What is ATM and VLAN Management? 1-3

Automatic discovery of switched network topology (physical and logical)

Continuous state and status monitoring of relevant logical and physical components with a scalable distributed polling engine.

End-to-end ATM virtual circuit tracing and graphical display

Configuration of PVCs (Permanent Virtual Channels)

Switch and link-level performance measurement with a network-wide bandwidth monitoring and utilization monitoring tool

Provides the network operator with distributed network management and distributed viewing capabilities

Virtual LAN management capabilities include:

Policy-based VLAN auto-configuration support

Common user interface to manage VLANs across all 3Com VLAN-supported products

Management of ATM-based VLANs (LAN emulation) and non-ATM-based VLANs (VLAN tagging, protocol-based)

Automatic discovery and logical segmentation of VLANs

Color-coded, device-level mapping of physical infrastructure to VLANs

VLAN moves with a simple drag-and-drop operation

Local Area Network Emualtion management capabilities include:

Automatic discovery and display of the LANE service infrastructure along with the ATM physical network structure

Mapping of LANE client-server relationships and association ofproxy LAN Emulation Client (LEC) ports

Virtual circuit tracing between LANE elements and mapping of physical paths over the ATM infrastructure

Graphic display of LEC and LES/BUS performance statistics

LECS database synchronization management

LANE service redundancy management and automatic failover mechanism, isolation of LANE service faults and correlation of affected devices and segments.
