What is Optivity Switch Manager?
Optivity Switch Manager is a Java-based network management application that
allows you to discover and view up to 100 network devices and their physical
links on a topology map. Once your network is discovered, you can monitor,
manage, and configure protocols and settings in devices in the network using the
following submanagers within Optivity Switch Manager:
•
VLAN Manager
•
MultiLink Trunking Manager
•
Multicast Manager
•
Log Manager
In addition to these submanagers, Optivity Switch Manager has an associated
standalone application,
Device Manager
, that provides the ability to completely
configure and manage a single device in the network.
Optivity Switch Manager allows you to manage small to medium-size networks.
Since Optivity Switch Manager is a Java-based tool, it is platform-independent.
Optivity Switch Manager is also a real-time SNMP tool, allowing you to save the
topology map, error log, preferences, and communities in the application.
