Chapter 1 Avaya P334T-ML Overview

Avaya Integrated Manager

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

•MSNM is available for Microsoft 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 P330-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.

Within the P334T-ML switch, port mirroring can be configured between ports in the three following groups:

•1-12, 25-36

•13-24, 37-48

•51, 52

On the stack level, port mirroring pairs can be configured between any Giga port, and between any Giga port on the P334T-ML and any 10/100Mbps port not residing on a P334T-ML.

SMON

The P330-ML switches support 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.

An Avaya Integrated Manager Licence is required to run SMON monitoring. You need to purchase one SMON License per P330 Stack
