2 Overview Cisco Intelligent WAN (IWAN) delivers an uncompromised user experience over any connection, whether that connection is Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or Internet. By unifying the logical infrastructure of multiple connections that span diverse carriers and link types, customers can get more net bandwidth through the same physical connections. Cisco IWAN protects performance-sensitive applications from brownouts and blackouts, provides secure and reliable active-active load balancing for applications, and improves application performance, while significantly reducing WAN costs. LiveAction s LiveNX is an application-aware network management software with QoS control, designed to simplify network management. LiveNX features an innovative visual display, real-time big data analytics and deep control of routers and switches for unparalleled ease of network administration. For Cisco IWAN, LiveNX provides GUI-based management and awareness for intelligent path control and application performance optimization. To learn more details, see how LiveNX s unique PfRv3 and IWAN capabilities operate in this brief and insightful 12-minute demonstration. Specifically, LiveAction offers the following IWAN management functions: PfR Path Control Visualization, Reporting, and Configuration Provides full visibility of PfR path changes across the network topology Site, Application, and Service Provider Utilization and Performance Shows Threshold Crossing Alert (TCA) events, which trigger path change(s) and reports on the traffic class/application associated with specific path change(s) Offers detailed graphical TCA reports Enables configuration of PfRv3 Support for multiple data center environments AVC Visualization, Reporting, and Configuration Provides AVC Flow Visualization Enables alert threshold configuration and reports Obtains full NBAR2 QoS control on Cisco routers Uses QoS to optimize application performance QoS Monitoring and Configuration Visualizes QoS classification and congestion indicators Tracks QoS performance on a per-class basis Monitors and alerts priority queue drops for proactive notification of potential Voice and Video quality issues 1-1 LiveAction IWAN Management

3 Enables full MQC QoS configuration support via graphical editor Provides instant validation PfR Dashboard, Network Health and Status Sets up a PfR dashboard for a quick glance of how PfR performs in re-routing traffic or protecting applications Implements network discovery and network topology Enhances end-to-end flow visualization Maintains network monitoring using NetFlow, IPFIX, SNMP, Routing and LAN statistics Empowers threshold crossing alert processing Facilitates dashboard and at-a-glance color-coded status for top application performance, site performance, networking device CPU/memory usage, link utilization, and interface up/down The Cisco IWAN and LiveAction IWAN management components are shown below: Figure 1 LiveAction for IWAN Management 1-2 LiveAction IWAN Management

4 This solution offers the following benefits to customers: Save Time and Money Increase IWAN Adoption Improved Productivity Ease of Operations Provide faster IWAN deployment and troubleshooting Enable easier justification of IWAN ROI Maximize Cisco IWAN value to customers through visualization Bridge the management gap for an end-to-end IWAN solution Empower a deeper understanding of application traffic with end-to-end flow visualization Find and fix problems quickly with QoS GUIbased control and bulk configuration Implements robust IWAN reporting Achieve real-time visualization of path changes Utilize intuitive GUI for faster deployment, configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting Ordering Information The LiveAction IWAN Management software is available on the Cisco Global Price List (GPL) as listed in Tables 1-3. LiveAction s LiveNX has the following pricing models on Cisco GPL (Global Price List) as shown below: Perpetual license. Provides use of the license in perpetuity. Software upgrades are provided with purchase of annual maintenance. Annual maintenance for perpetual license for 1-year. Provides technical support from LiveNX and access to minor and major software releases. For multi-year, 3- and 5-year contacts, increase the quantity of the applicable SKUs. Subscription license for 1-year. Provides technical support from LiveNX and access to minor and major software releases. For multi-year, 3- and 5-year contacts, increase the quantity of the applicable SKUs. The SKU are based on number of network devices, such as routers or switches. You can combine multiple licenses to reach the desired number of devices to be managed. For example, to manage 700 devices, you may purchase a 500-device license and two 100-device licenses. Cisco Series Routers Supported o Cisco 800, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2600, 2600XM, 2800, 2900, 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 4300, 4400, 7200, 7600, CSR 1000v and ASR 1000 Series Routers are supported by LiveNX Flow, QoS Monitor, QoS Configure, Routing, and IP SLA. o o For Cisco ASR 9000 and CRS-1, only LiveNX Flow is supported Recommended IOS versions 12.3 or higher or 15.0 or higher for use with the software (IOS XE or higher for ASR 1000 series). Earlier IOS versions may also work, but are not officially supported. 1-3 LiveAction IWAN Management

5 o General-release IOS versions are recommended, although early- and limited-release versions will also work with LiveNX Cisco Series Switches Supported o Cisco Catalyst 2960, 3560, 3650, 3750, 3850, 4500, and 6500 Series Switches are supported by LiveNX LAN. o Cisco Catalyst 3850, 4500, 6500, and Nexus 3000, 7000, and 9000 Series Switches are supported by LiveNX Flow. Please consult Cisco feature navigator for specific hardware requirements. o Limited LiveNX QoS Monitor and QoS Configure support on Layer 3-routable interfaces and VLANs depending upon Cisco hardware capabilities. o No Layer 2 QoS configuration Ordering Information for LiveNX Enterprise LiveNX Enterprise has the following features and SKUs on the Cisco GPL as shown below. LiveNX for enterprise includes multi-node, multi-user, unlimited historical data, and full-function features with Flow, QoS Monitoring, QoS Configuration, Routing, IP SLA, and LAN modules are included. In this configuration, Routing includes PBR; visualization of Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), Routing, adjacency tables, and next-hop route tracing. IP SLA includes an IP SLA dashboard, GUI-based IP SLA test generation, visualization of IP SLA test status, and all IP SLA reports. LAN functions include Layer 2 QoS Monitoring, LAN path visualization, and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) visualization.
