Configuration Extraction Tool
This chapter describes how to use the Configuration Extraction Tool (CET). The CET extracts data from
the Informix database used by the Cisco Wan Manager (CWM). The CET then formats the data into a
standard .cnf file that can be read by the NMT. The CET works with CWM Releases 9.2 through 15.1.50.
CET is included in the UNIX installation of NMT. For instructions on installing the CET see the chapter
“Installing WAN Modeling Tools.”
This Chapter contains the following sections:
• Fields Addressed by CET
• Using the CET
• Other CET Commands
• Troubleshooting CET
• Remote CET Extracts
Fields Addressed by CET
A configuration file generated by the CET consists of data extracted from your network. The source is
the CWM Informix database. Where that data is not available, NMT default values are used. See
Chapter 4, “Configuration Tables and Fields,” for descriptions of the fields that are extracted from the
CWM data, and their source fields and their limitations.
CET provides the added functionality of translating all coded value fields in INFORMIX into easy to use
strings. For some fields, CET will check 2nd sources for the data if there are problems with the CWM
collection process. For older versions of CWM, specifically 9.1 or earlier, CET will heuristically fill in
some fields
