SNMP Management
With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now
manage Verilink units and their integral CSUs/DSUs as a single unit. With
only one LAN segment in the network, all Verilink platforms can be managed
by SNMP. With self-learning functionality, these platforms learn their frame
relay environment and eliminate the need for remote, trained personnel. By
downloading all configuration parameters from the central site, no interaction
is required at remote sites to establish connectivity. WANs can be constructed
using frame relay or leased-line services. Network managers can now fine
tune the enterprise network for the lowest cost and highest performance.
Intelligent WAN Access Architecture
Verilink's next-generation WAN access architecture is built around a
PowerPC™ processor, and works with non-proprietary network management
solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use
interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for
mapping services to ports, an endpoint table for configuring and monitoring
service endpoints, and a user table for traffic monitoring and control.
Optional Advanced Network Management
As an option for the T1 Access Router, Verilink offers a network
management system based on RedPoint's NetVoyant™ software, which was
designed to provide IT professionals with the information required to make
informed, enterprise-wide capacity-planning and investment decisions.
NetVoyant is an NT-based element management system that includes an
ODBC-compliant database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility,
real-time diagnostics, and extensive reporting and trending application
support. The solution employs an open-system, multi-vendor support approach
for network management, monitoring, and the collection of statistics from any
SNMP-based networking device, including Verilink equipment already in the
field.
The T1 Access Router extends the functionality of NetVoyant’s software by
incorporating customized configuration modules. This advanced network
management system is offered as an option for the T1 Access Router. Please
contact Verilink for availability and pricing information.
