System Description
H3C S3600 Series Ethernet Switches
Chapter 4 System Maintenance and Management
4-2
The S3600 series allow you to upgrade the software:
Through a serial port with the XModem protocol.
Through an Ethernet port with TFTP or FTP (at the local or remotely).
Through the Web-based NMS with HTTP.
4.2 Quidview NMS
The S3600 series support Huawei-3Com Quidview NMS for centralized management,
which is usually implemented in multilingual graphic interfaces. The NMS provides
management in topology, configuration, fault, security, and performance.
4.2.1 Topology Management
The Quidview helps you learn your network in the most direct and convenient way by
providing a network-wide device topology view. The Quidview delivers powerful
topology management. It provides the physical topology view, logical topology view,
and customized views, offering a unified network-wide equipment view. It also provides
the user-friendly interface for network/equipment operation and maintenance. The
system supports automatic topology discovery, reflecting the real-time changes in
network topology and equipment status.
4.2.2 Configuration Management
With the Quidview, you can configure and manage the S2000-EI, such as
query/enable/disable ports, query/reset/load boards, and query port parameters/VLAN
configurations.
4.2.3 Fault Management
Fault management is the most important and common management approach during
the network operation and maintenance. In the graphic interfaces, you can implement
equipment running/fault status query, real-time monitoring, fault
filtering/locating/check/analysis. The system provides audio prompt and graphical
displays on the alarm card. Additionally, it can be connected to the alarm box and
therefore facilitates routine maintenance.
4.2.4 Performance Management
The Quidview can collect and analyze performance data, monitor performance, and
provide graphical performance reports in different forms. You can thus learn the
information on equipment load and access traffic, track network service quality, and
allocate network resources based on your network evaluation.
