226APPENDIX A: 3COM NETWORK MANAGEMENT

3Com Network

3Com Network Director (3ND) is a standalone application that allows you

Director

to carry out key management and administrative tasks on midsized

 

networks. By using 3ND you can discover, map, and monitor all your

 

3Com devices on the network. It simplifies tasks such as backup and

 

restore for 3Com device configurations as well as firmware and agent

 

upgrades. 3ND makes it easy to roll out network-wide configuration

 

changes with its intelligent VLAN configuration tools and the powerful

 

template based configuration tools. Detailed statistical monitoring and

 

historical reporting give you visibility into how your network is

 

performing.

3Com Network

3Com Network Access Manager is installed seamlessly into Microsoft

Access Manager

Active Directory and Internet Authentication Service (IAS). It simplifies the

 

task of securing the network perimeter by allowing the administrator to

 

easily control network access directly from the “Users and Computers”

 

console in Microsoft Active Directory. With a single click, a user (or even

 

an entire department) can be moved to a different VLAN, or a computer

 

can be blocked from connecting to the network.

 

3Com Network Access Manager leverages the advanced desktop security

 

capabilities of 3Com switches and wireless access points (using IEEE

 

802.1X or RADA desktop authentication) to control both user and

 

computer access to the network.
