SBA Overview Guiding Principles
We divided the deployment process into modules according to the following
principles:
• Ease of use: A top requirement of Cisco SBA was to develop a design
that could be deployed with the minimal amount of configuration and
day-two management.
The Cisco® SBA is a comprehensive design for networks with up to 1000
users. This out-of-the-box design is simple, fast, affordable, scalable, and • Cost-effective: Another critical requirement as we selected products

The Cisco SBA for Midsize Agencies incorporates LAN, WAN, wireless, • Flexibility and scalability: As the agency grows, so too must its infra-
security, WAN optimization, and unified communication technologies tested structure. Products selected must have the ability to grow or be repur-
together as a solution. This solution-level approach simplifies the system posed within the architecture.

SBA Overview 1
Introduction

With a network management system, you can automate configuration tasks

and monitor network health, giving you the visibility you need to quickly
troubleshoot issues.
Cisco offers a number of Network Management options. This guide is
focused on our partnership with SolarWinds and their Orion products, which
meet our goal to deliver affordable, easy-to-use network configuration and
change management.
The Orion family of products has been tested and validated with the compo-
nents described in the SBA for Midsize Agencies—Borderless Networks
Foundation Deployment Guide and the Data Center Deployment Guide.
This guide includes two SolarWinds Orion products:
• Orion Network Configuration Manager (NCM) for managing and monitor-
ing network configuration changes
• Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) for quickly detecting, diag-
nosing, and resolving network performance problems and outages
The SolarWinds Orion network management products leverage SNMP for
gathering availability and performance data and Secure Shell (SSH) (Telnet
or TFTP) for executing configuration management operations across your
network devices. Prior to continuing with this module, please ensure you fol-
low the steps outlined in the Global Configuration module in the Cisco SBA
Foundation Deployment Guide to setup IP addresses and configure these
standard management protocols for each device you want to manage.
You can download a free trial of NPM and NCM from
