Introduction
1-4 Conventions
Instructions on discovering Cabletron devices, creating icons, and accessing the
icon menus within your management platform are included in your
Installing
and Using SPECTRUM for...
guide. If you are using SPMA for the EMM-E6 in
stand-alone mode — that is, without benefit of a specific network management
system — instructions for starting each application from the command line are
included in each chapter of this guide and the
SPMA Tools Guide
.
Also available from the icon menu or the command line is the option which
provides access to BRIM-related applications and two options which provide
access to router-related applications: the
BRIM
option is described in the
SPMA
BRIM Applications User’s Guide
; the
Basic Router Config
, and
Advanced
Router Config
,
options are described in documentation shipped with your order
of routing applications, which must be purchased separately.
Conventions
SPECTRUM Portable Management Applications — including the EMM-E6
module — can work with a number of different network management systems
running on several different operating systems and graphical user interfaces. This
versatility presents two documentation problems: first, there is no standard
terminology; and second, the appearance of the windows will differ based on the
NOTE
If you are using SPMA in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with the SunNet
Manager or Solstice Enterprise Manager platforms, the RMON option will be available
for all appropriate devices whether or not you have purchased the RMON application
module. If you are using SPMA in conjunction with HP Network Node Manager or IBM
NetView, however, the RMON option will only appear when the module has been
purchased and installed.
NOTE
Graphing capabilities are provided by an application that is included in HP Network
Node Manager and IBM NetView; therefore, graphs are only available when SPMA is
run in conjunction with one of these network management platforms. If you are running
SPMA in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with SunNet Manager or Solstice
Enterprise Manager, no graphing capabilities are available and no graph-related options
will be displayed on buttons or menus. Note that the screens displayed in this guide will
include the graph-related options where they are available; please disregard these
references if they do not apply.
NOTE
Please note that the routing functionality for your EMM-E6, as well as the SPMA
management modules that allow you to configure and manage that functionality, must be
purchased separately. Contact the Cabletron Systems Global Call Center or your local
sales representative for more information.
