Difference between Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Prime NCS

Dear All,
I am currenctly confused in choosing what type of Cisco Prime.
1.Which one should I choose? should I order Cisco Prime NCS or directly purchase Cisco Prime Infrastructure (since Cisco Prime Infrastructure has the feature of NCS)?
2, Why does Cisco not just remove the Cisco Prime NCS ordering Part Number since Cisco Prime Infrastructure already cover the NCS?
Please advice me

Hortono,
I started to write a long and lengthy msg about my experience with this, but instead, let me direct you to the horses mouth. There have been weekly webinars in regards to Cisco Prime (many differnt products under this headline) including Infrastructure. I believe the Cisco PI is actually scheduled for Thursdays, so hopefully you'll look at this in time to catch it and ask your questions from the gurus.

Looks like this may be the last week, catch it if you can.

Difference between cisco prime infrastructure and cisco WCS

Can you explain me difference between cisco prime infrastructure and cisco WCS.. I'm little bit confuse...
Thanks..

Hi Hasan,
In terms of features...You can say PI is more advanced version of WCS and NCS. All the stuff possible in WCS/NCS can be done on PI as well.
But from the architecture perspective , there are differences. If I remember correctly , WCS is based on 32 bit OS while NCS and PI based on 64 bit OS. For the same reason you cannot do inline upgrade from WCS to PI via any path and will have to change the platform/Hardware itself before moving to PI. However , inline upgrade from NCS to PI is possible if we follow the correct path.

Difference between CIVS-IPC-VT38 and CIVS-IPC-VF31

Hi Expert,
1, May I know difference between CIVS-IPC-VT38 and Cisco IP Camera Fujinon 3-8 mm Varifocal Lens CIVS-IPC-VF31?
2, Do I need a lenses for Cisco CIVS-IPC-2611 Dome camera, if it is what the part number?
Thanks

I'm just going by memory here, but I believe the VT38 part is made by Tamron, and the VF31 part is made by Fujinon.
Personally, I prefer the Tamron parts if I have the option, but you may want to review the detailed spec sheets from each manufacturer.
Also, the 2600 series domes have their *own* non-swapable optics made by "Computar". I can't remember the varifocal range off the top of my head right now, but it would be in the datasheets from Cisco for sure.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Cisco Prime network and cisco prime infrastructure

Hi,
What is the difference between Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime infrastructure.
Please advice.

I assume you are asking about Cisco Prime LAN Management System (LMS) vs. Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI).
LMS is currently the leading Cisco offering for wired infrastructure management. It is the evolution of the earlier CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoWorks RWAN CiscoWorks 2000, CWSI, VLAN Director, original CiscoWorks classic etc. products going back almost 20 years.
PI is the equivalent Cisco offering for wireless LANs and is the successor to NCS and WCS products.
The overlap and confusion comes from the fact the Cisco is positioning PI as the overall wireless and wired management platform and gradually introducing wired network management features to make it equal (and eventually exceed) LMS's capabilities.
There is a comparison table here that shows the current differences. A major new release of PI (2.0) is due out shortly which will close many (but not all) of the gaps on that table.

Different between cisco NAC agent and cisco Clean Access Agent

Hi all,
if anyone has idea about different between cisco NAC agent and cisco Clean Access Agent, please share your ideas.
thank you

In 4.6, the agent was overhauled and is now called the NAC agent. Previous versions were referred to as the Clean Access Agent. So pretty much, the 4.5 agent and 4.1.3.2 agents are Clean Access agents, and the 4.6.x and 4.7.x agents are called NAC agents.
Some of the changes made were moving a lot of the agent configuration to an XML file, redesigning the GUI, adding a service portion (so that the stub agent is no longer required), and better agent logging.

The difference between AIR-ANT5135D-R and AIR-ANT5135DB-R

Hi,
Anyone know what is the difference between AIR-ANT5135D-R and AIR-ANT5135DB-R ?
From the dynamic configuration tools for 1252 and 1242, AIR-ANT2422DB-R is inside one of the antenna option.
However, I can't find it in the "Cisco Aironet Antennas and Accessories Reference Guide"
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps7183/ps469/product_data_sheet09186a008008883b.html
Inside the document there is only AIR-ANT5135D-R.
likewise for the 2.4 GHz, AIR-ANT2422DB-R is inside the dynamic configuration tools and not inside "Cisco Aironet Antennas and Accessories Reference Guide"
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Richard

Found the difference, AIR-ANT5135DB-R and AIR-ANT2422DB-R are non-articulating antennas.
Thanks!

Differences between CTI OS Server and CTI Server ?

Hello community,
I've been working with CTI Desktop for a while but I'm not clear about the differences between CTI OS Server and CTI Server?
If you go to http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_CCE_Software_Compatibility_Matrix_for_8.5(x) and read note 10, they make diffrences between both products.
Thanks in advance,
Alejandro

CTI Server was the original CTI interface into ICM. It uses a network communication protocol, GED-188 I believe, for communication between the client and server. This is relatively difficult to program against. CTIOS and it's related SDKs were developed to provide an easier method of developing desktops and integrating desktop applications. CTI Server communicates with ICM, CTIOS Server communicates with CTI Server, and desktop applications using the various SDKs communicate with CTIOS Server. Cisco may be looking to get away from CTIOS Server in the future because of their decision to integrate Finesse with CTI Server rather than CTIOS Server. Hope that helps.

