Monitoring and Managing the Cisco 3825 Router
You can use Cisco’s network management applications, such as Cisco Mobile Wireless Transport Manager
(MWTM), to monitor and manage the Cisco 3825 router. This Network Management tool provides monitor-
ing and management capabilities to the RAN-O solution. The Cisco MWTM addresses the element-manage-
ment requirements of mobile operators and provides fault, configuration, and troubleshooting capability.
The Cisco MWTM provides the following key features:
•
Event Monitoring
•
Web-Based Reporting
•
Auto Discovery and Topology
•
Inventory
•
OSS Integration
•
Security
•
Client/Server Architecture
•
Multiple OS Support
The Cisco MWTM integrates with any SNMP-based monitoring system, such as Cisco Info Center
products. In addition, the Cisco MWTM collects a large amount of performance data that can be exported
or directly accessed from the database. This data can then be used by performance reporting applications.
Additional information can be found in the following publications of the Cisco MWTM documentation

Enabling the Cisco 3825 Router for Remote Network Management
To enable remote network management of the Cisco 3825 router, do the following:
Step 1
At the privileged EXEC prompt, enter the following command to access the configuration mode:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 2
At the configuration prompt, enter the following command to assign a host name to each of the network
management workstations:
Router(config)# ip host
hostname ip_address
Where hostname is the name assigned to the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) workstation and
ip_address is the address of the network management workstation.
Step 3
Enter the following commands to create a loopback interface for O&M (see the
Ethernet Interfaces” section on page 4-8
for more information):
Router(config)# interface loopback
number
Router(config-if)# ip address
ip_address subnet_mask
