HP OPENVIEW INTEGRATION
Overview This chapter describes how 3Com Network Administrator integrates with
HP OpenView.
Once 3Com Network Administrator has been installed you will find that
when you next launch HP OpenView it has been customized for
enhanced support of 3Com devices and 3Com management
applications. Specifically the enhancements are as follows:
■ Symbol customization for 3Com devices — HP OpenView will
recognize 3Com devices and correctly identify their type. If you view
the properties for a 3Com symbol on the map it will show the device
type and the fact that it is a 3Com Connector.
■ 3Com proprietary MIBs — you can use the HP OpenView MIB browser
to access 3Com proprietary MIBs.
■ Enhanced 3Com Trap Decoding — if HP OpenView receives a trap
from a 3Com device it will display a more meaningful message in the
alarm list.
■ Menu customization for launching 3Com management applications.
■ When a 3Com device is selected and if the device supports it, the
following applications can be launched from the right-click menu:
■ 3Com Device View — a 3Com device management application
(only available for certain 3Com device types).
■ 3Com Web Interface — if the 3Com device supports Web
management this will launch the default Web browser against the
selected device.
■ 3Com Switch Manager — the element manager for the Switch
7700.
■ 3Com Router Manager — the element manager for the 3Com
router family.
