Using the Stand-alone Launcher
Adding devices to the Launcher database; how to assign the appropriate community
names; discovering devices; launching applications from the Launcher and the command
line; using and customizing the Launcher menus; viewing documentation
Outside the Solstice Enterprise Manager platform, SPMA
applications can be accessed in either of two ways: directly from the
command line (as speciÞcally described in the SPMA Tools Guide
and the device- and application-speciÞc UserÕs Guides); or via the
Stand-alone Launcher utility. In addition to providing a convenient
access to SPMA applications, the Stand-alone Launcher allows you to
add third-party applications to its device-speciÞc menus; you can
also maintain a database of your Cabletron devices, which will
automatically be loaded each time you use the Launcher utility. You
can create your database by either manually adding devices to the
Launcher or by using the LauncherÕs Discover tool, which will search
one or more ranges of IP addresses for the devices you specify and
automatically add the discovered devices to your launcher database.
The Launcher will also allow you to add a Generic SNMP device to
the database, and provide access to the MIB I, II application
(described in the SPMA Tools Guide).
