The functional highlights of Nways Campus Manager ATM V1 are as follows:
ATM Network Topology Management
The Nways Campus Manager ATM is fully integrated in the NetView for AIX
or HP OpenView topology database. This means that it is possible to
navigate from NetView for AIX or HP OpenView IP map to the ATM topology
map using the protocol switching function. This reduces the time network
operators need to perform their most current tasks and also gives status
correlation among the following different domains:
•ATM Topology Map
•IP Topology Map, which means ATM IP nodes (correlated with ATM
objects)
•Hub Expanded View, which comes with Nways Campus Manager LAN
package. This means an IBM 8260 ATM node is correlated with a
physical hub view from Nways Campus Manager LAN.
The following topology features are provided as well:
•Automatic discovery of ATM nodes and physical links between elements
ATM nodes, such as IBM 8285, 8260, 8281 and 8282, are automatically
discovered, placed in the submap and monitored. When the
configuration of the network changes, the discovery capability indicates
the changes and updates the corresponding network submap.
•Dynamic display of the topology hierarchy of ATM nodes and their
operating status
The graphical topology display uses a color code to represent the status
of the following levels of resources displayed in submaps:
−ATM Campus
−ATM Clusters
−ATM Nodes
−ATM Interfaces
ATM Resource Configuration
The Nways Campus Manager ATM provides easy access to various submap
levels allowing users to set and change the ATM switch and node
configuration. The following resources can be configured or displayed:
•ATM physical resources, such as ATM interface ports
•PVC, including create, delete, set up and tear down (UNI)
•SVC, including tracking and forced clearing (UNI)
•VP and VC link
ATM Fault Management
The Nways Campus Manager ATM provides a complete set of messages,
traps and event notifications. The integration of this information into NetView
for AIX enables retrievability and more efficient problem determination. The
user can customize the events in such a way to reduce the amount of
information to manage large networks effectively.
The Nways Campus Manager ATM allows the recognition of network
management information, which is described in 8.1, “Management
Information Bases (MIBs)” on page 145, from different sources, supporting:
