SHUTDOWN Button
Caution Do not remove the NAM from the switch until the NAM has shut down completely and the STATUS LED is orange. You risk disk corruption if you remove the NAM from the switch before the NAM completely shuts down.
To avoid corrupting the NAM hard disk, you must correctly shut down the NAM before you remove it from the chassis or disconnect the power. This shutdown procedure is normally initiated by commands entered at the supervisor engine CLI prompt or the NAM CLI prompt.
Note If disk corruption occurs, you can recover the disk by reupgrading the application image with the --install option. See the "Upgrading the NAM Application Software with Catalyst Operating System Software" section on page 4-17 of the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and Cisco 7600 Series Router Network Analysis Module Installation and Configuration Note.
If the NAM fails to respond to these commands properly, press the SHUTDOWN button on the front panel to initiate the shutdown procedure.
The shutdown procedure may require several minutes. The STATUS LED turns off when the NAM shuts down.

Required Tools
Note Before installing the NAM, you must install the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis, the Catalyst 6000 series switch chassis, or the Cisco 7600 series router chassis, and at least one supervisor engine. For information on installing the switch chassis, refer to the chassis installation guide.
These tools are required to install the NAM in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, the Catalyst 6000 series switch, or the Cisco 7600 series routers:
•Flat-blade screwdriver
•Phillips-head screwdriver
•Wrist strap or other grounding device
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
Whenever you handle the NAM, always use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Installing and Removing the NAM
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
All Catalyst 6500 series switches, Catalyst 6000 series switches, and Cisco 7600 series routers support hot swapping, which allows you to install, remove, replace, and rearrange modules without turning off the system power. For more information, see the "Removing a Module" section.
Caution We recommend that you shut down the NAM before you remove the module.
When the system detects that a module has been installed or removed, the system automatically runs diagnostic tests and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes system operation.
To install and use the NAM, you need to complete the following actions:
•Perform the initial installation by placing the NAM in a switch.
•At the switch CLI, session to the NAM CLI, and provide a basic configuration.
•Send a data source to the NAM (NetFlow data, switch port analyzer [SPAN] ports, VLANs, or EtherChannels).
•Configure collection types that you want to monitor (RMON, voice, application response time, and other collection monitoring as required for your network).
•Configure alarms.
•View monitored statistics and alarms, and use packet capture or decode functionality.
This section describes how to install and verify the operation of the NAM in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, the Catalyst 6000 series switch, and the Cisco 7600 series router, it and contains the following sections:
•Slot Assignments
•Removing a Module
•Installing a Module
•Verifying the Installation
Slot Assignments
The Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switch chassis have 6 slots, the Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switch chassis
have 9 slots, and the Catalyst 6513 switch chassis has 13 slots. The NAM can occupy any slot that is not occupied by a supervisor engine in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, the Catalyst 6000 series switch, or Cisco 7600 series router.
Note The Catalyst 6509-NEB switch has vertical slots numbered 1 to 9 from right to left. Install the modules with the component side facing to the right.
Make sure that you install switching-module filler plates, which are blank switching-module carriers, in the empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
Removing a Module
This section describes how to remove an existing module from a chassis slot.
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1016
To remove a supervisor engine or module from the chassis, perform these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine or module.
Note The NAM does not have any interface cable connections.
Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.
This action ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the replacement module.
Step 3 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine or module.
Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b. Grasp the front edge of the module, and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Vertical slots
a. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers located at the top and bottom of the module, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b. Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Step 5 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it into another slot.
Step 6 If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.
Warning Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place. Statement 1029
Installing a Module
This section describes how to install modules in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, the Catalyst 6000 series switch, or the Cisco 7600 series router.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1016
To install a supervisor engine or module in the chassis, perform these steps:
Step 1 Choose a slot for the supervisor engine or module.
Step 2 Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the supervisor engine or module ports. If possible, place modules between empty slots that contain only module filler plates.
Step 3 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.
This action ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the opening space for the new module or the replacement module.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the replacement module.
Step 4 Remove the module filler plate by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate.
To remove a module, refer to the "Removing a Module" section.
Step 5 Fully open both ejector levers on the new or replacement module. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2 Positioning the Module in a Horizontal Slot Chassis
Step 6 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of these sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a. Position the supervisor engine or module in the slot. (See Figure 2.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.
b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine or module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees in relation to the module faceplate. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3 Clearing the EMI Gasket in a Horizontal Slot Chassis
c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers, and press down to create a small (0.040 inch [1 mm]) gap between the EMI gasket on the module and the module above it. (See Figure 3.)
Caution Do not press down too hard on the levers because they can bend and get damaged.
d. While pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the supervisor engine or module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 4.)
Figure 4 Ejector Lever Closure in a Horizontal Slot Chassis
Note Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.
e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine or module.
Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
Vertical slots
a. Position the supervisor engine or switching module in the slot. (See Figure 5.) Make sure that you align the sides of the switching module carrier with the slot guides on the top and bottom of the slot.
Figure 5 Positioning the Module in a Vertical Slot Chassis
b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine or module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the right edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot adjacent to it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 6.)
c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers, and press down to create a small (0.040 inch [1 mm]) gap between the EMI gasket on the module and the module adjacent to it. (See Figure 6.)
Figure 6 Clearing the EMI Gasket in a Vertical Slot Chassis
Caution Do not press down too hard on the levers because they can bend and get damaged.
d. While pressing on the ejector levers, simultaneously close them to fully seat the supervisor engine or module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 7.)
Figure 7 Ejector Lever Closure in a Vertical Slot Chassis
e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.
Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
Verifying the Installation
This section describes how to verify the NAM installation.
Cisco IOS Software
To verify that the system acknowledges the new module and has brought it online, enter the show module [mod-num | all] command.
This example shows the output of the show module command:
Mod Slot Ports Module-Type Model Sub Status
--- ---- ----- ------------------------- ------------------- --- --------
1 1 2 1000BaseX Supervisor WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2 yes ok
15 1 1 Multilayer Switch Feature WS-F6K-MSFC2 no ok
2 2 3 Network Analysis Module WS-SVC-NAM-1 no ok
When the NAM initially boots, by default it runs a partial memory test. To perform a full memory test, enter the hw-module module slot_number reset device:partition mem-test-full command. This command is specific to Cisco IOS software and is not available in Catalyst operating system software.
A full memory test takes more time to complete than a partial memory test depending on the memory size.
You also can use the hw-module module slot_number mem-test-full command in a system that uses the Cisco IOS software. This example shows how to perform a full memory test for module 5:
Router(config)# hw-module module 5 mem-test-full
Catalyst Operating System Software
To verify that the switch acknowledges the new NAM and has brought it online, enter the show module or show port [mod/port] command.
This example shows the output of the show module command:
Console> (enable) show module
Mod Slot Ports Module-Type Model Sub Status
--- ---- ----- ------------------------- ------------------- --- --------
1 1 2 1000BaseX Supervisor WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE yes ok
15 1 1 Multilayer Switch Feature WS-F6K-MSFC no ok
3 3 2 Network Analysis Module WS-SVC-NAM-1 no ok
5 5 48 10/100BaseTX Ethernet WS-X6248-RJ-45 no ok
When the NAM initially boots, by default it runs a partial memory test. For Catalyst operating system software, you can perform a full memory test when you enter the set boot device bootseq mod# mem-test-full command. This command is specific to Catalyst operating system software and is not available in Cisco IOS software. This example shows how to perform a full memory test:
Console (enable) set boot device cf:1 4 mem-test-full
Device BOOT variable = cf:1
Warning:Device list is not verified but still set in the boot string.
Note When specifying the boot device for the WS-SVC-NAM-1 and the WS-SVC-NAM-2, you must use hdd:1 for the application image and cf:1 for the maintenance image.
Console> (enable) show boot device 4
Device BOOT variable = cf:1
When you next reset the NAM, the full memory test runs. A full memory test takes more time to complete than a partial memory test.
This example shows how to reset the partial memory test:
Console> (enable) set boot device cf:1 4
Device BOOT variable = cf:1
Memory-test set to PARTIAL
Warning:Device list is not verified but still set in the boot string.
Console> (enable) show boot device 4
Device BOOT variable = cf:1
Memory-test set to PARTIAL

Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been encrypted with PGP versions 2.x through 9.x.
Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html
The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.
If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.
Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.
Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website
The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
