System Manager
iTap Port Aggregators can be used as a system managed via Simple Network Man-
agement Protocol (SNMP) from a single interface. Net Optics' System Manager
is an SNMP management tool that offers central management of all Net Optics
iTap devices in the network. You can organize iTaps into groups according to
workgroup, location, or any other criteria. As with Web Manager, you can view all
status, confi guration, and traffi c information and make changes quickly to any iTap
in the system. The iTap Port Aggregator generates SNMP alarm traps for system
status, threshold alarm, link status, and power status. If you are already using an
SNMP management tool, iTap Port Aggregators can be fully accessed after loading
Net Optics' Management Information Base (MIB) fi le.
Security, Visibility, and Reliability
You have the option of setting the iTap Port Aggregator so that it will not display
data on the LCD and you can turn off the Management Port, thus preventing it
from being accessed from the network. The Monitor Ports can also be turned off to
prevent unauthorized access to the network link. The monitoring device connected
to the iTap Port Aggregator sees all full-duplex traffi c including Layer 1 and Layer
2 errors. Redundant power connections provide uptime protection.
