Cisco ARSAM Advanced Routing and Switching for Account Managers

Common devices provide higher network throughput. Price breaks are possible on equipment upgrades. Common interface facilitates network management. Long-term investment protection provides a lower total cost of ownership. Established migration paths help reduce the initial investment.

It has embedded real-time monitoring of VoIP call quality. ✘ It integrates proven, multi-gigabit Cisco security solutions, including intrusion detection, firewall, VPN, andSSL into
existing networks. ✘ With Cisco IOS software modularity and redundancy in power supply, supervisor engine, switch fabric, andintegrated network services, the 6500 Series provides one- to three-second stateful failover. ✘ Cisco IOS software modularity boosts operational efficiency and minimizes downtime. ✔

Ensure that data streams do not take up bandwidth allocated to voice and video. ✘ Ensure that sufficient resources are available for a voice or video transmission before the transmissionoccurs. ✘ Determine whether packets are conforming to administratively defined traffic rates and take actionaccordingly. ✘ Mark frames and packets according to their service levels. ✔

Tools that provide information regarding network devices, connectivity, VLAN/LANE and ATM configuration,
analysis,
and IP phone user and path information ✘ Tools that help integrate built-in knowledge of interactions between different Cisco IOS features, industrybest
practices, and TAC-recommended configurations ✘ Tools that help manage Cisco devices using inventory- and device-change management, networkconfiguration and
software image management, network availability, and syslog analysis ✘ Tools that are designed to assign priority to data packets based on dedicated bandwidth ✔

By monitoring the network for a variety of fault conditions to determine where bottlenecks occur ✘ By providing historical reports regarding network performance that provide input for capacity planning ✘ By providing information about IP phone user and path information to identify where to locate CiscoCallManager ✘ By providing device-change management to identify locations where new equipment has already beenplaced into
service ✔

Integrated services routers are best for headquarters routing. ✘ It is desirable for headquarters routers to be stackable, fixed-configuration routers. ✘ Headquarters routers are the central aggregation point for company data routing. ✘ A headquarters router is normally a connection point between the branch and WAN aggregation routers. ✔