Difference between Oracle Testing Center and Prometric?

what is the Difference between Oracle Testing Center and Prometric?

Notes for an Oracle Testing Center are here:
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=51&p_org_id=1001&lang=US#4]
The cancellation policies are possibly harder than a Standard Testing Center Vendor.
I would suggest that Oracle Testing Centers possilbly offer exams more on an event or batch basis; (Oracle Openworld is an example; though thats not what one would think of as an Oracle Test Center).
In general I suspect most people will find it just as easy to take the exam through a prometric(or new testing vendor) center. and there will often typically be more slots available. And the testing center will be typically be examing for other testing suppliers, perhaps mosting microsoft and cisco, but there's a mryiad of others out there as well. So the'll probably be well set up for it.
Here in the UK (south) we have a fairly (very) dense population. I've used 4 centers myself:
One 5 miles from me, a college, thats dual Pearson VUE/Prometric; though there only offering Pearson VUE at present until they moved to a bigger suite, with 4 stations. Nice and friendly. 5 days week.
One 25 miles from me, a training center, that offer dual Pearson VUE/Prometric; 4/8 stations; very friendly, cup of coffe offered; I usually go by Puff Puff to this one.
One 10 miles from me, maybe a 12 workstation suite, they offer usually prometric (but not oracle) on one a week. Felt Conveyor like compared to other two above; but very friendly and efficient.
One 35 miles from me, Prometric only including oracle only, maybe a 12 workstation suite, CRT's, and not necessarily of the best quality. This one really felt conveyor like to me, though staff were friendly. This is effectively a drive for me. Also whereas the others I've usd sit one down to sign the forms in a room this one was done at building reception.
The city center ones can sometimes be a little noisy and earplugs are recommended, though the one city center one I've used has provided them others don't have to.
In general from once I used a particular center I feel more comfortable; I'll know exactly where it is; where I have have a quick cup of coffee (with sugar) beforehand going over notes. This all helps me to be a little less anxious before the exam. When I get that prepartion wrong, and I certainly did once, if probably cost me maybe 2/3/4 %.
Getting to know your local test center and routine is one reason why I encourage people to take 1z0-007 and 1z0-051 proctored so they know the procedure and get to know a local Promteric etc Test Center before taking a more advanced and expensive exam.
Rgds -bigdelboy.
PS: I expect comments from some people who live 100 (+) miles from a test center and have no alternative choice. And those in some places will probably say they feel they are treated like cattle by the test center.

Difference between CON-SU3-3945 and CON-SNT-3945E

Hi,
Can somebody explain me the difference between CON-SU3-3945 and CON-SNT-3945E, as far as I am concern that first one is cisco service for IPS and other one is smartnet service for IPS, or CON-SU3-3945 is itself IPS bundle i.e. software IPS and CON-SNT-3945E is smartnet service for CON-SU3-3945.
also kindly share if anybody has the sample config or configuration procedure for CON-SU3-3945 (If this is an IPS).
Regards,
Mukesh

Hi Mallardnathan,
The first answer to your question is, yes, you need purchase two service contracts for each Cisco Small Business product.
These service contracts CON-SBS-SVC1, CON-SBS-SVC2, CON-SBS-SVC3 include the following:
Three-year support for Cisco Small Business products
Unlimited telephone and online chat support with Cisco engineers, 24 hours daily in English, business hours in 12 other languages
Next-business-day advance hardware replacement in more than 65 countries
Major and minor software releases
Online service request tools
The service contract CON-SBS-SVC3 includes all of the above except instead of Next-business-day hardware replacement, it is same day replacement and it is only available in certain countries.
A service contract is assigned to each product. For example, a basic SF100D-08 unmanaged switch will have service contract CON-SBS-SVC1, while the SG500X-48P Stackable Managed Switch will have service contract CON-SBS-SVC3.
For your two products, RV180 and SG200-08, you will need to order CON-SBS-SVC2 for each of them.

Difference between a WLSE 1130 and 1130-19

Difference between address-family ipv6 and address-family ipv6 labeled unicast

Hello Experts,
Can someone explain me the difference between address-family ipv6 and address-family ipv6 labeled unicast. Per my understanding, i think both of them are used to send labelled IPv6 prefix advertisements through BGP..If so, are the following configs same?
address-family ipv6
neighbor 192.168.0.1 activate
neighbor 192.168.0.1 send-label
router bgp 10
neighbor 192.168.0.1
address-family ipv6 labelled unicast
Please let me know if my understanding is correct
Thanks
Mukundh

Thanks for the reply Nagendra...
I have another related query regarding this. We have BGP neighborship flapping between 2 routers ...One is Cisco 7204 and another is Juniper M120 I think.... The Juniper logs show that BGP is flapped due to family inet6 not configured on the Juniper end and Juniper is receiving BGP advertisements with native IPv6 as next hop from Cisco when it shouldn't be receiving that.. The following are commands on Cisco and Juniper...
##### CISCO####

            export RR-Export-All;

                local-address 95.176.254.10;
            neighbor 95.176.255.252 {

                local-address 95.176.254.10;
By the cisco command above, shouldn't cisco be sending only labelled ipv6 prefixes or am I wrong in this. And if Cisco sends both unlabelled and labelled prefixes, is there a way to make it send only ipv6 prefixes?
Thanks
