Avaya Network Management Overview
Avaya Network Management includes Avaya Network Management Server and Avaya Network
Management Console, an application that allows you to view the devices in your network.
Avaya Network Management Console also provides a platform from which you can launch
applications to manage network devices and monitor the traffic on your network. In addition,
Avaya Network Management provides a Discovery service that can search your network for
devices and an Event Log that reports network events.
Avaya Network Management uses a client/server architecture, enabling multiple users to
access the Avaya Network Management Server simultaneously. Web based technology
provides a method for accessing and managing your network from any computer with Internet
access.
The figure below illustrates the flow of information between the different components that
comprise Avaya Network Management and Avaya Network Management applications.

When Avaya Network Management Server is launched, it runs a number of daemons, which
poll the network devices listed in the default Network Map to determine their status and updates
their colors in the Avaya Network Management Console View Area. Users can manage devices
or launch network-wide applications via Avaya Network Management Console. Avaya Network
