Network

Management

Module

The Asanté 2072 Network Management Module (NMM) provides overall network management for the AsantéHub 2072 or NetStacker hub. By plugging the module into any one of the expansion slots in the chassis, the NMM works with the AsantéView network management software to monitor and con- trol AH2072 NMM or NetStacker modules, gather statistics, moni- tor network traffic, and set alarm thresholds. Figure 1 shows an example of the NMM front panel.

Figure 1 Asanté 2072 Network Management Module (NMM)

ΔYou do not have to have an NMM in the chassis for the repeater modules to function properly. The NMM’s major purpose is to manage the hub and gather network statistics.

The primary features of the NMM include:

AsantéView management capability for in-band and out-of-band

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support

Segment control

Remote network management via RS232

Terminal connection via RS232

Comprehensive LEDs

Upgrading capabilities

Hub Alert Audio/Visual Aid

Interfacing with AsantéView network management software, the NMM allows you to proactively manage your network via in-band and out-of-band management from either Apple Macintosh® or Microsoft Windows® PC platforms.

The NMM has built-in SNMP support.When running AsantéView management software from a Macinosh or PC, you can control the AsantéHub 2072or NetStacker hub.

The NMM also supports both management information base (MIB)

I and II, as well as Asanté’s private MIB extension.
