D-Link D-View 6.0 SNMP Network Management Software

Product Description

D-View 6.0 SNMP Network Management System (Standard edition) is a comprehensive standards-based management tool designed to centrally manage critical network characteristics such as availability, reliability, resilience & security in a consistent way. Flexible & versatile, this software accommodates a wide range of D-Link & third-party devices. D-View 6.0 is organized into a vendor-independent platform & user plug-in modules. The platform consists of several main components, which can be loaded or unloaded according to the user's needs. Plug-in modules exist for the D-Link devices that the administrators want to manage. When a device is selected for management, D-View 6.0 will look for that device's plug-in module & display its image on the screen. Users can create a topology map to graphically represent an existing or planned network. Users can further customize their diagrams with selected icons & bitmap files used for the background. When a topology map is opened, D-View 6.0 will discover the devices connected on the network & display their icons on the map. Then D-View 6.0 periodically polls network devices to monitor their status, via the SNMP & ICMP protocols. D-View 6.0 can recognize SNMP-enabled devices & also distinguish the device's type. For remote network devices, D-View 6.0 acts as a trap receiver, collecting traps sent by the devices & notifying network administrators immediately. For those non-D-Link devices that do not have plug-in modules, D-View 6.0 offers a MIB compiler to integrate third-party MIB files into the system. After compilation, D-View 6.0 loads them into the database. The compiler can communicate with these devices, enabling the administrator to get the values currently stored in the devices or to set new values for specific MIB objects. All MIBs are converted into a graphic tree view, accessible by the administrator to manage the devices. As non-D-Link devices do not have plug-in modules for installatio
