8.2 IBM Nways Campus Manager ATM Overview

This chapter describes an introduction to the Nways Campus Manager ATM.

This is a state-of-the-art network manager for ATM campus network. Nways Campus Manager ATM is a fully integrated package of network management applications for campus ATM networks. This application provides a complete ATM topology and management package for all ATM-capable IBM devices, such as ATM switches, ATM concentrators, and ATM bridges. This application is available on IBM and HP platforms.

Nways Campus Manager ATM provides management of IBM ATM subsystems and provides device management applications, also called product-specific modules (PSMs), for stand-alone or integrated (as an ATM module) IBM ATM hardware devices. Nways Campus Manager ATM provides device configuration and ATM network topology views that enable network administrators to quickly determine the status of the network and its components. Also, an ATM management function is included providing the capability to graphically display ATM connections on each user-device port (UNI port) of ATM switches. This feature allows network administrators to perform a visual connection tracking from one endpoint to another.

The Nways Campus Manager ATM is supported on the following platforms:

Nways Campus Manager ATM for HP-UX

This is the HP-UX version of Nways Campus Manager ATM and is similar to it in terms of implementation and functionality.

Nways Manager for Windows

This is a simple, straightforward product, but with limited functions. It is best suited for small ATM networks, such as for the management of stand-alone ATM workgroup switches.

The main difference to the others are:
