Network Performance Parameters

[gupta.abhishek]

Hi All,

Hi All,

I need your advise on following point:
1.     To measure network performance parameters (Availability, Packet Drop, Latency, and Jitter & Throughput) through NMS on Cisco device, what commands need to be configured on Cisco devices?
2.     Is it through IP SLA commands, does it require SNMP RW commands to be enabled instead of SNMP RO command?
3.     What activity would be required at NMS to fetch the data from Cisco device so as to generate performance reports from NMS tool? Is it walkthrough? What impact this activity will have in production environment to re-discover the elements in NMS?

Please revert.

If you are using ciscoworks, you can use IPM to do this. you only need to configure snmp ro and rw strings on the cisco device.

IPM does a set and get to get the IP SLA information from the routers.
