Optivity Analysis Part of the Bay
Networks Optivity Enterprise family
of network management applications,
Optivity Analysis provides RMON
tools that deliver full RMON support,
including support for an industry
first—Layer 3 traffic monitoring. The
RMON tools of Optivity Analysis
provide a powerful means to monitor
and analyze the enterprise network
leveraging embedded RMON. The
Traffic Matrix display gives MAC or
Network Layer traffic statistics. By
providing Network Layer (OSI Layer
3) traffic monitoring, Optivity
Analysis gives powerful insights into
traffic across routers. Key Token Ring
Source Route Bridging statistics can
also be monitored. Furthermore,
RMON agent-based alarms and
events can be set up either manually,
or through an automated enterprise
baselining and learning tool.
Optivity Planning Another part of
the Optivity Enterprise family consists
of DesignMan™, a powerful graphics-
based network design tool for
planning network segmentation,
and NetReporter™, an easy-to-use
application that collects data from
RMON probes and automatically gen-
erates graphical and tabular reports
on network performance.
NetReporter allows a network manag-
er to quantify and analyze the behav-
ior of the enterprise network over
time. By retrieving real-time data from
RMON probes, a high-level view is
provided, which can be configured to
display all segments simultaneously
or a subset of designated LANs.
NetReporter automatically generates a
variety of predefined or user-defined
reports in tabular or graphical formats.
Reports can be generated for weekly,
monthly, quarterly, or annual reports,
and data gathered by multiple collec-
tors can be combined to deliver a
single, consolidated report.
Network managers can track key
performance characteristics, including
utilization, errors, protocol mix, and
end-to-end conversations by analyz-
ing changes in resource use over
time. This data can be used for plan-
ning network reconfigurations and
expansions to provide more efficient
resource utilization. All data is
Structured Query Language (SQL)-
accessible, enabling the use of the
NetReporter advanced GUI or data-
base management systems (DBMS)
for report generation.
Technician Interface This termi-
nal-based (TTY-compatible) tool
enables basic configuration and
maintenance locally or through
Telnet. The Technician Interface is
based on a simple command line
interpreter that supports SNMP-based
access to the Management
Information Base (MIB), displays the
event log, and supports file system
management and other administrative
commands. The Technician Interface
also supports out-of-band access to
the BayStack AN and ANH through
a modem connection.
Bay Command Console (BCC™)
This terminal-based (TTY-compati-
ble) tool simplifies local or remote
platform installation and maintenance.
It is accessed through a directly
attached terminal or PC running
terminal emulation software or a
Telnet session. With BCC, the
BayStack AN and ANH provide easy-
to-use command line syntax for
router configuration and mainte-
nance. It is ideal for centralized
management of remote routers.
Online Dynamic Reconfiguration
Dynamic reconfiguration eliminates
the need to schedule network down-
time to reconfigure any BayStack AN
or ANH. Configuration parameters
can be changed by issuing SNMP SET
commands while the switch is opera-
tional. Any changes made with SNMP
SET are volatile and are lost when the
router reboots. To preserve changes,
the router’s active configuration must
be saved permanently to a file in
nonvolatile memory. This file defines
the router’s new baseline configura-
tion and ensures that it is properly
configured to meet the current net-
work requirements.
