To use Optivity Switch Manager, you must have the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) installed on your system. Optivity Switch Manager requires JRE 1.3.
Optivity Switch Manager features
Optivity Switch Manager is a configuration tool for troubleshooting and limited
network monitoring. It has the following features:
•
A consistent look across the Solaris and Windows platforms.
•
Spring algorithm that balances distances between devices and minimizes
crossing lines when creating the topology map.
•
A consistent graphical user interface (GUI) across Optivity Switch Manager
and submanagers and a single point of access to the submanagers.
•
Dynamic system updates across submanagers. You can simultaneously query
your device in a submanager application as you view the topology map
through Optivity Switch Manager.
•
Access control and security using community strings.
•
Network discovery that you can specify to be as large or small as you want.
•
Ability to save the layout of a discovered network for future use.
Optivity Switch Manager submanagers
Optivity Switch Manager incorporates submanagers that provide detailed device
information and management capabilities. The submanagers are designed to
provide specialized information in an easy-to-use graphical user interface that is
consistent in layout across the submanagers. A submanager can query Optivity
Switch Manager and instruct the primary application to update the topology view
with information relevant to the submanager view. For example, VLAN Manager
can instruct Optivity Switch Manager to color all the devices in the view that
include members of a particular VLAN.
