Annex Manager Environment - Bay Networks Manager User Manual

Introduction

Annex Manager Environment

Annex Manager is an SNMP-based management application that uses the
X/Motif graphical environment for its user interface and the standard
SNMP protocol to send commands to the Annex. Since it is designed to
run stand-alone, Annex Manager includes statically linked SNMP
protocol routines and the X/Motif binary libraries. The installation
process copies the appropriate binary executable and all the associated
help and data files from the distribution media to the workstation's disk
storage. Although it is not a requirement, you should consider installing
Annex Manager on the same workstation you use for the Annex software
installation.
Annex Manager depends on the proprietary MIB defined for the Annex
and on the various standard MIBs supported by the Annex. As such,
Annex Manager cannot manage other SNMP-manageable nodes in the
network, and is not intended to be a generic SNMP management tool.
Annex Manager may be loosely coupled with several standard network
management products such as SunNet Manager, HP/Openview, or IBM
Netview for AIX. However, Annex Manager is not tightly integrated with
these products.
