Organizations rely on Cisco, third-party, and in-house developed network management applications to achieve
their operating expense (OpEx) and productivity goals. Underpinning those applications are the embedded
management features available in every ISR. The new ISRs continue a tradition of broad and deep manageability
features within the devices. Features such as Cisco IOS IP Service-Level Agreements (IP SLAs), Cisco IOS
Embedded Event Manager (EEM), and NetFlow allow you to know what is going on in your network at all times.
These features along with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and syslog support enable your
organization’s management applications.
Tables 4 through 6 give details about Cisco IOS software feature and protocol support, Cisco IOS software
management capabilities, and Cisco Network Management applications for Cisco 1921 Integrated Services
Routers.

Description of Feature Supported by Cisco Integrated Services Routers
WSMA
The Web Services Management Agent (WSMA) defines a mechanism through which you can manage a network
device, retrieve configuration data information, and upload and manipulate new configuration data. WSMA uses XML-
based data encoding that is transported by the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for the configuration data and
protocol messages.
EEM
Cisco IOS EEM is a distributed and customized approach to event detection and recovery offered directly in a Cisco
IOS Software device. It offers the ability to monitor events and take informational, corrective, or any desired EEM
action when the monitored events occur or when a threshold is reached.
IPSLA
Cisco IOS IP SLAs enable you to assure new business-critical IP applications, as well as IP services that use data,
voice, and video, in an IP network.
SNMP
,
RMON
, syslog,
NetFlow, and
TR-069
Cisco 1900 Series ISRs support SNMP, Remote Monitoring (RMON), syslog, NetFlow, and TR-069 in addition to the
embedded management features previously mentioned.
