Avaya Integrated Manager
When you need extra control and monitoring or wish to manage other Avaya
equipment, then the Integrated Manager network management suite is the answer.

utilization.

• 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 P330-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.
Within the P334T-ML switch, port mirroring can be configured between ports in the
three following groups:
• 1-12, 25-36
• 13-24, 37-48
• 51, 52
On the stack level, port mirroring pairs can be configured between any Giga port,
and between any Giga port on the P334T-ML and any 10/100Mbps port not residing
on a P334T-ML.
SMON
The P330-ML switches support 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.
L An Avaya Integrated Manager Licence is required to run SMON monitoring.
L You need to purchase one SMON License per P330 Stack
