Network Management Tools

The following network managements are compatible with Passport 4460 units:

Optivity NMS 9.0

Offers a powerful set of tools for automating the management of diverse, multivendor networks. With Optivity NMS 9.0, you can control activity on an enterprise network (a network of heterogeneous Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and Frame Relay internetworks that consist of high-speed backbones, geographically dispersed networks, local wiring closet hubs, routers, servers, end-user workstations, and a variety of cabling media) all from a single management station.

Preside Multiservice Data Manager (PMDM)

A network management platform used in heterogeneous networks as a method of standardization of information processing. Used in large networks, PMDM is highly scalable and offers many tools. Surveillance of all the devices is done using the same set of tools and presents results consistently across devices.

Open Management System for Passport (OMS-P, Version 4.1)

A SNMP-based network management platform that builds on a third party product (HP OpenView) and adds device integration into that product. Used in large networks of heterogeneous SNMP devices and provides a common representation of different devices and their management information.
