Extreme Networks Device Support

Inventory Manager applet, or by setting alarms that notify you about conditions or events on your
network devices. You can display a high-level overview of the status of your network devices as a
hierarchical topology map.
Extreme Networks Device Support
Extreme Networks devices running the ExtremeWare software version 6.2 or later, or ExtremeXOS
software, are supported by most features in the EPICenter system, including the VLAN Manager and
the graphical display features of the Inventory Manager applet. Some features, such as ESRP, or the
Policy Manager, require more recent versions of the ExtremeWare software.
Devices running versions of ExtremeWare that have reached the end of their support life may continue
work with many features of the EPICenter system. However, continued support in the future cannot be
guaranteed.
NOTE
See the EPICenter Release Notes or the Extreme Networks web site for the most current information on device
support in the EPICenter software.

Third-Party Device Support

Any device running a MIB-2 compatible SNMP agent can be discovered by the EPICenter Inventory
manager, and saved in the Inventory database. All devices in the database can also appear on a
topology map. The EPICenter alarm system can handle basic MIB-2 SNMP traps from any device in the
inventory database, including RMON traps from devices with RMON enabled. The Real-Time Statistics
module can display statistics for any device with RMON enabled.
EPICenter's third-party integration framework allows selected devices to be integrated into EPICenter
with a higher level of functionality. Devices integrated through this framework may include device-
specific front and rear panel views, additional SNMP trap support, support for Telnet macros, and the
ability to launch external applications from within EPICenter, if appropriate.
EPICenter also provides support for Avaya Voice Network devices through an integration between
EPICenter and Avaya Integrated Management software that co-reside on the same system.
