SNMP MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
SNMP Management Software
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication protocol designed specifically for managing devices or other elements on a network. Network equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes hubs, switches, bridges, routers and host computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for proper operation in a network environment, as well as monitor them to evaluate performance and detect potential problems.
SMC provides EliteView network management software for free with all of its manageable products. EliteView contains a complete management platform, including network discovery, mapping, event manager, log manager, MIB browser, RMON analysis tools, and device management modules. SMC also provides optional plug-in device management modules for HP OpenView.
Remote Monitoring
Remote Monitoring (RMON) provides a cost-effective way to monitor large networks by placing embedded or external probes on distributed network equipment (hubs, switches or routers). SMC’s EliteView network management software can access the probes embedded in recent SMC network products to perform traffic analysis, troubleshoot network problems, evaluate historical trends, or implement proactive management policies. RMON has already become a valuable tool for network managers faced with a quickly changing network landscape that contains dozens or hundreds of separate segments. RMON is the only way to retain control of the network and analyze applications running at multi-megabit speeds. It provides the tools you need to implement either reactive or proactive policies that can keep your network running based on real-time access to key statistical information.
