Overview
SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise is a general-purpose Distributed Network Manager
offering the following major benefits over a standalone product:
• By using polling and ser ver co mponents that run on multiple
computers, SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise can be scaled to manage very large
networks.
• By using multiple remote login consoles, SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise
encourages sharing of management information by many people.
• SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise is cost-effective because a collection of SNMPc
5.0 Enterprise components costs much less than an equivalent number
of standalone ma nagers.
SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise uses the popular SNMP management protocol to poll
and configure devices, workstations and serves over IP or IPX networks.
Along with all the features you expect in any SNMP management station,
SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise also includes the following advanced features:
• Scaleable to 25,000 managed devices.
• Custom MIB Tables with Derived MIB Expressions.
• Long term statistics polling.
• Scheduled WEB and Printed Trend Reports
• Automatic statistic baselines and threshold alarms.
• GUI Device support for dozens of vendors.
• Event forward i ng email/pager notifications.
• Full RMON-I user interface application.
SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise also includes a simple DLL based programming
interface that you can use to develop vendor-specific applications.
Use this installation booklet to help you install SNMPc 5.0 Enterprise and
