LANtern Management Module
Introduction Novell LANtern Network Monitor
1-2 Management Module Guide
The management module software allows a network administrator to model,
monitor, and manage individual devices or groups of devices on a network.
The LANtern Network Monitor/LANtern NMM Management Module contains
all the information necessary to manage Novell LANtern Network Monitor
and LANtern NMM devices using SPECTRUM, including a software
emulation of the actual LANtern Network Monitor and LANtern NMM device
attributes and functionality.
The LANtern Network Monitor/LANtern NMM Management Module
supports the Novell LANtern Network Monitor or LANtern NMM devices
managed through the SNMP basic network management agent. SPECTRUM
bases its management of the Novell LANtern Network Monitor and LANtern
NMM on the Management Information Base (MIB), which comes as part of
the management module.
Table 1-1 provides the Model Type Name for the LANtern devices and a brief
description of the LANtern versions supported by the SPECTRUM LANtern
management module.
Table 1-2 lists the views in which LANtern device models may be created.
Table 1-1. Model Type Description
Model Type Name Description
NA_Nov_LANtern Novell LANtern Network Monitor, which acts as a stand
alone monitor on an Ethernet segment.
NA_Nov_LANMIM The Novell LANtern NMM, which when installed in a
Cabletron Systems MMAC, monitors the Ethernet
segments attached to that MMAC.
IndrctLANtern The Novell Indirect LANtern model, which allows
modelling of the devices on the segment being monitored if
those devices do not have SPECTRUM models of their own.
