Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more current than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.
If you are reading Cisco product documentation on the World Wide Web, you can submit comments electronically. Click Feedback in the toolbar, select Documentation, and click Enter the feedback form. After you complete the form, click Submit to send it to Cisco. We appreciate your comments.
The Cisco WAN Design Tools software includes the following subsystems:
This version of the Cisco WAN Design Tools 9.2.0 obsoletes Cisco WAN Design Tools 910 and all earlier versions.
The WAN Network Design Tools release 9.2.0 includes all features supported in release 9.1.0, and introduces the following additional features:
The WAN Network Design Tools release 9.2.0 supports the following new modeling features:
| Sort tables. |
|---|
Add links/connections for full mesh of sites. |
Adjust %util field for connections. |
Convert pre sales networks to fully specified networks. |
View Summary Display (sniffcnf output). |
Partial Site Builds. |
Installing the WAN Design Tools consists of two steps:
Step 1 Platform Installation - Copying the software onto a Solaris or SunOS platform. This is done one time for each platform.
Step 2 Working Directory Setup - Linking a directory to the WAN Design Tools. This is done once for each working directory when it is first created.
If you are installing CiscoView on a Solaris 2.5 or 2.6 platform, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Log on as the account that will own the WAN Design Tools software, and move into the directory that will hold all WAN Design Tools releases.
Step 2 Enter the volcheck command.
Step 3 Enter /cdrom/nmt920/install/920.tar.Z.
Step 4 Enter uncompress 920.tar.
Step 5 Enter tar xvf 920.tar.
This will create the directory 920, which contains all the software. To run WAN Design Tools, see the "Creating Working Directory" section.
If you are installing CiscoView on a SunOS platform, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Log onto the platform as root.
Step 2 Enter mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0/cdrom.
Step 3 Log in as the account that will own the WAN Design Tool software.
Step 4 Enter cp /cdrom/nmt920/install/920.tar.Z .
Step 5 Enter uncompress 920.tar.
Step 6 Enter tar xvf 920.tar.
This will create the directory 920, which contains all the software. To run the WAN Network Modeling Tools, see the section Creating Working Directory.
To create a working directory on SunOS platform, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Log onto the account that will be using the WAN Design tools for designing and modeling networks.
Step 2 Create a working directory and move into it. For example:
mkdir my_net_plans
cd my_net_plans
Step 3 Enter csh.
(Skip Step 3 if you know you are already running c-shell.)
Step 4 Enter setenv NMTHOME <software-path>, where <software-path> is the full path to the WAN Design Tools release.
For example: /usr/users/NMT/920
Step 5 Enter $NMTHOME/nmtlink.
Step 6 To run the main program, enter nmt.
You can create a working directory running the software from the CD. When the CD is removed or unmounted, this working directory will not work, having no access to the software.
To create a working directory running the software from the CD, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Create a working directory and move into it.
Step 2 2) Enter csh
(Skip Step 3 if you know you are already running c-shell.)
Step 3 Enter volcheck.
Step 4 Enter setenv NMTHOME /cdrom/nmt920/920.
Step 5 Enter $NMTHOME/nmtlink.
Step 6 To run the main program, enter nmt.
To install CiscoView on a PC from a CD, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Run the provided nmt installing 'exe' file, which is a self extracting ZIP file. The nmt installing exec can be found on the cd in directory `pc' as `nmt_inst.exe'.
Step 2 The zip file will unzip in c:\nmt by default. It is recommend you keep this as the NMT installation directory. If you accept this selection, move to step 3.
If you choose to change the installation directory, you will need to:
Step 3 Install the shortcut.
Step 4 Click on your 'Cisco WAN Modeling Tool' icon to start NMT, or start NMT by running c:\nmt\bin\nmt.exe.
A generic node is used to represent a switch or feeder in the network that is not fully modeled and provisioned by NMT.Generic node types are defined in the CONFIG/Create Nodes table. The CONFIG/Create Nodes table has the following fields:
Node Type | The name of the node type, that will be cross referenced in the site table. |
|---|---|
Base Type | Enter GENERIC, or enter an existing MSS BU product to base the node's behavior on. |
Site | Number of service module cards supported. |
CTL | Maximum number of circuit lines the node can support. |
PTL | Maximum number of trunks the node can support. |
PTLConns | Maximum number of connections that can use each PTL on the node. |
NodeConns | Maximum number of connections that each node can support. |
Node Type | The name of the node type, that will be cross referenced in the site table. |
Generic nodes can support all link interfaces and all connection types that NMT can model, except for some of the legacy data connection types.
Generic sites are provisioned with generic front cards. ATMC, FRC, and UVC cards support ATM, Frame Relay, and voice and data.
