Hardware devices that gather network data for Cisco WAPMS can be either Cisco WAPMS routers or Visual UpTime probe ASEs, or partner devices with embedded agent software. All client features appropriate for the interface of a Cisco WAPMS ASE model are available. Partner devices, however, may not have all Cisco WAPMS capabilities implemented. Consequently, some client features and functions—even if they support the device's interface—may not be available for that partner device.
Cisco WAPMS ASE Models and Features
Overview tables list IP Transport, Frame Relay/HDLC, and ATM ASEs supported by Cisco WAPMS with key characteristics, including RAM, DLCIs or circuits supported, and maximum port speed.
IP Transport
Table D-1 lists detailed information on supported IP Transport ASEs.
1Model 54 operates as two model 24 ASEs, 8 MB of RAM per ASE. The number of PVCs is listed for each individual ASE.
2Model 90 operates as two Multi-Protocol model 49 ASEs, 64 MB of RAM per ASE. The number of PVCs is listed for each individual ASE.

ASE and Partner Device License Information
ASEs and partner devices belong to specified license classes as noted in Table D-4. ASEs with hardware-based licenses are counted as License Class "0" in the PAM and ASEs or devices with PAM-based licenses are counted in the appropriate non-zero class. License classes 10 - 12 include both HDLC and Frame Relay-based IP Transport ASEs.
Note Cisco devices are licensed according to their currently configured link speed.
