The following section briefly describes the various functions of D-View:
•
New Device Identifier:
D-View constantly monitors the network for new
devices. Once a device is plugged in, administrators can add the device into
the topology.
•
Database Access Component:
Provides interface to access Microsoft
Access and SQL Server 2000/2005 out of the box. If required, functional
components can be changed to access other DBMS such as Oracle or
Sybase.
•
Domain Management:
D-View allows administrators to categorize
network devices into single or multiple domains.
•
Multiple Views:
D-View supports tree and list views for viewing devices in
the domain.
•
Polling:
D-View polls network devices and displays any abnormal behavior
on the Message Board. Devices are polled using
ICMP
(Internet Control
Message Protocol) or
SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol).
•
Performance Management:
D-View provides flexible mechanism to
retrieve SNMP OID information. For example, using
Performance
Monitor
function, the administrator can monitor data ratio per port.
•
Syslog Management:
Maintain user action log information.
•
System Config:
Configure global parameters of the network, for example,
Local
and
Radius
Authentication
.
•
SNMP v3 Support:
For major MIBs including MIB II, IF- MIB (RFC2233),
Entity MIB (RFC2737), Bridge 802.1D(RFC1493), RMON, 802.1P (RFC2674)
and 802.1Q (RFC2674).
•
Resource Management:
Manage, add, or remove network device
resources from/to a topology.
•
Device Customization:
Include customized network devices by manually
entering device type information.
•
Layer 3 Utilities:
Layer 3 utilities include IP forwarding,
RIP
2
(Routing
Information Protocol),
OSPF
(Open Shortest Path First), IP MRoute,
DVMRP
(Distributed Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) and
PIM
(Protocol
Independent Multicast) functions for managing switches and advanced
routers in enterprise networks.
