Chapter 1: Product Overview 3
Spoke servers perform database replication with the hub server. The hub server acts as the
coordinator for database replication between itself and all of the other spoke servers in a DSView 3
software system. A hub server and a spoke server both offer the same DSView 3 software
functionality to a user. The distinction of hub or spoke refers only to the database replication role
that the server plays and not with the functionality that the server provides. Adding one or more
spoke servers to a DSView 3 software system provides redundancy and the ability to distribute
DSView 3 software functionality across multiple sites.
After the hub server and optional spoke server(s) are configured, you may create and configure the
type of access levels for users within your network environment. You may also set up event logs to
record full details of user access and other events.
DSView 3 software client
A DSView 3 software client is a computer with a web browser that can access the DSView 3
management software installed on the DSView 3 software server.
Third party products
Third party products are not a part of the DSView 3 software, but are supported for use with it.
External authentication servers - An external authentication server enables the DSView 3 software
server to broker authentication requests from users requesting access to the DSView 3
software system.
SNMP managers - The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) manager monitors the
managed appliances and receives SNMP traps from the DSView 3 software on the server. An
example of an SNMP manager is the HP OpenView product.
Third party Telnet viewers - A third party Telnet viewer may be used for serial sessions instead of
the DSView 3 software Telnet Viewer.
Third party session software - Third party software such as RDP or VNC, when properly installed
and configured on the target device, may be enabled for use within the DSView 3 software for
initiating sessions with the target device.
Supported Units
For management functions, the DSView 3 software client uses HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol with SSL encryption) to send a request to the DSView 3 software server, which then sends
a command to the managed appliance. The appliance then performs the requested function.
The DSView 3 software supports the managed appliances listed in this section. Other appliances
may be supported by plug-ins; see the Avocent web site, www.avocent.com, for a list of plug-ins
that may currently ship with the DSView 3 software and/or that can be added to the DSView 3
software. See
Plug-ins for information about adding and managing plug-ins in the DSView 3
software system.
