Network Management

The Managed CenturyStack Hubs offer extensive management functions including local console, remote telnet, RMON Management, MIB Browser Management, Web-Based Management and SNMP Management.

Remote Network Monitoring (RMON)

Remote Monitoring allows users to monitor LANs remotely. Users can remain at one station and collect information from many different LANs. Managed CenturyStack supports Remote Network Monitoring and enables the user to set up for RMON using Web-Based Management.

MIB Browser Management

Managing CenturyStack Hubs through a MIB browser can be an eco- nomical alternative. MIB browsers are easy to obtain and often available as shareware, or are put on management platforms such as HP OpenView or SNMPc. Management Information Base (MIB) browsers are simple utilities for monitoring and configuring the MIB objects supported by Managed CenturyStack.

Web-Based Management

Managed CenturyStack Web-Based Management enables users to monitor and manage the hubs using the familiar interface of a web browser. For more detailed information, refer to Chapter 1 of this guide.

SNMP Management Systems

SNMP is a standard management protocol that is supported on many general network platforms such as: SunNet Manager, HP OpenView for UNIX, HP OpenView for NT, SNMPc and others.

NOTE: The SNMP agent, TCP/IP stack and the Web engine are implemented on the 10Mbps bus of the master hub. Therefore the 10Mbps segment must be used for Web-Based Management in the absence of a switch module.
