What is ATM and VLAN Management? 1-3
■ Automatic discovery of switched network topology (physical and
logical)
■ Continuous state and status monitoring of relevant logical and
physical components with a scalable distributed polling engine.
■ End-to-end ATM virtual circuit tracing and graphical display
■ Configuration of PVCs (Permanent Virtual Channels)
■ Switch and link-level performance measurement with a network-wide
bandwidth monitoring and utilization monitoring tool
■ Provides the network operator with distributed network management
and distributed viewing capabilities
Virtual LAN management capabilities include:
■ Policy-based VLAN auto-configuration support
■ Common user interface to manage VLANs across all 3Com
VLAN-supported products
■ Management of ATM-based VLANs (LAN emulation) and
non-ATM-based VLANs (VLAN tagging, protocol-based)
■ Automatic discovery and logical segmentation of VLANs
■ Color-coded, device-level mapping of physical infrastructure to VLANs
■ VLAN moves with a simple drag-and-drop operation
Local Area Network Emualtion management capabilities include:
■ Automatic discovery and display of the LANE service infrastructure
along with the ATM physical network structure
■ Mapping of LANE client-server relationships and association ofproxy
LAN Emulation Client (LEC) ports
■ Virtual circuit tracing between LANE elements and mapping of
physical paths over the ATM infrastructure
■ Graphic display of LEC and LES/BUS performance statistics
■ LECS database synchronization management
■ LANE service redundancy management and automatic failover
mechanism, isolation of LANE service faults and correlation of affected
devices and segments.
