Simplify Deployment Using Cisco Prime to deploy EnergyWise USE CASE: Corporate IT wants to deploy EnergyWise to save power and lower overall network costs. 1. Define the policy 2. Prepare the network 3. Configure the network 4. Apply the policy 5. Monitor the savings Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution (LMS) Place Use the all Borderless PoE ports (phones, Work Center PCs) to in identify building and N in upgrade standby the mode network Setup Define and for between EnergyWise apply and configure 9 the the endpoints pm policy and 6 to am the endpoint groups Speed service deployment from days to hours Reduce errors and gain immediate ROI
Troubleshoot Wired and Wireless Access Using Cisco Prime NCS for converged access management USE CASE: User calls in to help center because they cannot get access to financial data on the network. IT determines if they are authorized to access this area. 1. Search on user name 2. Identify wired and wireless devices associated with the user 3. Display associated and disassociated devices 4. Use automated client troubleshooting workflow to resolve the issue 5. Issue resolved Step by Step Recommendations Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) Troubleshoot user and access issues based on identity Speed resolution with intuitive guided workflows
Automate Lifecycle Processes Troubleshooting Video with Cisco Prime Collaboration Manager USE CASE: Users are experiencing intermittent video problems during TelePresence sessions between HQ and the branch office, operations must isolate and fix the problem. 1. Identify and select the session (HQ to Branch) 2. View the session status 3. Drill down to visualize the media path 4. Quickly isolate the root cause of the problem 5. Fix the problem WAN HQ Cisco Prime Collaboration Manager (CM) Campus Internet Branch Quickly isolate and troubleshoot service related problems Improve service quality and end-user experience
Become Proactive and Delegate Managing Voice with Cisco Prime UCMS USE CASE: Phone users experience noise, outages and deployment delays with their Cisco IP Phones 1. See the UC phone network summary in a single view 2. Detect network issues before they become outages 3. Context launch Prime LMS for device details 4. Automate and delegate subscriber administration with auditing 5. Cisco Prime UCMS provides full lifecycle management for UC phone networks Suspicious node LMS device QoS information Resolve problems before they are problems Reduce overhead with provisioning delegation and automation
Isolate Rich Media Issues At A Branch Improved troubleshooting and visibility USE CASE: End User calls about issues with rich media sessions. 1. End user experience dashboard identifies source of the issue server/network/endpoint 2. Determine if other users at the same branch are also experiencing degradation 3. Navigate from end user to the branch device to determine the interface serving RTP applications. 4. Analyze interface dashboard to determine application mix patterns 5. Isolate the issue to wrong classification done by CBQoS policies on the interface. Quickly identify the source of the problem Reduces expertise by normalizing and correlating performance data
Improve Operational Efficiency Using Cisco Prime NAM to resolve network problems USE CASE: End users are complaining about slow application response times and unresponsive applications 1. Identify the application with high response times 2. Analyze the application s performance over time 3. Zoom in to investigate specific performance issues 4. Identify the Top N clients affected by the degradation and isolate the servers with high response times 5. Drill-down to analyze server activity and resolve the problem Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module (NAM) Understand how network traffic is performing and being used Optimize and troubleshoot network and application performance
Speed Problem Resolution Utilizing Cisco Smart Interactions USE CASE: Help desk operator sees a problem with a gateway router and uses Cisco smart interactions to help quickly isolate and solve the problem 1. Fault notification on core switch 2. Operator engages support community 3. Validates issue and opens Service Request with contextual information about the problem Seamless access to Cisco support communities Significantly reduce time required to resolve problems
