Software Release Notes Page 20
VLAN Fault Isolation
SPECTRUM now models logical VLAN topologies with added intelligence
that pinpoints faults in a network that contains VLANs including the
industry standard (802.1Q), Cisco ISL, and Cabletron’s pre-standard
802.1Q (ct-vlan-ext MIB). Additionally, new VLAN overlays are available
for topology views. Port and user views per VLAN have been added. These
views are intended to facilitate network planning and troubleshooting.
The VLAN topology overlays and new Port View and User View are
available for Cabletron’s SecureFast VLAN technology.
Throttling
SPECTRUM Throttling regulates how many management requests are
sent by SPECTRUM to a network device or application. It allows a
SPECTRUM user to set the number of outstanding requests allowed for
any given agent thus increasing the performance from those devices.
Top 10 CPU and Memory Users
In SPECTRUM 6.0, network administrators are now able to see in the
Performance View the 10 Top CPU, and Memory users.
Toolbar Added to SpectroGRAPH
A toolbar has been added to many SPECTRUM views. This gives a
consistent look and functionality over a broad range of SPECTRUM
applications. When the mouse moves over a button, a tool tip appears and
the button appears raised.
Bookmarks Menu Added To the Menubar
A Bookmarks menu has been relocated from under the View menu and
made a menu on the menubar. This provides easier accessibility to
bookmark selections.
