Session Manager - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Overview

Session Manager

Session Manager allows you to create a configuration and apply it in batch mode after the configuration is
reviewed and verified for accuracy and completeness.
Scheduler
The scheduler allows you to create and manage jobs such as routinely backing up data or making quality of
service (QoS) policy changes. The scheduler can start a job according to your needs—only once at a specified
time or at periodic intervals.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that provides a message
format for communication between SNMP managers and agents. SNMP provides a standardized framework
and a common language used for the monitoring and management of devices in a network.
RMON
Remote monitoring (RMON) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard monitoring specification
that allows various network agents and console systems to exchange network monitoring data. Cisco NX-OS
supports RMON alarms, events, and logs to monitor Cisco NX-OS devices.
Online Diagnostics
Cisco Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) define a common framework for diagnostic operations across
Cisco platforms. The online diagnostic framework specifies the platform-independent fault-detection architecture
for centralized and distributed systems, including the common diagnostics CLI and the platform-independent
fault-detection procedures for boot-up and run-time diagnostics. The platform-specific diagnostics provide
hardware-specific fault-detection tests and allow you to take appropriate corrective action in response to
diagnostic test results.
Embedded Event Manager
The Embedded Event Manager (EEM) allows you to detect and handle critical events in the system. EEM
provides event detection and recovery, including monitoring of events either as they occur or as thresholds
are crossed.
