For managing a network, the AlliedView NMS product provides a powerful client that presents the network and its devices
in a user-friendly way, allowing its users to learn quickly how the network is configured, how to reconfigure elements when
necessary, and how to spot problems (or potential problems) before they degrade network performance.
The Allied Telesis iMG/RG is a product that supports multiple services, and when connected to the AlliedView NMS they
can be discovered and monitored, as well as provisioned; using the AlliedView NMS, the network administrator can
configure the RG and ensure that the correct (i.e. the most current) software loads are on the RG. This makes
administration of the (many) RGs easier to maintain.
The network administrator can follow various provisioning strategies, but all involve the following concepts:
