System Overview
•
PMC driver
software performs the runtime tasks on PMC interface cards mounted in
SmartNode 2000 series devices. The PMC drivers are interface card specific and also have
build numbers. Refer to the SmartWare release notes for PMC driver software compatibility.
The PMC drivers may be upgraded together with a SmartWare release or they can be
downloaded individually onto the device flash memory file system.
3.4 SmartView Management Tools
SmartWare provides two standard element management interfaces:
•
The
Command Line Interface (CLI),
which supports full online configuration and monitoring
access for the operator
•
The
SNMP agent
and
MIB
, with an emphasis on inventory and alarm management for
integration in a 3
rd
party Network Management System (NMS)
With the aid of configuration files and TFTP up and downloads, the SmartNodes can also be
managed offline using standard text editors and file systems.
A number of host-based management applications are available to facilitate the generation, editing
and maintenance of configuration files. Tools are also available for the integration of SmartNode
management into standard network management platforms such as HP OpenView.
