8 CenturyStack 8100 Managed Hub
Network Management
The Managed CenturyStack Hubs offer extensive management functions
including local console, remote telnet, RMON Management, MIB
Browser Management, Web-Based Management and SNMP Management.
Remote Network Monitoring (RMON)
Remote Monitoring allows users to monitor LANs remotely. Users can
remain at one station and collect information from many different LANs.
Managed CenturyStack supports Remote Network Monitoring and enables
the user to set up for RMON using Web-Based Management.
MIB Browser Management
Managing CenturyStack Hubs through a MIB browser can be an eco-
nomical alternative. MIB browsers are easy to obtain and often available
as shareware, or are put on management platforms such as HP OpenView
or SNMPc. Management Information Base (MIB) browsers are simple
utilities for monitoring and configuring the MIB objects supported by
Managed CenturyStack.
Web-Based Management
Managed CenturyStack Web-Based Management enables users to monitor
and manage the hubs using the familiar interface of a web browser. For
more detailed information, refer to Chapter 1 of this guide.
SNMP Management Systems
SNMP is a standard management protocol that is supported on many
general network platforms such as: SunNet Manager, HP OpenView for
UNIX, HP OpenView for NT, SNMPc and others.
NOTE: The SNMP agent, TCP/IP stack and the Web engine are
implemented on the 10Mbps bus of the master hub. Therefore the
10Mbps segment must be used for Web-Based Management in the
absence of a switch module.
