Introducing the
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.
