Overview of NetSight Element Manager
Remote Administration Tools
Remote Administration Tools is a utility suite which allows you to conveniently perform routine management tasks on a single device — or on a group of devices — from your remote workstation, rather than requiring local terminal access to each device. Among these tasks are:
•Configuring TFTP and BOOTP sessions with a selected device or device group.
•Adding workstation IP addresses to the trap table(s) of a selected device or device group.
•Searching a group of devices for the port through which a specified MAC address is communicating.
•Performing MIB SETs, using a template of MIB objects and values, on one or more devices.
•Performing MIB GETs, using a template of MIB objects, from one or more devices for statistics and trend analysis.
•Performing a soft reboot on selected devices.
•Changing access community names on selected devices.
For more information about these tools, see the Remote Administration Tools User’s Guide, included in your documentation set.
Scheduler Tool
The Scheduler tool allows you to schedule certain administrative actions so that they can be performed while your workstation is unattended. These actions include:
•Performing discovery sessions (using scripts defined using the Discover application).
•Launching selected programs, including TFTP downloads, MIB statistics recordings, and MIB loads via the Remote Administration Tools application.
•Backing up files (NetSight Element Manager data files, or any other files you choose).
•Setting up automated paging (by defining individuals or groups of individuals to be paged, and specifying their availability to be paged). The paging feature is integrated with NetSight Element Manager alarm and event handling, so that a scheduled page can be performed as part of an interactive foreground action, or an unattended background action.
For more information about the Scheduler tool, see the Tools Guide, included in your documentation set.
