Introduction
The Cisco 2200 Series NAM appliance comes preloaded with Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM), 4.0 software. NAM 4.0 software enables network managers to understand, manage, and improve how applications and services are delivered to end-users.
The NAM offers flow-based traffic analysis of applications, hosts, and conversations, performance-based measurements on application, server, and network latency, quality of experience metrics for network-based services such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video, and problem analysis using deep, insightful packet captures.
The Cisco NAM includes an embedded, web-based Traffic Analyzer GUI that provides quick access to the configuration menus and presents easy-to-read performance reports on web for different types of services and traffic including voice and video, response time, and network flow-based reports.

Install the NAM Appliance In a Rack
For safety and stability, we recommend that you install your Cisco 2200 Series NAM appliance in a rack. A 4-post rack-mount kit was shipped with your appliance. For more detailed information, see the following sections in Chapter 4 of your appliance's installation and configuration guide:
•
•
•
or
Connect the Appliance AC Power
When installing the appliance, use the provided AC power cord.
The AC power cord is considered the primary disconnect for the appliance and must be readily accessible when installed. If the appliance power cord is not readily accessible for disconnection then you must install an AC power disconnect for the entire rack. This disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be properly labeled as the controlling power to the entire rack, not just to the appliance.
For more detailed information see the section, Cisco 2204 NAM Appliance Power, in Chapter 4 of the Installation and Configuration Guide for the Cisco 2204 NAM Appliance:
Or see the section, Cisco 2220 NAM Appliance Power, in Chapter 4 of the Installation and Configuration Guide for the Cisco 2220 NAM Appliance.
Connect the NAM Appliance to a Device
After you install it in a rack, connect the NAM appliance to a switch or router, the device to be managed or monitored. See Chapter 4 of the Installation and Configuration Guide for the Cisco 2204 NAM Appliance, Connecting the Network and Management Cables:
Or see the Installation and Configuration Guide for the Cisco 2220 NAM Appliance, Connecting the Network and Management Cables:
