NAM Software Monitoring Traffic Through Internal Interface Note The following restriction applies only to traffic that is monitored through the internal NAM interface. The NAM Traffic Analyzer (web GUI) provides Layer 3 and higher layer information about the original packets. The Layer 2 header is modified by the router when it forwards the packets to the NAM, so the Layer 2 information that the NAM records is not applicable to the original packets.

NAM Software Hardware Interfaces The host router and network module use several interfaces for internal and external communication (see Figure 1). Each interface is configurable both from the router by using the Cisco IOS CLI and from the module by using the module's CLI. The NME-NAM-120S can monitor traffic on both the external and the internal interface at the same time. However, only one can be used for management traffic.
