Hardware Management

The hardware management unit controls the following:

■Static hardware configuration

■Dynamic hardware configuration (operation status management)

■Hardware revision

■Software revision

■Own IP address

■NMS address

■Connection-related parameter control (e.g., the number of VPIs of the line)

These pieces of information are stored in a database called a Management Information Base (MIB). Information stored in the MIB can be set and read from a MAT.

The NMS uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to access the MIB of each device in the network and centrally manage faults and configuration data of the devices.
