Meeting Network and Device Requirements
You must ensure the correct configuration of devices, and all devices must be
connected to the Network Management System (NMS) running OpenView or
NetView through a TCP/IP network. The physical medium that connects the
devices to NMS must be supported by the TCP/IP software package. If the
platform can communicate with the device using the OpenView SNMP MIB
Browser,
then the DCE Manager software can manage the device.
