Getting Started With the Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM)
 
Thank you for your interest in Cisco’s Network Analysis Modules (NAM).
This section describes the steps for starting your integration with NAM.
 
CDN Program Requirements
 
1.                  Access the on-line Cisco Developer Network (CDN) program application
2.                  Complete your company and contact information
3.                  Register your product by selecting Network and Service Management as the Cisco Technology.
4.                  Next under the Cisco Technology Sub-Category, select Network Management Services Modules
5.                  Under Cisco Product select Network Analysis Module (NAM)
6.                  Complete and submit your program application
7.                  After your application has been reviewed and approved, you will be sent a NAM specific NDA for approval.
8.                  The CDN program office will send out an email notifying you of your acceptance into the program and instructions to review the program guidelines and accept the CDN program agreement.
9.                  Final CDN on-boarding step will be to submit your purchase order for the annual program fees.
 
After completing the steps outlined above, go to the NAM Resources tab in the NAM Tech Center to access developer integration information and tools.
