Force10 Node Manager Guide, version 1.5.0 15

Overview

Node Manager is a GUI-based interface that enables network administrators to manage an individual

Force10 device. The Node Manager features include:

• An intuitive Java interface

• Fast access to the device via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Telnet

• Performance monitoring functions

• Support for all Force10 switches (with the possible exception of newly released models), including

C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series

• Line card support

Node Manager is available both as a standalone application and as a standard component of Force10

Management System (FTMS). When used as a standalone application, you use the Node Manager launch

screen to point to the management IP address of a particular Force10 switch. While you can only point

Node Manager at one switch per session, you can point Node Manager at a different switch each session.

When used as a component of FTMS, the role of Node Manager is transparent. FTMS relies on SNMP

discovery, so you do not need to identify a particular management IP address for Node Manager to

function within FTMS.

Note that you can run FTMS and a standalone Node Manager from the same computer. So, for example, if

your current need is only to manage a particular switch and does not include having a global network view,

you could simply use Node Manager.
