MPLS management tools.

Which Cisco management tool is the proper tool to manage and monitor a Cisco MPLS network?

Any links to descriptions of capabilities would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Michael.

Thanks Rizwan.

Any information available in CiscoWorks 2000 (e.g. VMS) on MPLS networks like topology in Campus Manager or do you need these specific tools even for smaller networks?

[rmushtaq]

The above tools are specifically targeted for monitoring/provisioning MPLS networks. Haven't seen anyone using Campus for MPLS monitoring etc specifically.

Cisco IP Solution Center seems to be related to Cisco Info Center. Is Cisco IP Solution Center also based on Micromuse Netcool?

[rmushtaq]

No, IP Solution is not related with CIC/Micromuse.

Isn't IPSC a renaming of VPNsc when it went from Release 2 -> 3 ?

Yes. IPSC is the new name for VPNSC.

Reason is the product is doing more than VPN management now
