Avaya Multi-Service Network Manager™ (MSNM)
When you need extra control and monitoring or wish to manage other Avaya
equipment, then the MSNM network management suite is the answer. This suite
provides the ease-of-use and features necessary for optimal network utilization.
MSNM is available for Windows® 95/NT®/2000 and Solaris 2.8
MSNM can operate in Stand-Alone mode with Windows® NT®/2000 and
Solaris 2.8.
MSNM operates under HP OpenView for Windows® 95/NT®/2000.
Port Mirroring
The P332GT-ML provides port mirroring for additional network monitoring
functionality. You can filter the traffic and mirror either incoming traffic to the
source port or both incoming and outgoing traffic. This allows you to monitor the
network traffic you need.
Ports which are members in a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) cannot also be used as
Port Mirroring Destination or Source ports.
SMON
The P332GT-ML supports Avaya’s ground-breaking SMON Switched Network
Monitoring, which the IETF has now adopted as a standard (RFC2613). SMON
provides unprecedented top-down monitoring of switched network traffic at the
following levels:
Enterprise Monitoring
Device Monitoring
VLAN Monitoring
Port-level Monitoring
This top-down approach gives you rapid troubleshooting and performance
trending to keep the network running optimally.
Note: MSNM Licence is required to run SMON monitoring.
Note: You need to purchase one SMON License per P330 Stack
Fans, Power Supply and BUPS-ML Monitoring
The P332GT-ML module has integrated sensors which provide advance warnings of
fan failure, power supply failure or Backup Power Supply (BUPS-ML) failure via
management.
