Chapter 1 Introduction What Is in This Chapter This chapter introduces the SPECTRUM management module covering the SMARTMIM-216. It describes the following: • SMARTMIM-216 • SPECTRUM Device Management - Accessing SPECTRUM Views • SPECTRUM Views Roadmap • SPMA Support SMARTMIM-216 The SMARTMIM-216 is a 16-port high performance Ethernet switching module with Fast Ethernet uplinks.
SPECTRUM Device Management SPECTRUM Device Management SPECTRUM management modules are software packages that provide templates for creating models of devices. These templates, called model types, specify attributes that correspond to objects defined in the Management Information Bases (MIBs) which govern the operation of the device or application to be modeled. SpectroGRAPH uses modified window’s views to graphically display these models as icons.
