of administrative state variables for Cisco UGM resources. See "Managing Security on Cisco UGM."
