ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This User’s guide provides brief descriptions of how to use the various menus and operations
found in the D-View Network Management System. This guide does not discuss network design or
management concepts, nor does it provide detailed explanation or definitions of SNMP, MIBs,
RMON or associated concepts. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with these standardized
networking concepts and protocols; hence variables presented in the D-View menus are self-
explanatory. Variables such as MIB objects are listed exactly as they appear on the D-View GUI.
