Using iView²

iView² is a network management application for IMC Networks’ intelligent networking devices. It features a graphic user interface (GUI) and gives network managers the ability to monitor and control products from a variety of platforms.

Using iView² with HP OpenView

During the installation, the iView² application will ask if HP OpenView is installed on the management PC. Click Yes to integrate the appropriate files. Once in OpenView, highlight the media converter icon and select the media converter; OpenView will then launch iView².

Other NMS Applications

If using an application other than iView² for management, integrate the SNMP vendor MIBs, which can be found in the MIB directory on the CD or the subdirectory of iView² installed on the chosen hard drive of a workstation: MCIMCV2c.MIB.

Refer to the application's documentation for information on how MIB files are integrated.

Update Manager

iView² offers the option of scheduling an update search for IMC Networks’ devices listed in the Network outline. Within iView², select Tools/SNMP Options from the navigation toolbar. Select Update Manager Options, and a dialog box will be displayed, in which you can select when to run the update search. This option enables the end user to determine if they have the latest firmware, and download the latest if they do not. It does not automatically run the download, so the end user can review the release notes included with the binary file, and decide whether to download it or not.

SNMP specifications

IMC Networks is a recognized leader in networking solutions, specializing in the design and manufacture of high-quality, reliable products for data transport and connectivity. A critical component of its robust portfolio is the incorporation of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which plays a vital role in maintaining the operational efficiency of network systems.

SNMP is a widely used protocol that enables the monitoring and management of network devices. IMC Networks integrates SNMP support in its products, allowing administrators to effectively oversee and manage their network infrastructure. One of the primary features of IMC Networks’ SNMP implementation is its ability to provide real-time visibility into device status and performance. This capability allows network managers to track various parameters such as traffic load, bandwidth utilization, and device health, making it easier to identify and address potential issues before they escalate.

Another significant characteristic of IMC Networks SNMP solutions is their support for multiple SNMP versions. By accommodating SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3, IMC Networks ensures compatibility with a wide range of network management systems. SNMPv3, in particular, offers enhanced security features, including authentication and encryption, providing a more secure way to manage network devices. This versatility allows organizations to adopt a gradual upgrade approach to SNMP without disrupting existing network operations.

IMC Networks also emphasizes the ease of integration and use within its SNMP-enabled devices. Network administrators can seamlessly incorporate these devices into existing management frameworks, simplifying the monitoring and reporting process. SNMP traps and alerts can be configured to notify administrators of specified events, enhancing proactive management of network resources.

Moreover, the scalability of IMC Networks’ SNMP solutions is worth noting. As organizations grow, the need for a network that can expand accordingly becomes paramount. The SNMP capabilities provided by IMC Networks allow for the addition of new devices without requiring significant changes to the existing management infrastructure.

In conclusion, IMC Networks’ integration of SNMP within its networking solutions offers substantial benefits, including real-time monitoring, multi-version support, enhanced security, and ease of integration. These features position IMC Networks as an ideal choice for organizations seeking reliable networking solutions that facilitate efficient network management and operational excellence. The implementation of SNMP, therefore, is not just a technical detail but a strategic advantage for those looking to maintain optimal network performance.
