Preface Welcome to Avaya Network Management Console in Standalone Mode. This chapter provides an introduction to the structure and assumptions of this manual. It includes the following sections: • The Purpose of This Manual - A description of the goals of this manual. • Who Should Use This Manual - The intended audience of this manual. The Purpose of This Manual This manual contains information needed to use Avaya Network Management Console in Standalone Mode efficiently and effectively.
Preface 12 • Avaya Network Management Console Introduction - An introduction to Avaya Network Management Console, including instructions on starting Avaya Network Management Console, a detailed description of Avaya Network Management Console’s user interface, and instructions on how to use Avaya Network Management Console’s on-line help.
1 Network Management in Standalone Mode This chapter provides an overview of Network Management in Standalone Mode and provides a general description of network management using Network Management in Standalone Mode. This chapter includes the following sections: • Network Management In Standalone Mode Overview - A general description of Network Management in Standalone Mode. • Network Management in Standalone Mode Terms Definitions of terms used in this documentation.
Chapter 1 Network Management In Standalone Mode Overview Network Management in Standalone Mode includes Avaya Network Management Server, and Avaya Network Management Console, an application that allows you to view the devices in your network. Avaya Network Management Console also provides a platform from which you can launch applications to manage network devices and monitor the traffic on your network.
Network Management in Standalone Mode When Avaya Network Management Server is launched, it runs a number of daemons which poll the network devices listed in the default Network Map to determine their status and updates their colors in the Avaya Network Management Console View Area. Users can manage devices or launch network-wide applications via Avaya Network Management Console.
Chapter 1 What is Avaya Network Management Server Avaya Network Management Server communicates with the devices in the network via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) V1 or V3. It receives user input via Avaya Network Management Console and updates Avaya Network Management Console with information from the network devices. Avaya Network Management Server runs in the background as a Windows 2000/XP service. The server provides a central address for event reporting.
Network Management in Standalone Mode Figure 1-2. Avaya Network Management Console When a device in the Network Tree is selected, information about the selected device appears in the Network Table. You can then modify the device’s parameters. Avaya Network Management Console also provides the ability to launch applications that communicate directly with the device.
Chapter 1 Devices can be added to the current Network Map using Discovery or the Add Device dialog box. Devices in the Network Map can also be modified. All changes to the Network Map are stored in the Network File. You can maintain multiple Network Maps by saving individual maps with unique names. The Network Map whose devices are visible in Avaya Network Management Console is the current Network Map.
Network Management in Standalone Mode Network Management communicates with device agents using SNMP. Device agents can send traps to Avaya Network Management Server reporting on the status of their ports, modules, etc. The server then passes traps to the relevant managers of the device involved and updates the Event Manager. To receive traps using Network Management in Standalone Mode, network devices must be configured to send traps to the Avaya Network Management Server.
Chapter 1 Figure 1-4. Event Log Browser The Event Manager displays all of the traps sent by Avaya Network Management Server. In the Event Manager you can: • Sort the Event Log Browser by any of its fields. • Filter the traps displayed and change the severity of selected traps. • Acknowledge traps to help you remember which traps you have already seen. • Define the format of the description field. • Delete traps, signifying that the problem causing the trap was resolved.
Network Management in Standalone Mode What is Remote Access Avaya Network Management Console can be accessed remotely using a web browser. This allows you to manage your network from a computer where Network Management is not installed. When you point your browser to the Avaya Network Management Server’s IP address, a Java applet prepares your browser to communicate with Avaya Network Management Server. A welcome screen appears, followed by a password screen.
