Cisco WAN Modeling Tools Guide
OL-10426-01, Rev. A0
Chapter 1 Overview of the WAN Modeling Tools
Gaps
• The NMT extracts the network topology and connection parameters from Cisco WAN Manager.
The NMT handles changes in the CWM DB schema, so these changes are invisible to the user. CWM
coded values are translated to more usable strings, and tables are merged so in NMT, there is 1 table
per network element.
• The NMT translates topology data to and from MS Excel data. The NMT tables are translated to
DBASE3 format and a MS Excel macro is provide for creating a file of spreadsheets for each table.
• NMT translates the topology data to and from the WANDL format for use by their NCAPS tool.
• PNNI CAC parameters are not as granular as they are in the product. For example, some parameters
are network specific.
• A 10 character node naming limitation is imposed. CWM provides translation for node naming.
