Device Manager Overview

Device Manager is an application that manages network devices using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Device Manager is a graphical user interface (GUI) between you and the support internet working devices that make up your network. Device Manager allows you to remotely manage a single device, just as though you were in the wiring closet. It makes retrieval of configuration information for a device a point and click operation.

Device Manager displays a real-time physical view of the front panel of a device. From the front panel view, you can view fault, configuration, and performance information for the device, a module, or a single port.

Other management tools that are not part of device management software such as VLAN Manager, Configuration Page, and the command line interface (CLI), allow you to manage some aspects of your routing switch.

The features described in this help system are generic to all Device Manager applications.
