Major Software Application Models
When a device is modeled, SPECTRUM automatically creates a model for
each major software application (such as the RMONApp) that is present on
the device. Major software application models appear in SPECTRUM’s
Application View in the first tier beneath the device model; black lines connect
each major model directly to the device model. SPECTRUM associates major
application models with the device model through the Model Type Editor’s
“Manages” relation. (For additional information about the Model Type Editor
(MTE), see the SPECTRUM Model Type Editor Guide.) Information presented
in the major application model is a summary of the minor software
applications associated with it through the MTE’s “Provides” relation. The
RMONApp model represents the RMON MIB in the RMON device’s
application view.
Minor Software Application Models
When a device is modeled, SPECTRUM automatically creates a model for
each minor software application (such as an RMON probe) that is present on
the device. Minor software application models appear in SPECTRUM’s
Application View beneath the first tier of major models; black lines connect
each minor model directly to its major model. SPECTRUM associates minor
application models with the major software application models through the
MTE’s “Provides” relation.
• The RMONEthProbe model represents the RMON MIB in an Ethernet
device’s application view. SPECTRUM creates an RMONEthProbe model
for each Ethernet interface supported by the device.
• The RMONTRProbe application model represents the RMON MIB in a
Token Ring device’s application view. SPECTRUM creates an
RMONTRProbe model for each Token Ring interface supported by the
RMON device.
A probe model can provide monitor point capabilities when pasted into a
SPECTRUM 802.3 or 802.5 LAN segment model. Refer to Chapter 2 for
instructions about how to designate a probe as a monitor point.
Device Models
The IndirectRMON device model, which you create, represents a physical
device on the subnet known to the RMON agent through MAC address
information located in the Host group. For further information, refer to
Chapter 7, Creating IndirectRMON Models.
