SNMP Management Software
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication
protocol designed specifically for managing devices or other
elements on a network. Network equipment commonly managed
with SNMP includes hubs, switches, bridges, routers and host
computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for
proper operation in a network environment, as well as monitor
them to evaluate performance and detect potential problems.
SMC provides EliteView network management software for free
with all of its manageable products. EliteView contains a complete
management platform, including network discovery, mapping,
event manager, log manager, MIB browser, RMON analysis tools,
and device management modules. SMC also provide optional
plug-in device management modules for HP OpenView.
Remote Monitoring
Remote Monitoring (RMON) provides a cost-effective way to
monitor large networks by placing embeded or external probes on
distributed network equipment (hubs, switches or routers). SMC’s
EliteView network management software can access the probes
embedded in recent SMC network products to perform traffic
analysis, troubleshoot network problems, evaluate historical
trends, or implement proactive management policies. RMON has
already become a valuable tool for network managers faced with a
quickly changing network landscape that contains dozens or
hundreds of separate segments. RMON is the only way to retain
control of the network and analyze applications running at
multi-megabit speeds. It provides the tools you need to implement
either reactive or proactive policies that can keep your network
running based on real-time access to key statistical information.
