At the left-hand bottom corner ConfiguRAD provides some auxiliary management
tools:
• Status – shows the number of users currently managing Optimux-108
• Trace – opens an additional pane for system messages, progress indicators
(ping, software and configuration file downloads) and alarms. It is
recommended to keep the trace pane open all the time.
• Refresh All – refreshes all ConfiguRAD display elements.
Working with SNMP-based Management System
RADview-PC/TDM and RADview-HPOV/TDM
RADview-PC and RADview-HPOV are user-friendly and powerful SNMP-based
element management systems, used for planning, provisioning, and managing
heterogeneous networks. RADview software provides a graphical user interface
for monitoring RAD products via their SNMP agents.
RADview management software for Optimux-108 is bundled in the
RADview-PC/TDM and RADview-HPOV/TDM packages for PC (Windows-based) or
Unix, respectively.
For more details about this network management software, and for detailed
instructions on how to install, set up, and use RADview, contact your local
Authorized Business Partner or refer to the RADview-PC/TDM and
RADview-HPOV/TDM User's Manuals, located on the Technical Documentation CD
or on RAD's Web site.
Third-party SNMP-based NMS
Alternatively, Optimux-108 can be managed via a third-party SNMP-based NMS.
Optimux-108 supports several management information bases (MIBs). A MIB
(Management Information Base) is a database of managed objects. The MIB
contains the data regarding the network elements being controlled and
monitored. Each characteristic of the element to manage is defined as an object
in the MIB. The MIB is a hierarchical tree structure that acts as the repository for
defined objects. Each object has an object name, a type, syntax, an access code
(read-write, read-only, not-accessible, and write-only) and a status (mandatory,
optional, obsolete).
Optimux-108 supports appropriate groups (tables) of MIB II (SNMP standard MIB),
and the RAD Private MIB as follows:
MIB Notes Tables
RFC3418 MIB-II IANAiftype
RFC2863 MIB-II if
RFC3593 MIB-II PreHist-TC
RFC3895 Partially supported dsx1ConfigTable
