Before you install Prime NAM, you must review the following sections:
The following sections contain information on Cisco SRE NAM specifications.
Cisco SRE NAM supports the following external software interfaces:
Cisco SRE NAM can be deployed in any network module slot in the Cisco router platforms listed in the following table. Only one Prime NAM can be installed in a Cisco branch router.

---|---|
Cisco 3945E ISR |
Cisco IOS 15.1(1T) |
Cisco 3925E ISR |
Cisco IOS 15.1(1T) |

Cisco 2951 ISR |
Cisco IOS 15.0(1)M |
Cisco 2921 ISR |

If you need to install the SM-SRE network module, see the following documents for detailed information:
The host router and network module use several interfaces for internal and external communication. Each interface is configurable both from the router by using the Cisco IOS CLI and from the module by using the module's CLI.
The Cisco SRE NAM can monitor traffic on both the external and the internal interface at the same time. However, only one can be used for management traffic.
On This Hardware Interface... | Configure These Settings... | Using This Configuration Method | |
1 | Router interface (for example, Gig0/0) | Standard router settings | Router's Cisco IOS CLI |
2 | Router side interface to SM-SRE. This is the sm interface on the router. | Module's IP address and default gateway router | |
3 | INTERNAL interface of the SM-SRE. This is a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface. | All other module and SM-SRE application settings | Module's SM-SRE CLI, GUI, telnet, SSH interface, or SNMP |
4 | EXTERNAL interface of the SM-SRE. This is a Gigabit Ethernet interface. | Support for data requests and transfers from outside sources |
Before you begin installing Prime NAM software, do the following:
Note | You need this information for Configuring the SRE Interface on the Router and Closing a Session . |
This section describes how to configure basic network parameters for the SRE service module using the Cisco IOS CLI. This section contains information on the following tasks:
Note | If you lose power or connection during any of the following procedures, the system usually detects the interruption and tries to recover. If it fails to do so, fully reinstall the system using IOS commands. See the Installing Cisco SRE NAM Using IOS Commands. You can configure the network module by means of either the CLI or the GUI. This document presents CLI configuration instructions. For GUI configuration instructions, see the GUI’s online help |
Your first configuration task is to set up network module interfaces to the host router and to its external links. This configuration enables you to access the module to install and configure the SRE service module.
Note | The first few steps open the host-router CLI and access the router’s interface to the module. The subsequent steps configure the interface. |

This section describes how to open a session on the SRE service module.
Note | Before you install your application software, opening a session brings up the bootloader. After you install the software, opening a session brings up the application. You can conduct only one session at a time. |
