2.3 SNMP
You can manage the switch via SNMP from a network management station.
For this purpose, it is recommended to use the SNMPc, an easy-to-install and use network
management platform that runs on Windows based PC’s. It uses the SNMP agent statistical
sampling software that is included in the switch to provide powerful, but easy-to-use traffic
monitoring and network activity analysis tools.
2.3.1 Bitview and Hubview
The BitView and HubView can be seen through SNMPc (Management PC Software).
Xtreme’s that have BitView and HubView definitions can be managed graphically.
BitView displays a bitmap image that matches the faceplate of the device, whereas
HubView is a more generic view that shows the layout of the device, but always uses the
same picture elements. BitView is functionally similar to HubView, but displays a more
realistic image of supported devices.
Generally, all the LEDs and other graphical elements available on the device front panel can
be displayed with BitView. As with HubView, you can select a device slot or port, and then
a menu to operate on the selected item.
