5.4 Router Manager
The clearVISN Router Manager application is used for managing a routed network
composed of routers from Digital Equipment Corporation, Cisco, Bay Networks,
Novell and 3Com. It does this by working with the IETF standard Management
Information Base (MIB), and the enterprise-specific extensions defined by these
vendors for their router products. clearVISN Router Manager can also manage other
routers and bridges in a limited fashion by working with their standard MIB.
Router Manager manages WAN services such as frame relay and X.25 routing
protocols such as OSPF, IGRP, and NLSP.
Router Manager displays data from individual devices in pie charts, graphs, and
tables that can be exported to an external program. The Device Database application
provides extensive reports and exporting capability for collected data. Real-time
information including traffic graphs, configuration data, network path information
and other pertinent information can also be displayed.
