Getting Started with Site Manager

Site Manager is a software application for conﬁguring and managing Bay

Networks routers. It uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to make router

conﬁguration and management tasks easier. Site Manager is a collection of tools

that enable you to perform the following tasks:

• Router conﬁguration

• Software image building

• File management

• Router performance monitoring

You can operate Site Manager on a PC or a UNIX workstation, and integrate it

with many popular Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications,

such as the Hewlett-Packard OpenView Network Node Manager.
