Introduction to SPMA for the TRMMIM

•Trap Table

The Charts, Graphs, and Meters application is accessible from the Hub View and the command line; the Global Find MAC Address Tool is accessible from the platform console window Tools menu; the MIBTree application is accessible from the platform console window Tools menu, the Stand-alone Launcher window, and the command line; the Telnet application is available from the command line; the rest of the tool applications are available only from the icon menu or the command line.

NOTE

Graphing capabilities are provided by an application that is included in HP Network Node Manager and IBM NetView; therefore, graphs are only available when SPMA is run in conjunction with one of these network management platforms. If you are running SPMA in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with SunNet Manager, no graphing capabilities are available and no graph-related options will be displayed on buttons or menus. Note that the screens displayed in this guide will include the graph-related options where they are available; please disregard these references if they do not apply.

Instructions on discovering Cabletron devices, creating icons, and accessing the icon menus within your management platform are included in your Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide. If you are using SPMA for the TRMMIM in stand-alone mode (without benefit of a specific network management system), instructions for starting each application from the command line are included in each chapter, both in this guide and in the SPMA Tools Guide.

Conventions

The family of SPECTRUM Portable Management Applications can work with a number of different network management systems running on several different operating systems and graphical user interfaces. This versatility presents two documentation problems: first, there is no standard terminology; and second, the appearance of the windows will differ based on the graphical interface in use. For the sake of consistency, the following conventions will be followed throughout this and other SPMA guides.

Screen Displays

SPMA runs under a variety of different operating systems and graphical user interfaces. To maintain a consistent presentation, screen displays in this and other SPMA guides show an OSF/Motif environment. If you’re used to a different GUI, don’t worry; the differences are minor. Buttons, boxes, borders, and menus displayed on your screen may look a bit different from what you see in the guide, but they’re organized and labelled the same, located in the same places, and perform the same functions in all screen environments.
