Product Overview
The Cisco GSR Manager (CGM) software is an element management system for managing Cisco 12000 series routers. CGM works in conjunction with the Cisco Element Management Framework (Cisco EMF) to provide element management that enables service providers to plan, provision, and monitor network services on Cisco 12000 series routers. The Cisco 12000 series includes the following platforms, all sharing a similar architecture:
•
Cisco 12016—16-slot, carrier-class platform that supports Internet protocol (IP) switching capacity of 160 Gbps.
•Cisco 12012—12-slot, carrier-class platform that supports IP switching capacities ranging from 15 to 60 Gbps.
•Cisco 12008—8-slot, enterprise-class platform that supports IP switching capacities ranging from 10 to 40 Gbps.
CGM Features
CGM features include the following:
•AutoDiscovery—Automatically discovers existing Cisco 12000 series routers.
•CGM deployment—eases deployment of large networks by enabling template-based element configuration, operations, administration, and maintenance.
•CGM windows and wizards—Eliminate the need for operators to have detailed Cisco IOS software and SNMP-based knowledge for individual interface or system parameter commands.
•Comprehensive fault management system—Manages chassis, line card, and interface levels.
•Configuration Backup/Restore—Backs up and saves the running configuration of a device and its modules so that if a hardware failure occurs, you can restore configuration.
•Configuration Editor—Uploads and saves the running configuration on a device for editing.
•Configuration operations—Performs in bulk to numerous Cisco 12000 series routers.
•CGM Management—Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) Element Management of Cisco 12000 series routers using Cisco EMF windows.
•Interface profiles—Enables you to apply the same parameters to a large number of objects at one time.
•Layer 3 QoS support—Includes Committed Access Rate (CAR) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED).
•Line cards and interfaces— supports various line cards and interfaces, such as Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), packet-over-SONET (POS), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Digital Signal 3 (DS3), and Gigabit and Fast Ethernet.
•Cisco IOS releases—Easily downloads new software releases from CGM onto devices.
•PVCs and associated QoS profiles—Uploads existing PVCs and associated QoS profiles from any device into CGM.
•Subchassis discovery—Determines the physical chassis contents, such as line cards and interfaces.
