170 TM 3.1 management and configuration of IP Trunk3.01 (and later)
2. In theory,a single TM 3.1 installation can support up to 500 system’s.
However,TM 3.1 applications requiring real-time, such as Traffic
Analysis retrieval of trafficdata, are limited to a much smaller number
of systems.
3. TM 3.1 Alarm Notification can receive a maximum of 20 SNMP traps
per second (based on the recommended PC configuration). In large
networks, Nortel recommends that multiple TM 3.1 PCs be used to
collect traps from the IP trunk cards, each PC supporting one or more IP
Trunk3.01 (and later) nodes. Alarm notification scripts can be used to
forward critical alarms to a central TM 3.1 PC or Network Management
application.
TM 3.1 network setup guidelines
Install TM 3.1 in a standalone mode or in a network environment. For IP
Trunk3.01 (and later) nodes, install TM 3.1 in a network environment to
manage multiple IP Trunk3.01 (and later) nodes, provide multi-user access,
and maintain IP Trunk3.01 (and later) configuration data consistency.
In the network environment, TM 3.1 stores databases on a file server. Do
not use the server to access TM 3.1 as a client PC.TM 3.1 with Windows
98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 clients are supported on the
following platforms:
•Windows 2000
•Windows NT 4.0
•TM 3.1 1.0 client requires an TM 3.1 server
TM 3.1 remote access configuration
Support for remote access can be covered in two scenarios that vary
according to the support organizations access to the customer’s data
network LAN or WAN.
In the first scenario, the support organization has full access to the customer
LAN/WAN. See Figure 32 "Remote access with full access to customer
LAN/WAN" (page 171).
