Chapter 1 Avaya P332G-ML Overview

Avaya Multi-Service Network Manager™ (MSNM)

When you need extra control and monitoring or wish to manage other Avaya equipment, then the MSNM network management suite is the answer. This suite provides the ease-of-use and features necessary for optimal network utilization.

•MSNM is available for Windows® 95/NT®/2000 and Solaris 2.8

•MSNM can operate in Stand-Alone mode with Windows® NT®/2000 and Solaris 2.8.

•MSNM operates under HP OpenView for Windows® 95/NT®/2000.

Port Mirroring

The P332G-ML provides port mirroring for additional network monitoring functionality. You can filter the traffic and mirror either incoming traffic to the source port or both incoming and outgoing traffic. This allows you to monitor the network traffic you need.

Ports which are members in a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) cannot also be used as Port Mirroring Destination or Source ports.

SMON

The P332G-ML supports Avaya’s ground-breaking SMON Switched Network Monitoring, which the IETF has now adopted as a standard (RFC2613). SMON provides unprecedented top-down monitoring of switched network traffic at the following levels:

•Enterprise Monitoring

•Device Monitoring

•VLAN Monitoring

•Port-level Monitoring

This top-down approach gives you rapid troubleshooting and performance trending to keep the network running optimally.

Note: MSNM Licence is required to run SMON monitoring.

Note: You need to purchase one SMON License per P330 Stack

Fans, Power Supply and BUPS-ML Monitoring

The P332G-ML module has integrated sensors which provide advance warnings of fan failure, power supply failure or Backup Power Supply (BUPS-ML) failure via management.
