http:\\www.3com.com\tns. 3Com Network Supervisor provides powerful
yet easy-to-use network management tuned to the needs of small to
medium enterprises. Automated operations and intelligent defaults assist
network managers while advanced features are also available.
An intuitive user interface focuses on the tasks and information all
managers need in order to take control of their network. A discovery
wizard finds IP devices and links on the network including the 3Com
Switch 4005 and NBX telephones providing true converged network
management. It will discover up to 1500 devices excluding phones. 3NS
version 3 automatically detects network misconfgurations and
optimization opportunities.
After discovery the network structure is automatically mapped to provide
a graphical display of devices and connections. Working from the map
the network manager can quickly monitor stress, set thresholds and
alerts, view network events, generate reports and launch device
configuration tools. 3NS version 3 introduces key “Smart Event Engine”
functionality enabling users to automatically spot recurring and correlated
events.
To provide fast notification of problems 3Com Network Supervisor alerts
announce network problems via audio/visual alarms such as pagers or
SMS messages as well as email.
Network event tracking and reporting of network capacity, inventory and
topology as well as the ability to generate custom reports facilitate
proactive network management.
