Introduction to SPMA for the TRMMIM
• TFTP Download
• Trap Table
The Charts, Graphs, and Meters application is accessible from the Hub View and
the command line; the Global Find MAC Address Tool is accessible from the
platform console window Tools menu; the MIBTree application is accessible from
the platform console window Tools menu, the Stand-alone Launcher window,
and the command line; the Telnet application is available from the command line;
the rest of the tool applications are available only from the icon menu or the
command line.
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 TRMMIM in
stand-alone mode (without benefit of a specific network management system),
instructions for starting each application from the command line are included in
each chapter, both in this guide and in the
SPMA Tools Guide
.
Conventions
The family of SPECTRUM Portable Management Applications 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 graphical interface in use. For
the sake of consistency, the following conventions will be followed throughout
this and other SPMA guides.
Screen Displays
SPMA runs under a variety of different operating systems and graphical user
interfaces. To maintain a consistent presentation, screen displays in this and other
SPMA guides show an OSF/Motif environment. If you’re used to a different GUI,
don’t worry; the differences are minor. Buttons, boxes, borders, and menus
displayed on your screen may look a bit different from what you see in the guide,
but they’re organized and labelled the same, located in the same places, and
perform the same functions in all screen environments.
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, 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.
